.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1136 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2024

There`s been quite a bit of cloud cover around this morning thanks
to yesterday`s Midwest MCS. An outflow boundary moved from north
to south this morning through the CWA with showers and storms
developing along and south of that boundary now from Perry to
Warren County. I will let the Heat Advisory limp along but it may
be a struggle reaching criteria for most of the area. Visible
satellite does show the cirrus thinning from north to south, so a
couple locations could get to 95-98 degrees and with dew points in
the low to mid 70s, the heat index value could touch 105.

One thing we`ll need to watch this afternoon is for storm
development along the stationary boundary that is over eastern
Missouri into southern Indiana. Some storms could develop along
that and move south and eastward toward our northwestern
counties. The CAMS have been inconsistent in the development and
movement of this activity. If storms do develop and make a run for
our area, there will be ample CAPE available and the storms could
pose a damaging wind threat.

There should be a break in activity overnight before more storms
develop on Wednesday with a surface front draped over the area.
Shear will still be on the weak side on Wednesday but once again,
there will be ample instability. A couple storms may produce gusty
winds.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1136 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2024

The surface boundary will linger around the area on Thursday
continuing the storms chances across the area. The front will push
far enough south Thursday night to bring an end to the storm
chances for a day. Friday looks like the nicest day of the
forecast with highs in the 80s and dew points in the low to mid
60s. There is a chance of an afternoon shower or storm Friday
afternoon but that will be confined along the southern plateau.
The front will creep back northwest on Saturday into Sunday
bringing back rain chances. Those scattered storm chances continue
into next week. Hopefully, most of the area can pick up an inch
or two through the next seven days to help put a small dent in
this flash drought. As far as temperatures, once we get past this
afternoon, high temperatures will be in the upper 80s to perhaps
to lower 90s.
