The majority of July Fourth will be hot and humid with high temperatures expected to reach the low 90s. Most of the day should remain dry, too, in the Omaha metro, but storm chances will increase into the overnight hours.

That trend will continue into this afternoon and evening. Highs will rise to the upper 80s and low 90s across the region. Dewpoints will be in the low 70s and 60s on this Independence Day. Southern winds will also be breezy around 10-15 mph with gusts reaching the low 20s.

Repeated rounds of stormy weather loitering off the Southeast coast could do more than just dampen fireworks celebrations in Florida this weekend – there’s a good chance it becomes hurricane season’s next named storm.
