Much of the state is under a heat advisory for the weekend.
A heat advisory has been issued for Western and North Central Nebraska from noon on Saturday through 10 p.m. Monday. Daytime highs are expected to reach the upper 90s and lower 100s. Temperatures are forecasted to reach as high as 107 degrees in some areas. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illness.
To stay safe during the extreme heat, the National Weather Service recommends finding air conditioning, avoiding strenuous activities, wearing light clothing, checking on family members and neighbors, drinking plenty of water, watching for heat cramps, exhaustion, or strokes, and never leaving people or pets in a closed car.
