.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

Issued at 308 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

Skies are mostly clear tonight with light southerly winds in place.
Pressure gradient begins to tighten ahead of an incoming low
pressure system. Today will stay mostly dry but will be hot! Expect
heat indices in the upper 90s to lower 100s across the area today
with sunny skies. Tonight will be warm again with lows in the 70s
and breezy southerly winds once again.

Saturday still looks rainy for most of the area as the low pressure
system makes its way into the state. This trough will take its time
through the weekend bringing several rounds of showers and
thunderstorms that will form along the cold front as it stalls over
us. SPC has most of southern MO in a Marginal risk for severe
weather (1/5) with the main risks being damaging wind gusts up to 60
mph and hail up to quarter-sized. With WPC outlining far southwest
MO in a Slight risk for excessive rainfall (2/4), we can expect
these thunderstorms to produce heavy rainfall as well. The
atmosphere will have sufficient moisture content (PWATs of 1.5-2.0")
and if storms keep reforming off the boundary and train over the
same areas, this could lead to nuisance and street flooding through
the weekend. If spending time outdoors over the next couple of days,
be sure to keep up with the latest forecast.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Issued at 308 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

Sunday morning will be similar to Saturday as the front will
still be over the area. SPC has a Marginal risk for severe
weather (1/5) for Sunday as well with strong to marginally
severe thunderstorms expected for most of the morning. Again,
these storms have the potential to drop heavy rainfall. The
front will move east by Sunday evening and the rain will
dissipate. Next week will feature daily afternoon thunderstorm
chances (20-40%) with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
