An upper level ridge of high pressure will build into the Northern and Central Plains through Tuesday. This will bring sunny skies, dry conditions and highs mainly in the 90s. A few locations in northern Nebraska could see highs exceed 100. A breezy south wind 15 to 25 mph can also be expected each day, especially across the Sandhills into north central Nebraska. The heat may pose a risk to those without adequate cooling or those who must spend extended periods outdoors.
Temperatures will continue to warm up this week, with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Some locations may break into the lower 100s. Make sure to have a plan to beat the heat this week!
