Tracking holiday weekend heat, t-storm chances
Seasonably hot and humid conditions will remain across Northwest Missouri Northeast Kansas through Independence Day weekend, with increasing chances for scattered t-storms by Saturday. A mainly dry and toasty Fourth of July will give way to a warm and muggy night. Stray t-storm chances at 10% to 20%, and partly cloudy skies continue through the evening hours with afternoon 90s giving way to low 80s and upper 70s late. Heat indices will top out in the mid to upper 90s early, before settling into the 80s after sunset Friday. Periods of increased cloud coverage, and scattered t-storm activity are likely by Saturday morning, with a 60% chance of showers and t-storms through the day and afternoon highs near 90 degrees. Humid air will once again allow heat indices to rise into the mid to upper 90s during the hottest hours of Saturday. Rain and t-storm chances will become more isolated Sunday, and periods of sunshine will promote another afternoon of upper 80s and low 90s.Â
