Dangerous heat and humidity are forecast for Wednesday through Friday across eastern Nebraska and most of Iowa.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for each of those days from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.

In Omaha, highs of 100 degrees and a heat index approaching 110 are forecast for Wednesday through Friday, according to the weather service.

If the temperature reaches 100 on each of those days, it will be Omaha’s hottest stretch of days since 2012, the state’s hottest, driest year on record.

Conditions are expected to improve slightly over the weekend.
