Triple digit heat index values are back for your Monday 8/23/2021

We are off to a muggy start to your Monday as temperatures are sitting in the 70s with humid conditions. Some of you are also seeing a few rain drops out there as showers are moving eastward south of I-80 this morning. These showers will continue to weaken as we head closer to sunrise and we will have an overall drier afternoon and evening. A few spotty showers and thunderstorms are likely this evening in northeast Nebraska, but the biggest topic in the world of weather today is the heat and humidity!
