It hasn't been the most intense heat of the season, but it has been warm the last few days.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Mike Albano at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio it is not uncommon for heat to set up over the Midwest, and overnight lows recently are not cooling off that much.

Albano indicates some rain coming into the area today (Tuesday) will bring a slight cool down for a few days before we get hot again heading into the weekend.

According to Albano, the next few days should be rather pleasant before a return to the hot and humid weather this weekend.

Albano indicates we are approaching the time of the year when the tropical storm season can alter the outlooks for the late summer and fall months.
