Tracking early-week heat and sunshine

Tracking early-week heat and sunshine

By: Jared Shelton

Toasty afternoons and lots of sunshine will continue across Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas from Memorial Day, through mid-week. Scattered rain and thunderstorm chances will return to the forecast late Wednesday, and persist through Friday, eventually promoting a slight cool-off as temperatures fall closer to average for this time of year. Until then, expect daytime highs to reach the mid to upper 80s, with overnight lows in the mid to low 60s.

Tracking late-week t-storm chances

By: Jared Shelton

Periods of sunshine and low 80s Wednesday afternoon will give way to a fair and dry night, with lows in the mid to upper 60s and southeast winds at 10 to 15 mph. A humid airmass will push back into Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas to finish out the work week, helping trigger scattered rain and thunderstorm chances both Thursday and Friday. Between passing t-storms and hot, muggy conditions are expected each day with highs in the mid to upper 80s and a mix of clouds and sunshine. Rain chances will briefly diminish on Saturday, before renewed opportunities for scattered storms return in the extended forecast, along with persistent warmth and afternoon heat.

Scattered t-storms and warm, muggy air will persist across Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas this weekend. Rain chances will range from 30% to 40% Saturday afternoon and evening, with more isolated rain chances overnight and lows near 70 degrees late. Rain and storms will become more numerous on Sunday with highs in the mid 80s and partly to mostly cloudy skies. While locally heavy rainfall is possible with some storms, any threat for severe weather is low at this time.
