Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Sep 19 2017

Synoptic warm front will slowly move across the area through
tomorrow morning with a light southeast wind becoming southwest.
This favorable wind direction, coupled with increasing heights
should send temperatures into the lower to middle 90s tomorrow
afternoon. A weak cold front will try to enter the far northern
stretches of the CWA by afternon, with an associated slight
chance of showers and thunderstorms. Believe best threat of
rainfall will hold off until Wednesday evening and overnight for
these location.

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday Night through Next Tuesday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Sep 19 2017

Heat and humidity will continue through at least Friday as an
impressive upper level ridge builds overhead. Each day
temperatures are expected to top out in the lower to middle 90s
and afternoon heat index values will be near 100 degrees. The
threat of thunderstorms should be confined to Wednesday night and
Thursday morning across northeast Missouri as a cold front
attempts to move into the CWA. Otherwise, dry conditions are
expected into the weekned for the majority of the CWA.

The upper level ridge will slowly begin to shift east by the end
of the weekend with temperatures returning closer to average next
week with at least a chance of some precipitation.
