Tracking extreme heat and limited rain chances

TONIGHT: Some light showers will work in from the west this evening, but outside of a few sprinkles, we should stay mostly dry. After baking in the extreme heat and humidity, mid-MO will see little in the way of relief, as temps only fall to near 80 by Friday morning, meaning much of the evening will have a heat index in the triple digits and 90s.

TOMORROW: Friday is an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day, and will start warm, with mostly sunny skies, before becoming partly cloudy in the late afternoon. Temperatures will be hot, and skies will be dry. Any chance at spotty rainfall looks lower today than it did 24 hours ago. Still, with a stationary boundary nearby, chances are not zero, and we'll carry about a 10% chance for Friday.

EXTENDED: After a mostly dry end to the week, rain chances climb on Saturday as a cold front pushes into the region. Timing is still not exact at this point for the wind shift and the front itself, but it's beginning to look like we could see showers and storms along this front in mid-Missouri as soon as Saturday morning. Off and on isolated to scattered storms will be possible through the day. Questions surround exactly how quickly this front leaves or if it stalls over the weekend, keeping rain chances in the forecast on Sunday, albeit lower chances. Rain chances remain low, and temperatures warm into next week, as our heat dome remains apart of the picture through the middle of next week.
