Strong Southerly winds continue to stream in warm, Gulf moisture into the Midwest. We started feeling that today. With the temperatures warming into the mid and upper 80s, we are seeing the heat indicies into the middle 90s. Hopefully you are able to find a pool or enjoy the lake with the upcoming forecast that I have for you.
There have been some isolated showers and thunderstorms popping up to the North. Luckily for us, we have a nice cap on the atmosphere over us. I think the isolated showers should hold off throught the night tonight and most of tomorrow as well. It is going to get HOT and humid around here for Friday and Saturday. Heat indicies will be pushing 100 degrees. If you have plans to be outside, make sure that you are staying hydrated and are wearing the sunscreen. It really is a must. By tomorrow, some areas may see the cap erode and the Southern viewing area might see some activity during the day and then up in the Northwest over night. Otherwise the main event looks to occur on Saturday.
Looking at the Storm Prediction Center out of Norman Oklahoma: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/ Day 3 would be Saturday. We are in a slight risk but I honestly think that main threats are going to be over Kansas back into Oklahoma and off to our West in the Ohio River Valley. I am not saying we don't have a chance to see severe weather, but the main threats look to surround us.
The problem is there is not a whole lot of consistency between the models on the timing of the front moving through. We will have a much better idea of this tomorrow, hopefully. Keep your eyes to the sky Mid MO. I will continue to keep you posted!
