If you enjoy true summer weather complete with hot temperatures and high humidity, you will likely enjoy the next week of weather, and perhaps beyond.
An upper-level ridge of high pressure currently centered over the Four-Corners region will be the main factor in our weather for at least the next week. It has already begun to pump heat and humidity into Greater Nebraska today, but by tomorrow it will become very hot.
Tonight will be partly cloudy, and there is a risk of a thunderstorm, which could be on the strong side with damaging winds and hail, with lows by morning in the upper 60’s.
But the temperature will rise quickly during Saturday under sunny skies, and by late afternoon highs across the area will be in the upper 90’s to mid 100’s, and the humidity will make it feel even hotter. In fact, heat of this magnitude can be dangerous so caution is advised during any outdoor activities. There is a slight risk of a storm later in the day, but most will not see one.
Then a cool front will approach Saturday night from the north, and move through during Sunday morning. However, this front will stall over the Nebraska, Kansas border during the day Sunday, so while temperatures will not be as hot as they will be on Saturday, highs in the upper 80’s to middle 90’s, along with at least moderate levels of humidity, will still make it a very uncomfortable day.
Next week will be mainly sunny and hot with high in the 90’s, and there is a chance of at least isolated thunderstorms any day.
Stay tuned to KNOP News 2 over the weekend for the latest on this heat event.
