Brief 'Cool Down" Before More Heat

It will be a cooler afternoon today compared to yesterday's 90 degree day. It was also very sticky with a July like airmass in place and dew points in the low 70's. Today, the humidity will lower later in the day with highs in the upper 70's and a north west wind at 5-15 mph. Temperatures will slowly warm into the weekend as we climb into the mid 80's and then the 90's return once again by Sunday.


While we cool things down, it heats up across the central and southern plains. A big ridge is developing and strengthening just west of the Stateline, there are already numerous heat advisories and excessive heat warnings all the way from St. Louis through the plains in Oklahoma, in southwest Iowa and through most of Missouri. Temperatures will climb to about 10-15 degrees above average with heat index values ranging from 100°-110°!

Back in the Stateline despite another heat up, temperatures cool again with another cold front by the middle of next week.
