Very hot and humid end to July before a cool start to August

What We’re Tracking

• Heat Advisory
• Mid-week rain chances
• Late-week cool down

Beginning the morning with temperatures already near the 80s with our heat index already in the low to mid 80s! Highs today will be around the mid to upper 90s with dewpoints in the upper 70s. This will be the start of a short period of very hot and humid weather as we end out July.

A Heat Advisory is in effect today and lasts through Tuesday for all counties except those bordering Nebraska; those counties are under the advisory through Monday. The heat won't stop there, expect highs in the mid to upper 90s through midweek. When you factor in the humidity and plenty of sunshine, it will feel even hotter. Heat indices may reach up to 110° in a few areas. Dew points will remain in the upper 70s, keeping things feeling tropical and very muggy.

Thankfully, the heat does not last long. Towards the end of the work week as an unusually colder pattern will usher in the new month. We end out July with showers and storms returning past midweek into the weekend with high temperatures to start out August as low as the upper 70s to lower 80s!
