Dangerous heat sets in tomorrow, Weather Alert Day goes into effect

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy and muggy with lows in the low 70s.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny, dangerously hot and humid. Highs in the mid-90s with a heat index in the 103-108 degree range.

EXTENDED: A Weather Alert Day is in effect Wednesday through Saturday for extreme heat expected across all of Mid-Missouri. Little to no rain is in the forecast and humidity will become unbearable to deal with for more than a few minutes outside. The heat index will range between 103-108+ each day through Saturday, and possibly into Sunday. A cold front is expected to track through the area bringing cooler air and a slight chance of rain either Sunday night or Monday, and that will usher in cooler high pressure from the north for the rest of the following week. Rain chances remain slim over the next 7-10 days.
