Heat wave through Saturday, storms Saturday night
TONIGHT: It will be a very similar night to the past few, as skies will remain mostly clear. Temperatures will be warm, bottoming out in the mid to upper 70s with muggy conditions. Winds will be light out of the south up to 6 mph.
FRIDAY: Temperatures will climb quickly under sunny skies, reaching 90 by 10 AM and into the upper 90s in the afternoon. The humidity will make it feel like 104 to 110 in the afternoon as winds come in from the southwest up to 10 mph.
EXTENDED: It will stay dry through Saturday but rain chances increase Saturday evening in northern Missouri as a cold front drops south. Storms will increase north of I-70 after 7 PM Saturday and move south overnight. There is a marginal severe threat Saturday evening along and north of I-70 for possible isolated large hail or damaging wind gusts. Spotty showers and t-storms are possible through mid-morning Sunday then we’ll dry out until later in the afternoon as scattered storms develop near I-70, moving south and ending Sunday night. This will bring relief from the heat with high temperatures staying near 90 Sunday. Temperatures will be seasonal for Monday and Tuesday, reaching the upper 80s. However, the cold front will turn around as a warm front and move back in Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing a slight chance of storms and rising heat and humidity for the second half of next week as high temperatures climb back into the lower 90s.
