    Few strong to severe storms will be possible across parts of northeast Nebraska and west-central Iowa tonight and Monday evening. Stay weather aware if you have outdoor plans!
    An infographic from the National Weather Service titled "Severe Storm Potential Tonight & Monday" displays two side-by-side regional risk maps for June 27 and June 29, 2026. The left map shows a level 1 "Marginal Risk" (dark green) covering parts of northeast Nebraska and western Iowa for Saturday night, while the right map highlights an elevated level 2 "Slight Risk" (yellow) shifting across the same region for Monday. A "What To Know" sidebar details a 15–30% chance of storms tonight and a 30–60% chance on Monday evening, noting that large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats.

    It may feel nice out there today, but things are about to change! Tomorrow through Wednesday will be hot, humid, and windy! (No, not a nice cooling breeze...) Prepare now for oppressive heat especially if you have outdoor plans this week!
    An infographic from the National Weather Service Omaha titled "HOT DAYS AHEAD..." displays a five-day weather forecast from "Today" through Wednesday using an unconventional, hand-drawn style chart. Red bar graphs track rising "feels like" temperatures that peak Sunday and Monday between 103° and 110°F, accompanied by icons and lines representing rising humidity, hair frizz, water intake needs, and wind gusts up to 35 mph. Graphic lines also comically track storm chances and a plunging number of "winter lovers" as the heat intensifies.

    With the weather heating up, make sure you have a way to keep cool and hydrated. Risk for heat exhaustion/heat stroke will be high.
    Practice Heat Safety wherever you are. Job Sites: stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade as often as possible. Indoors: Check up on the elderly, sick and those without AC. Vehicles: Never leave kids or pets unattended - LOOK before you LOCK. Outdoors: Limit strenuous outdoor activities, find shade, and stay hydrated. Heat-related deaths are preventable. Protect yourself and others from the impacts of heat waves.

    A dangerous heat wave will impact the central & eastern U.S. starting Sun and continue through the Jul 4 weekend. Highs will be in the 90s-100s with heat indices of 100–110° (locally 115°). Warm nights will offer little relief. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and seek A/C.
    High temperatures in the 90s to low 100s will make for a significant heat wave across the central and eastern U.S. beginning on Sunday and lasting through next week. These hot temperatures combined with high humidity will lead to heat indices of 100-110 degrees, and locally as high as 115. Low temperatures only dropping into the 70s will provide little overnight relief.

Multiple days of Major to Extreme HeatRisk are forecast across the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys next week. These levels of heat mean health impacts become more likely in general, and may occur in ANYONE without adequate hydration or cooling.

High or moderate extreme heat risks cover much of the U.S. east of the Rockies July 4-5, with a broader slight risk through July 7 extending as far west as the Great Basin. Heat indices of 100-110 degrees are possible, and warm nights in the 70s-80s may limit relief over the holiday weekend.

Stay informed and take steps to protect yourself from heat related illnesses.

    Now in regular words: We've got a few showers and storms popping up across the area this morning. They should remain somewhat spotty, but you might want to grab a rain jacket/umbrella for your commute. Also move indoors if you hear thunder.

    In the last 20 years, only 3 of 517 U.S. lightning fatalities occurred when a person was in a substantial building or fully enclosed metal vehicle. This is why we say "When thunder roars, go indoors!" When you're inside, avoid contact with plumbing or plugged-in devices.
