Good evening! I've received some emails about the comments section of the blog, it will remain off until Saturday when Gary blogs.
Let's dig in and talk some weather! I glanced at the Springfield, MO radar and noticed a nice outflow from a tiny shower/t-storm in that area. This storm must have been almost stationary to have a nice outflow in an oval shape around the cell.
The weekend will see two different airmasses across the region. Saturday will be hot and humid, while Sunday will be cooler and less humid. For Saturday highs will be in the 90s for a 7th straight day, but a cold front could bring a few showers and thunderstorms to the region by mid to late afternoon. The chance is 30% right now, but any storm that forms could be strong to severe.
Behind this cold front highs will drop into the low to mid 80s for Sunday, and dew points to close the weekend may be in the 50s! Look at the NAM forecast map...'Free Air Conditioning' is on the way!
Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by the Action Weather Blog!
