Very hot day

It will be a very hot and humid day today with highs in the low to mid 90's and dewpoints in the 70's. Here is the forecast high temperatures for today:

With these temperatures and dewpoints in the 70's, heat indicies will likely reach greater than 100 degrees.

After this hot and humid day, a weak cold front will be approaching Friday, and with warm humid air out ahead of the front, the stage will be set for some thunderstorms, possibly severe. Highs tomorrow before the front should top out in the mid to upper 80's. The SPC has issued a moderate risk for northeast Missouri, but as you can see in the map below, the main threat lies across Illinois and Indiana pushing into the Ohio river valley.



This will be the last blog for a few days due to me leaving for a trip, I will try to get a blog in tomorrow morning, and maybe 1 in tomorrow afternoon if I can. There for sure will not be a blog Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
