Hot and humid through Thursday

TONIGHT: It will be a muggy night with lows only dropping into the mid 70s and southwest winds at 5-8 mph. There is a slight storm chance in northern Missouri as far south as HWY 36 where there is a marginal threat for severe storms which could produce damaging wind gusts. TUESDAY: Expect another hot, humid day with mostly sunny skies. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 90s and heat indices will climb as high as 103 in the afternoon. Winds will come out of the southwest up to 10 mph.

EXTENDED: As we head into the middle of the week, the heat and humidity continue. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 90s Wednesday with heat indices near 105 in the afternoon. Storms are possible late Wednesday night into early Thursday with the best chance north of I-70 as a cold front slowly moves south. A few more storms could develop again late in the day Thursday but will become more likely Friday as the cold front moves south across all of Mid-Missouri. Temperatures will still be hot Thursday, depending on cloud cover from storms. Areas north of I-70 will stay in the low 90s but farther south, mid 90s will be reachable with heat indices at 100-104. Temperatures will come down a few more degrees Friday with a better chance of storms, keeping high temperatures near 90 and heat indices in the mid to upper 90s. We will stay near 90 for highs this weekend with a slight storm chance Saturday.
