When it comes to extreme weather, people generally look to America's hurricane- or earthquake-prone coasts and say that’s where the danger is. But not always.
A summer heatwave that swept through Lincoln this weekend bringing scorching temperatures hasn't deterred people from venturing outdoors.
Thursday was the beginning of what's on average the hottest time of the year in Lincoln. And, at least for the next few days, it's going to feel like it.
A portion of west-central Lancaster County was placed under a severe thunderstorm warning Wednesday evening.
HOUSTON — The return of soaring heat in Houston on Tuesday deepened the misery for millions of people still without power after Hurricane Beryl crashed into Texas and left residents in search of places to cool off and fuel up in one of the nation's largest cities.
Forecasters say a long-running heat wave that has already shattered previous records across the U.S. will persist, baking parts of the West with dangerous temperatures that will soar into the 100s. The scorching weather will also hold the East in its hot and humid grip throughout the week.
Sizzling sidewalks and unshaded playgrounds are a danger for catastrophic burn injuries as air temperatures reach new summer highs in desert cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Thousands died last year from heat-related illnesses. Here’s how a landmark rule would protect the rights of employees.
The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northern Lancaster County, including areas of north Lincoln, until 12:15 p.m.
Hurricane Beryl turned into a monstrous Category 5 storm after making landfall in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least two people. What is its projected path?
The Lincoln Airport had reported nearly 1 1/2 inches of rain between 11 a.m. and midnight.
Beryl was the earliest Category 4 Atlantic hurricane on record, besting Hurricane Dennis, which became a Category 4 on July 8, 2005. Beryl amassed its strength from record warm waters.
