Heat Continues Into the Weekend

Low Chance for Severe Storms Through Saturday

Dangerous heat and humidity will continue for most locations through at least Saturday. A cold front will slowly move through the area Sunday/Sunday night. There are timing differences with this front, so exact high temperatures and heat index values are less certain Sunday. By Monday, look for more typical mid August temperatures and humidity levels behind the front.

A stalled cold front will continue to serve as the focus for additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. Much of this focus will be across Iowa and northern Illinois, but a few storms may clip parts of northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois this evening and/or Saturday. Damaging winds are the main threat in addition to very heavy downpours if these storms impact our region.
