An EXTREME HEAT WARNING (Pink) and HEAT ADVISORY (Orange) are still in place for the majority of the state through Monday. Above average temperatures and high dew points will force the heat index into the triple digits over the coming days. Heat indices could reach up to 115 degrees in southeast Nebraska.

Monday afternoon, high temperatures reaching the mid to upper 90s for most of us. Temperatures will begin to cool off a few degrees after Monday.

Just like Sunday, temperatures will feel like the mid to upper triple digits by peak afternoon hours Monday. Good news, this will look to be our hottest and grossest day before our cool down begins.

A MARGINAL risk for severe weather is in place for the whole state of Nebraska Tuesday. Main threats with these disorganized storms will be damaging winds, small hail and heavy rain leading to flooding in spots. This risk will likely get upgraded to a SLIGHT risk due to the damaging wind threat. There is still uncertainty with storm timing and placement as this could render many factors for Tuesday and Wednesday.

StormCast shows some storms developing in north central Nebraska Monday afternoon and evening. Some storms could become severe due to damaging winds and hail.
