Watching storms to our north on Saturday

Showers and thunderstorms are blossoming across Illinois and could potentially form as far west as eastern Missouri. If that happens, we could see a bit more cloud cover develop up towards Lake of the Ozarks and Rolla. We'll watch the storms closely, but for now I am keeping the forecast dry!

The hottest air of the season moves in

An upper level ridge builds east and we heat up! Temperatures will easily rise into the middle and upper 80s beginning on Saturday and lasting until Tuesday. I'm not expecting record heat at this time.

Active weather will be close by early next week

A cold front approaches from the north on Tuesday causing showers and thunderstorms to develop along and ahead of it. A few of those storms may impact the northern and northwestern half of the viewing area. The best chance for storms is on Wednesday, when the front pushes through.
