It will be a breezy and partly cloudy night. A few spotty showers will become possible just before daybreak on Friday. Lows will be in the mid 60s for Friday morning.

An isolated rain shower will be possible throughout the day on Friday, but most neighborhoods should stay dry. By the afternoon, some sunshine will come back out, aiding temperatures back in the lower 80s. Like Thursday, it could get a little breezy.

Rain will become possible on again for a few hours late Friday night, mainly after midnight, before clearing out of the region early Saturday morning. However, we could have a few rain showers linger in western Iowa for a couple of hours in the morning.

The summer heat and humidity will kick back in for the weekend. If you're heading to Offutt AFB for the Defenders of Freedom Air and Space Show, make sure you take sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

There will be a few clouds mixed in with Saturday's sunshine, but we will push into the low 90s. Sunday will be mostly sunny and even hotter, in the mid 90s. The humidity will make both days feel over 100. It might not help it feel much better, but at least the wind will be blowing around some.

We slowly pull back the heat early in the next workweek. Monday will be in the low 90s with a few clouds and a small chance for rain.

The small chance for rain continues into midweek with upper 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. Even cooler air will arrive next Thursday, with another chance for rain.
