The main questions this week are: how hot and whether storms will pop up? The heat will build in slowly this week so that nineties will be common beginning on Thursday. The flow of air aloft is still out of the northwest which is slowing the heat down a bit and may also produce a very isolated shower or storm any day this week.
By Friday, a front drops into northern Missouri, close enough to organize storms perhaps a bit better. Over the weekend, a "backdoor" cool front (from the northeast) will be in Missouri as well. All of this means scattered storms are possible and high temperatures may stay more reasonable through this period.
