Warmer air and higher humidity return on Sunday

Saturday night is the last opportunity to get outside and enjoy the lower temperatures and humidity.

Clear skies are in the forecast for Saturday night. A few versions of Stormcast have thrown a few low clouds into the picture early Sunday. That said, any low clouds that do develop will burn off on Sunday morning. We expect low temperatures in the low to mid-60s in Lincoln.

Starting Sunday, the heat and humidity ramp up once again. We’re forecasting a high temperature near 90° in Lincoln, with humidity increasing throughout the day.

For almost all of Sunday, skies should be mostly clear. However, we will have a front positioned in central Nebraska. We could see a few showers and storms developing along the front on Sunday afternoon. A few of those storms may be on the stronger side.

These showers will attempt to make a run towards the south and southeast, but it will be a race against the clock. Once we lose the heating of the day, the showers will weaken and ultimately fizzle out.

For any given location in southeast Nebraska, the overall odds of seeing one of these showers are low. However, there will be a few storms out there that we may have to dodge.

Heading into next week, the trend of increasing heat and humidity continues. By Tuesday, highs may be nearing the century mark!
