HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - After seeing some extreme heat across the area on Wednesday with many areas setting new record highs, we’ll do it all again on Thursday as temperatures could be even hotter for some locations today.

Vehicles can quickly turn into death traps as temperatures inside could become deadly in just minutes in heat like we’ll see today, so anyone left inside a hot vehicle could easily become ill in just a matter of minutes. Not that anyone likely needs any reminders at this point, but the images below are some helpful tips on how to beat the heat!
