DISCUSSION

Issued at 1119 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2026

Tonight and Tuesday...

High pressure continues to reign over the region, keeping us warm and dry. Temperatures generally reached the mid 80s and low 90s Monday afternoon. Lows tonight will fall into the mid 60s. Patchy fog will be possible across parts of southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa, especially in low lying areas, where crossover temperatures are reached and winds diminish.

Any fog that does develop should burn off shortly after sunrise Tuesday. Highs will be similar to Monday's, perhaps a couple degrees warmer in the upper 80s and low 90s.

Friday and Beyond...

Temperatures continue to ramp up as we head into the latter half of the week. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s by Friday and Saturday and continue through the weekend. Meanwhile, overnight lows are forecast to remain in the lower 70s, providing little relief from the daytime heat. While certainly not a slam dunk, heat headlines may need to be considered Friday through Sunday.

Precipitation chances finally begin to creep back towards the forecast area late this weekend. Low pressure will finally begin to flatten the ridge as it moves into the Great Lakes region. While exact timing remains uncertain, this system will drag a cold front through the forecast area, bringing cooler temperatures and at least a slight chance for showers early next week.

Behind the front, northwesterly upper level flow returns, bringing more active weather/rain chances next week.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
