Hot, humid weekend with possible storms
A typical August weather pattern is setting up this weekend which means a return to hot, sticky days, warm nights and storm chances.
Clouds will drift through the area Saturday morning but skies will become mostly sunny during the afternoon with high temperatures reaching the lower 90s. The humidity will make it feel like 100 to 105 Saturday afternoon with highest heat indices west of HWY 63 and at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Storms are expected to develop near the Iowa border Saturday late-afternoon and will move to the east-southeast, possibly affecting areas north of I-70 Saturday evening. There is a severe threat with these storms, primarily damaging winds up to 60 mph but large hail is also possible.
After a chance of morning showers & t-storms Sunday north of I-70, temperatures will heat up to near 90 north and into the low to mid 90s south of I-70 in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Heat indices will climb as high as 108 at the Lake of the Ozarks and western Missouri.
A cold front will move across the area Sunday night. Out ahead of this front, spotty, strong storms are possible Sunday afternoon which will increase Sunday night as the front pushes south.
