Isolated showers/storms

Another hot day is in store for us today as our high gets up to around 93 and an overnight low only getting down to around 70. We could see some showers and storms building across mainly the southeastern portions of the state, but it looks like most of the activity will stay off to our east and southeast. We could see some better coverage of showers and storms as we head into tomorrow and Monday, but once again, most of that looks like it will be off to our east and southeast. Expect at least isolated showers and storms anywhere across the area through about next Thursday, but the chances of any one place getting one of these showers is very small. Our chances will gradually increase as we head into the middle of the week as that area of high pressure begins to slowly push off to the east and break down just a little. The big thing, at least for today, is just mainly the heat. With temps in the lower to mid 90's and dewpoints in the lower 70's, our heat indices could climb into the upper 90's, so you definitely want to be sure to drink plenty of water and try your best to stay cool.

On the bigger picture, the Midwest continues to get pounded with severe weather. Yesterday, there were nearly 20 reports of tornadoes mostly across Missouri and Illinois. Today, there is a moderate risk of severe weather for much of the Midwestern states once again.
