Uncomfortable warmth brings heat advisory through Monday
**HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MONDAY AT 8PM AND TUESDAY AT 8 PM**
MONDAY: Monday will be another hot day as temperatures climb into the mid-90s with increasing clouds through the day. We will see heat index values from 100-105 degrees into the afternoon hours. It’s important to stay hydrated and make sure to properly apply sunscreen if you have to be outdoors. Strenuous outdoor activity is not advised with dangerous heat in the forecast.
TONIGHT: Another uncomfortable evening is in store as temperatures settle into the middle 70s. We remain under partly cloudy skies. Winds will be light out of the south at 6 to 9 mph.
EXTENDED : A fairly significant shift in upper level activity will signal to a pattern change across mid-Missouri. As we break down the stubborn ridge over the southeast, it will give way to seasonal temperatures and dropping humidity across the region as temperatures begin to drop back into the mid 80s through the week. The depression of that ridge will also give an opportunity for a stationary boundary to hang over northern Missouri, which will bring the return of an active weather pattern. By Tuesday afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will increase across mid-Missouri, especially north of I-70. With these storms there is a marginal risk for severe weather in our northern counties, which brings the potential for damaging winds and large hail Tuesday afternoon and evening. A marginal risk continues west of HWY 63 on Wednesday with continued chances for t-storms. Increasing rain chances will provide for some drought relief across the area within the next 7 days. Higher rainfall totals look north of I-70, which could range up to 3″, and up to 1.5″ south. Watch ABC 17 News for the latest forecast and check back here for updates.
