Two areas of storms this morning, neither one moving this way. The Missouri storms are heading to the southeast. The Illinois storms will stay well to the north. We may see a pop up storm this afternoon. Most areas will stay dry.
Heat advisories are in effect for Oklahoma and Texas. Locally, our dew points are up 10 degrees since Wed.
Afternoon temps around 90 with a heat index in the lower to mid 90s. Tomorrow may go lower 90s.
No upper 90s that were in some internet forecasts earlier this week.
We are in a 30% risk for severe for Saturday. Originally it looked like the front would stall over our area and give us a storm chance into Monday. Now it is forecast to shift south so our main rain chance will be late Saturday into early Sunday.
SPC says: VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...EVIDENCE OF DRY MID-LVL AIR IN FCST SOUNDINGS AND UNIDIRECTIONAL WNWLY FLOW REGIME ABOVE H7 ARE SUGGESTIVE OF A BOW ECHO ENVIRONMENT WITH DMGG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL LIKELY. ACTIVITY COULD PERSIST WELL INTO SATURDAY NIGHT INTO PARTS OF NWRN KY/SRN IND.
