This afternoon, heat index values as hot as 100 to 102 degrees
are forecast mainly south of a line from Cambridge Nebraska to

to marginally severe, and also produce heavy rain.
Thursday is expected to remain dry for much of the area, with off
and on chances for thunderstorms returning Friday through Monday.

size, or any flooding that might occur this evening and tonight.
