As we get to the final couple of weeks of June, expect the traditional summer heat to arrive.

It starts mid-week this week says Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln. He says it may be the first shock to the system with how hot it could get. 

Moving past this week, Shimon says the heat is expected to stick around with outlooks calling for above normal temperatures and even above normal precipitation.

We're just a few days away from the summer solstice but Shimon indicates because of the curvature of the Earth, we will actually see the latest sunset of the year in a few weeks still.

We'll have more with Shimon later this week on the outlooks for the remainder of the summer and some drought conditions that could be setting up.
