Early summer heat is setting records, and creating worries.
Brian Fuchs with the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln says they took notice of record highs set last week…..

Fuchs, during this month’s central region climate update, says this type of heat is showing up about six weeks ahead of normal…..

Fuchs says heat like that could lead to what is called a “flash drought” in some places…..

Fuchs says there is some similarity to this pattern and that of the summer of 2012, which saw numerous days of 100 or higher, coupled with drought conditions.
