Weekend Heat Turns Hot, Heat Indices in the 100s
The weekend is here, and temperatures are set to rise significantly, as the weather service has issued a heat advisory for Saturday. Residents should prepare for an intensely warm evening with muggy conditions. Rain is expected to stay well to the north, ensuring dry conditions tonight as temperatures only drop into the mid-70s by Saturday morning.
Saturday will kick off with some morning clouds, but the heat will intensify with temperatures soaring into the mid-90s around Omaha. By the afternoon, it will feel like it’s over 105 degrees. While there will be a breeze, it won’t be as strong as earlier in the week.
Sunday will bring more cloud cover, yet the sun will remain dominant, pushing temperatures into the mid-90s. The afternoon may see a rise in isolated showers and thunderstorms due to increased heat and humidity.
Looking ahead, Monday presents a better chance for showers and storms as a cold front approaches Omaha. Despite this, the region is expected to remain dry enough during the day to see temperatures in the low 90s. However, scattered storms are likely as night falls.
By Tuesday, the cold front will start asserting its presence, bringing a slight chance of storms. The day promises partly cloudy skies with temperatures reaching the upper 80s.
The middle of the week marks the beginning of a cool-down. By Wednesday and Thursday, decreasing humidity will be a welcome change. Expect temperatures in the mid-80s through Friday, gradually dipping into the low 80s as the weekend approaches.
