🌩 Midweek Storm Watch

Tuesday and Wednesday bring humidity-fueled thunderstorms, some of which could turn severe. Especially during Wednesday night, storms may unleash heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, and large hail. Tornado threats are lower but possible. Metro areas like Kansas City and St. Louis fall under “First Alert Weather Day” zones—stay weather-ready with up-to-date alerts and a solid plan in place. Storm clusters may carry rainfall up to 1–3 inches, raising flash flood risks in low-lying or poorly drained regions.

🔥 Weekend Heatwave Approaches

Once storms pass, temperatures will skyrocket. Thursday offers a preview of the heat ahead with highs climbing into the low 90s°F. But it’s the weekend that brings the real surge: Friday to Sunday temperatures will soar into the mid-90s, possibly topping out near 96°F. Heat indices could approach 105°F, posing health threats like heat exhaustion and dehydration, especially during midday outdoor activities.
