| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large dome of high pressure aloft brought a prolonged heat wave to eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. High temperatures during the stretch of hot weather consistently climbed into the upper 90s to a little over 100 degrees, peaking on July 22 through the 25th when highs climbed to 100 to 105 degrees over much of the region. Most locations had 4 to 7 days during this stretch when the high temperature climbed above 100 degrees. Dew points during the stretch of hot weather were not excessively high for the season, generally in the 60s and even some 50s during the hottest part of the day, thus heat index values were not that much different than the actual temperatures at peak heating. Morning lows did drop off into the 60s several mornings over this time, which provided some early day relief from the heat early in the event, however toward the end lows were more in the 70s and Omaha Eppley even had one morning that got no cooler than 84. Several record highs and a few record warm minimum temperatures were set during the heat wave. The heat wave was tempered somewhat late on the 26th as a cool front brought a shift to northwest winds and scattered thunderstorms. The rain for some areas was the first measurable precipitation for the month, but many locations received little or none continuing one of the driest Julys on record up to that point. |
