A steamy afternoon leading to storm chances
TUESDAY: Most of the rain has stayed toward Illinois this morning, and any of that cloud cover looks to break up pretty quickly this morning. This will help temperatures take off this morning topping out in the low 90s this afternoon. With the humidity slightly high today, heat indices could push the triple digits in some spots. And that steamy weather could pose as fuel for storms to reignite this afternoon, with the best chance south of I-70 and likely favoring east of HWY 63.
TONIGHT: Anything that does get going will move south of the area by early this evening, as skies will be mostly clear overnight with lows in the mid to upper 60s .
EXTENDED: The cold front that will deliver storms today will be to our south Wednesday, with a weak area of high pressure trying to build in. Latest data this morning is suggesting that we could see another complex of storms roll out of the Plains again, threatening the morning commute, but still have plenty of questions. We should know more as we head throughout the day. More rain chances on Thursday and Friday as a potent little disturbance moves through.
