Hot and Humid Weather Returns | Omaha News

Get ready for a scorcher — July’s heat and humidity are sticking around through Tuesday, with temps hitting the upper 80s to low 90s in the east and mid to upper 90s out west. Stay dry most of the state, but watch for isolated strong storms in the Panhandle and western Nebraska Tuesday evening. Wednesday brings a slight moisture boost and rising humidity, pushing heat index values into the mid to upper 90s, with the best storm chances in eastern Nebraska (including Lincoln) Wednesday night into Thursday, then again Thursday evening into Friday — possible strong to severe storms. Temperatures dip slightly later in the week into the middle 80s, but don’t relax — a strong ridge of high pressure moves in this weekend, bringing back dangerously hot and humid conditions starting Sunday. Heat index values will soar above 100 degrees and linger through next week. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and brace for the return of extreme heat.
