Heat Wave On The Way

The heat is on Mid Missouri! Dew points are going to be climbing into the middle and upper 70s. That will make for some pretty humid weather in addition to those high daytime temperatures. We could potentially see one of the, if not the hottest day of the year tomorrow. This is going to make for some dangerous heat the next couple of days. The entire viewing area is under a heat advisory.

We will have a cold front move though late day Thursdsay into your Friday morning. The clouds will begin to increase and the chances for rain will also into the overnight hours. Some of these storms have the potential to be strong, maybe even severe. The Storm Prediction Center out of Oklahoma does not have us in any kind of risk just yet. They may upgrade it to a slight risk in the near future.

That will help drop temperatures a few degrees for Friday. But the heat and humidity will return for the weekend and looks to continue into next week as well. Check it out on our website http://www.komu.com/KOMU/Images/manual/WXPlus/WSI/5Day_full.jpg . Make sure that you are staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water over the next couple of days. Check on those pets and the elderly as well. If you have to be outdoors, take breaks in the shade and make sure you have the sunscreen on. It will be a scorcher!
