Remains warm, but not as humid

Lincoln is on its way to reaching 90° for the 37th day this year, but the good news for most is that it will not be as humid as recent days.

Skies will be sunny Thursday.  Temperatures will climb in to the lower and middle 90°s.  While this is above normal for this time of year, thankfully dew point temperatures will only be in the low 60°s this afternoon.  This will make for a minimal heat index, only a degree or two higher than the air temperature.

Clear skies tonight combined with light wind and lower dew point temperatures will set southeast Nebraska up for another seasonable morning Friday.  Low temperatures will be in the lower to middle 60°s.

Do not get used to lower humidity.  It quickly returns Friday afternoon, dew point temperatures will be in the middle to upper 60°s.  The air temperature will also be higher Friday.  Highs will be in the middle to upper 90°s.  This will lead to heat indices in the lower 100°s late Friday afternoon.
