While our weather this weekend won’t be perfect… and certainly will be much warmer than last Saturday’s high of just 70 (our 2nd coolest Independence Day on record in Omaha)… it won’t be too bad either. Outside of scattered thunderstorms on Friday afternoon… we’ll stay mostly dry with skies that will vary from partly to mostly cloudy.
Temperature-wise… look for highs in the mid to upper 80s (around normal for early to mid-July)… and slightly humid conditions (dew point temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s). On the subject of warmth (or heat)… I wanted to pass along that today (July 10th) is the anniversary of the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States (and North America as well). Back in 1913… the mercury topped out at 134 at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California. Now THAT’S some heat !!
