Tracking dangerous pm heat with overnight storms
TODAY: Tuesday will be notably warmer than Monday. Temperatures reach into the 90s, with enough humidity to have us feeling like low triple digits in the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Storms return from the north along a cold front after 8 p.m. near Brunswick and Macon. At this point, we'll have a chance for strong to severe storms, with all types of severe weather possible. While this is the case, there is high uncertainty on the exact strength of storms by the time they reach these communities. With storms expected to quickly run out of severe ingredients with southeastward extent, there's a decent chance that most of us don't see severe storms. The problem is with wind shear to maintain storm organization here locally. The better organized storms look to stay mostly north of the region. However, those who do see severe weather, will have a chance for hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, with wind being the greatest threat.
EXTENDED: Showers will linger Wednesday morning, before storms redevelop in the south during the afternoon. This may keep highs in the upper 80s to just near 90. More thunderstorm chances return Thursday, and depending on the exact path of the low pressure system that brings them, we could see storms become severe here as well. This may be a better chance for severe weather more squarely in mid-Missouri, and our rough time frame would be in the evening when many are planning events for Independence Day. Right now, plan to be weather minded on the 4th of July. The weekend is cooler and drier, with highs forecast in the 80s.
