Storms return Wednesday, continued hot and humid

TONIGHT: It will be a warm, muggy night with partly cloudy skies. Lows will bottom out only in the lower 70s with southerly winds at 5-8 mph.

WEDNESDAY: Weakening storms moving across northern Missouri in the morning could affect areas north of HWY 24 in the morning. Most areas will be dry until afternoon with an increasing chance of storms through the evening hours. Most of Mid-Missouri is under a slight severe risk for possible strong wind gusts of 58 mph or greater or hail the size of quarters or greater. Rainfall amounts will range from .25″ to .50″ south of I-70 with areas north of I-70 up to .75″ rain.

EXTENDED: After a chance of early morning storms Thursday, it looks like a hot and humid day with high temperatures in the low 90s and heat indices in the mid-upper 90s. Most areas will stay dry Thursday but we are watching for possible storms late Thursday night into Friday morning. It will remain hot and sticky Friday as high temperatures climb to near 90. Storm chances increase Friday night into Saturday morning with a partly cloudy, hot, humid afternoon Saturday reaching the lower 90s. A cold front will move through early Sunday bringing another chance of storms Saturday night into Sunday morning and cooling us down a few degrees Sunday with slightly less humidity for Father’s Day.
