FRIDAY: Morning storms are possible with the best chance north of I-70. These could contain heavy rain and strong wind gusts as they move south and decrease through early afternoon. It will be warmer an more humid behind a warm front which will lift into northeastern Missouri early in the day.

EXTENDED: Another cluster of storms will move across northern Missouri late Friday night into Saturday morning, possibly dropping as far south as I-70 but best chances are from HWY 36 northward. The heat will be locked in place through the weekend with high temperatures in the low 90s Saturday and near 90 Sunday, with heat indices close to 100 degrees. Spotty storms also look possible Saturday and Sunday but Labor Day looks dry with high temperatures near 90. Slight storm chances return next Wednesday as the heat and humidity persist.
