An excessive heat warning is in effect for Omaha and its surrounding region until the middle of next week. Due to the high heat, it will be hard to cool off homes without a/c. Check on your elderly friends, neighbors, and family members to make sure they are staying cool.
A warm front will move through the region, leading to temps jumping in the mid 90s by Saturday afternoon with noticeable humidity, feeling like 105-110. An isolated, pulse thundershower may be possible late in the afternoon and early evening.
Thanks to a weak Saturday night cold front, Sunday will be slightly cooler with highs in the low to mid 90s and a heat index of 100-105.
The dangerous combination of heat and humidity will continue most of next week. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s each afternoon, keeping the heat index well over 100 to 110. Most mornings will only cool in the mid 70s.
We should get some relief from the hot weather and a return of rain chances by the end of next week and next weekend.
