A Hot & Humid Weekend Coming Up

A weak cool front passed through Greater Nebraska today, but about the only change in the weather was a wind shift from a southerly direction to a northeasterly direction. This front will do little to cool us down or reduce humidity levels over the weekend, and as winds veer to a more southerly direction again tomorrow, expect the hot and muggy conditions to continue.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, and there is a slight chance of a thunderstorm especially over our southern and western areas with lows into the middle to upper 60’s.

But both days of the weekend will feature more heat and more humidity, and it will be breezy with only a slight risk of a thunderstorm Saturday and the chance of a late day storm on Sunday, so most outdoor plans should be fine. Expect a mix of sun and clouds both days with highs into the 90’s, which will feel a bit hotter because of at least moderate levels of humidity.

The next chance of any widespread thunderstorm activity should come Sunday night into Tuesday as another front, along with a strong disturbance travelling along it, approach the area.

Enjoy the weekend!
