Severe Weather & Heat Alert for Nebraska and Iowa | Omaha News

Severe storms are brewing for Friday night across Nebraska and Iowa, with a major threat rolling in after 7 p.m. — especially in southeast Nebraska — under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m. Temperatures are soaring into the upper 80s to low 90s, with heat index nearing 100 degrees, and extreme heat warnings are in effect for parts of southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri. While the Fourth of July will be hot and humid with highs near 90 and oppressive heat, storm chances appear to shift south of Omaha, leaving most holiday events dry — but stay alert and check reliable forecasts as this weather system moves through.
