.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1119 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2026

Tonight and Tuesday...

High pressure continues to reign over the region, keeping us warm
and dry. Temperatures generally reached the mid 80s and low 90s
Monday afternoon. Lows tonight will fall into the mid 60s. Patchy
fog will be possible across parts of southeast Nebraska and
southwest Iowa, especially in low lying areas, where crossover
temperatures are reached and winds diminish.

Any fog that does develop should burn off shortly after sunrise
Tuesday. Highs will be similar to Monday`s, perhaps a couple degrees
warmer in the upper 80s and low 90s.

Friday and Beyond...

Temperatures continue to ramp up as we head into the latter half of
the week. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s by Friday
and Saturday and continue through the weekend. Meanwhile, overnight
lows are forecast to remain in the lower 70s, providing little
relief from the daytime heat. While certainly not a slam dunk, heat
headlines may need to be considered Friday through Sunday.

Precipitation chances finally begin to creep back towards the
forecast area late this weekend. Low pressure will finally begin to
flatten the ridge as it moves into the Great Lakes region.  While
exact timing remains uncertain, this system will drag a cold front
through the forecast area, bringing cooler temperatures and at least
a slight chance for showers early next week.

Behind the front, northwesterly upper level flow returns, bringing
more active weather/rain chances next week.
