Scattered Storms This Afternoon

It's a muggy start again to the morning as temperatures are running in the mid 60s. Thick, persistent low clouds were the culprit and these could hang tough for a couple of more hours. I think skies may be partly cloudy by mid-morning, but clouds should be on the increase again by the late morning hours and into the afternoon as an old convective complex dives to the southeast. The storms across Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas are associated with upper level energy and a quasi-stalled frontal boundary located across Central Missouri. The front will likely be located across Southern Missouri by this evening and we'll contend with waves of upper level energy throughout the day. Therefore, the chance for showers and possibly a thunderstorm is decent this afternoon. Be aware of this if you'll be moving, swimming, or outside for any activities. Similar to yesterday, I think we will be able to top out near 80 this afternoon. It should remain cloudy tonight and the chance for a lingering shower will exist until about 9 p.m. Afterward, we should remain dry, but temperatures will be muggy again overnight. The low tomorrow morning will be near 65.
