Good evening, everyone! As we wrap up the first weekend of summer in the Ozarks, it’s been a hot and humid few days, but luckily, it has been quiet overall. There are no heat advisories beyond the current one, which expires at 10 PM.
The weather this week will remain warm and sticky, but a change will start to happen on Monday as the upper-level ridge shifts to the east, moving away from the region.
Monday’s Weather Forecast
Expect a mostly clear night with sunny skies on Monday morning. However, the heat and humidity will build up throughout the day, causing partly sunny skies and a few scattered thunderstorms by the afternoon.
These storms will likely be isolated and will fade away by or after sunset. It’s going to be a warm day with highs reaching around 90°F and heat index values climbing into the mid to upper 90s.
Tuesday’s Weather Outlook
Tuesday will follow a similar pattern. After a calm start, we can expect scattered afternoon thunderstorms. These storms will also disappear by sunset, much like Monday’s weather. The temperature will again be near 90°F, and the heat index will likely push into the mid-90s, keeping things humid.
Rest of the Week Forecast
Throughout the week, the weather will stay hot and humid, thanks to the upper-level ridge still influencing the area. Daily afternoon thunderstorms will remain a possibility, although they are expected to be isolated or scattered. There are no major changes in the setup, meaning you can expect the same kind of weather each day.
While these storms won’t cause severe weather, there will still be a chance of some rainfall, with the best chances on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and next Sunday. However, these storms are unlikely to bring severe weather or flooding concerns.
Rain Chances & Temperature
Even with these occasional rain chances, the heat and humidity will not go away. Morning temperatures will remain in the lower 70s, and the afternoon highs will hover near 90°F each day. Heat index values will stay in the mid-90s, making it feel hotter than the actual temperature.
Overall, it’s going to be a hot, humid week with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoons. If you have any outdoor plans, be ready for the heat and the chance of brief storms. While these storms won’t be severe, they can still bring some rain and cloud cover, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the weather.
