Slight cooling by mid-week, spotty storms
TONIGHT: As has been the case the last couple of nights, any showers and thunderstorms that have developed in the afternoon hours will be dissipating as the sun sets. We drop down to near 70 with mostly clear skies and light winds from the east.
TUESDAY: Clouds will build to partly cloudy skies as temperatures climb to near 90 by afternoon with heat indices in the low 90s. There is a slight storm chance but anything that forms will be fairly isolated and short-lived with the best chance east of HWY 63. Easterly winds will increase to 10 mph in the afternoon.
EXTENDED: A cluster of storms moving into southwestern Missouri early Wednesday morning will spread clouds and possibly a few showers as far east as Truman Reservoir and western Camden co. early but most areas will stay dry until Wednesday afternoon. The heat will come down a few degrees for Wednesday with a spotty storms as Alberto tracks to our east and an upper level wave moves in from the west. Highs will reach the upper 80s Wednesday and near 90 for the end of the week. There continues to be a slight storm chance Thursday and again this weekend as temperatures reach into the mid to upper 80s. Stay tuned to ABC 17 for the latest updates to the forecast.
