HEADLINE: Thunderstorms will come to an end on Saturday night leaving us with partly cloudy skies on Sunday - lower temperatures and lower humidity levels. We can thank the cold front for the above changes! I doubt many people will be complaining about the temperature drop.
.
The next chance for thunderstorms will arrive late Sunday night and on/off thunderstorm chances will continue into the work week. The Storm Prediction Center believes a few of these storms could produce damaging winds on Monday. Large hail and isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out.
.
.
Temperatures over the next few days will be near normal. This will be in contrast to the much above normal temperatures we experienced over the last two weeks.
...
Storms on Saturday caused some damage in the region - large hail and high winds were reported over parts of southern Illinois and southeast Missouri. Qulin, Missouri had a school with its roof blown off. You can read more about the storm damage by clicking here..

The forecast for severe or extreme weather risk for the next 72 hours...
.
For the most up to date severe weather outlooks - click here.Sunday: Severe weather is not anticipated at this time.
.
Sunday night: Severe weather is not anticipated at this time. We will monitor the potential for some storms late Sunday night - they would move in from the northwest and head southeast. Still a bit uncertain on the location or placement of this complex of storms - if it forms. Right now we believe the most significant risk for any storms would be over the western counties - southeast Missouri region. Will need to update.
.
Monday: A few thunderstorms will be possible. A few of the storms may produce severe weather - high winds and hail being the main threat. Will monitor and update accordingly.
.
Monday Night: Thunderstorms will be possible - some of the storms could be severe with high winds and hail.
.
Tuesday: A few thunderstorms will be possible. Uncertain about the severe potential. Check back.
.
Here is the official severe weather outlook graphic for Monday - from the Storm Prediction Center - remember they are the ones that issue the official outlooks for severe weather. They have our region in a "risk" for severe storms - meaning storms that could produce winds greater than 58 mph - hail to the size of quarters or larger and tornadoes..

Let's also take a look (the map below) at the expected heat index for tomorrow afternoon. Remember - the heat index is what the temperature feels like to your body when the temperature and humidity are combined.

Not too bad for Sunday - the heat index will not be an issue! Thanks to the cold front that has moved through the area.

How much above or below normal will high temperatures be tomorrow?

The map below shows you the departure from normal highs (normal highs are around 79-82 degrees). For example if the normal high is 80 degrees and the actual high is 90 degrees then we would be 10 degrees above normal. You can find this map on the web-site, as well - click here.

1. Temperatures will not be nearly as warm on Sunday into the beginning of the week - we can thank a cold front for this change in the weather pattern. Temperatures most of next week will be in the 80s - let's keep in mind that we are entering summer - although the recent warm temperatures have been a bit unusual they are not uncommon in our area. I consider extreme heat to be 100+ and we have yet to see widespread extreme heat in our counties. The long range outlook continues to indicate that average temperatures during the summer months will end up below normal.
2. The long range appears a bit more active with several northwest flow events showing up in the charts. This means that we may see a bit more rain/thunderstorms than we have been used to over the last couple of weeks. I don't think anyone will complain about some rain chances? We will need to monitor these events for the possibility of severe storms - this time of the year it is not uncommon to have storm systems produce high winds and/or hail reports. Often times these storms move in from the northwest and travel southeast.
.
3. The complex of storms next week could produce locally heavy rain in some counties. It appears on/off chances for storms will last into the middle/end of the week. We will need to tweak the forecast each day as we determine the exact placement of storms..
