Severe Storms Possible This Afternoon/Tonight

Today's Weather Story

Isolated afternoon-evening storms are possible, but the primary severe threat arrives overnight into early Saturday. The strongest storms will bring a potential for up to 2-inch hail and wind gusts to 60 mph. Stay alert and prepare to act if warnings are issued.

Warmer & more humid conditions will usher in periodic, generally low storm chances today into early next week. The exception will be tonight, when greater storm chances may include a few strong to severe storms. Prepare for heat this weekend, with afternoon heat indices in the 90s, approaching 100 degrees near the Missouri River Valley.
