Hot and humid this weekend
METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT RAIN TODAY, IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THAT HAS NOW CLEARED OUT. AND WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO WELCOME IN SOME SUN, BUT IT WON’T COME UNTIL LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BY THE TIME WE GET TO TOMORROW, EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS WILL BE AN OVERALL NICER DAY. THURSDAY MORNING THOUGH, THAT WILL BE OUR NEXT IMPACT DAY. THERE COULD BE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS THAT WILL BE AROUND ONCE WE GET TO THE AFTERNOON. WE WON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THEN WE HAVE MORE IMPACT WEATHER DAYS. NOT FOR RAIN. THIS WILL BE FOR HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THIS COULD BE SOME OF THE WARMEST FEELING AIR WHEN YOU COMBINE THE HEAT AND THE HUMIDITY TOGETHER THAT WE HAVE FELT SO FAR THIS YEAR. AND WHEN IT COMES TO HUMIDITY, THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, REALLY DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. TODAY, MAYBE A LITTLE STICKY, BUT REALLY NOT THAT BAD. FRIDAY WE’RE BACK INTO THE STICKY CATEGORY. SATURDAY THE HUMIDITY GOES UP INTO STEAMY, WHICH WOULD BE ABOVE A 65 DEGREE DEW POINT. ONCE WE GET ABOVE A 70 DEGREE DEW POINT, THAT’S WHEN IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE IN FLORIDA. YOU’RE KIND OF IN A SWAMP, AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THAT THIS WEEKEND, AND IT WILL BE COMBINED WITH 90 DEGREE AIR TEMPERATURES. SO GET READY TO SWEAT WHEN YOU WALK OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND. WE ARE 74 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. A SOUTHWEST WIND AT 11MPH. AGAIN, NOT OVERLY MUGGY FOR TODAY. YOU CAN’T REALLY SEE THE AIR IS DRY, BUT IT’S CERTAINLY NOT OVERLY HUMID. TEMPERATURES WILL STAY IN THE 70S THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY. WE REALLY DON’T HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF RAIN CHANCES. NOW THAT IS ALL WEST OF US AND TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 60S. ONCE WE GET BEYOND SUNSET TONIGHT, SUNSET. NOW AFTER 9:00, THERE’S LIGHT SHOWERS THAT ARE NOW FIZZLING OUT THERE TOWARDS LINCOLN AND REALLY WEST OF OUR VIEWING AREA, BUT YOU BRIGHTEN THINGS OUT EVEN MORE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE DEEPER CONVECTION LINED UP. AND THIS IS NOW IN SOUTH OR EXCUSE ME, NORTHWEST KANSAS AND DROPPING STRAIGHT SOUTHWARD SO DIDN’T GET ANYWHERE NEAR US. AND IT’S GOING TO STAY IN THAT DIRECTION AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AND LOOK AT THAT, WE COULD SEE THE CLOUDS BREAK UP A LITTLE BIT LATE THIS EVENING. A LITTLE COLD FRONT WILL COME THROUGH DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO A SMIDGE CHANCE, JUST A SMALL 20% CHANCE OF A SHOWER OVERNIGHT. THAT FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THROUGH THE DAY. TOMORROW. DOESN’T REALLY COOL US OFF A WHOLE LOT. WE COULD ACTUALLY GET EVEN WARMER FOR TOMORROW, PERHAPS THE LOWER 80S, AND THEN THURSDAY MORNING THAT’S WHEN WE HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS. AND THIS WOULD BE BRIEF. PROBABLY MOSTLY WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPING. IF YOU’RE GETTING OUTSIDE AROUND 6 OR 7 A.M., YOU COULD GET A LIGHT SHOWER ON THURSDAY. SO THAT’S WHY IT’S IMPACT WEATHER. AFTER THAT, THE AFTERNOON LOOKS GOOD AS WE PUSH INTO THE WEEKEND. AGAIN, THAT’S WHEN WE GET REALLY WARM AND HUMID OUTSIDE. LET’S SHOW YOU SUNDAY WHERE THE HEAT INDEX COULD GET ALL THE WAY UP TO 105 DEGREES, OR AT LEAST GREATER THAN 100 DEGREE HEAT INDEX. SO EXPECT WARMTH, HUMIDITY TO RETURN THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE WEEKEND, AND THAT WILL COME WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID OR LOW 90S. SO IT’S REALLY GOING TO FEEL LIKE A SWAMP OUTSIDE ONCE YOU GET CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND. SO PREPARE FOR THAT. IT’S GOING TO BE SWEATY. IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIK
