While some parts of Missouri, namely the northeast and east, have seen some relief for the seemingly unrelenting heat, the heat will continue for many into the early work week before substantial relief arrives.
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and evening, with best chances toward N and NW Missouri. The primary concern will be for strong and damaging winds. A secondary concern will be for mostly sub-severe (less than quarter size) hail.
