Heavy rain is possible on and off through Friday into the weekend with a few chances for some severe weather each day.

With several rounds of heavy rainfall possible through the weekend, flash flooding will be a concern. A Flood Watch remains in place until 1 a.m. CDT on Sunday, July 12.

Above is a look at our StormCast model’s precipitation potential through the weekend. Those who fall directly under multiple storms could see several inches of rainfall in the coming days.

Forecast:

As for temperatures, Thursday night into Friday morning is expected to be mild, with lows in the 70s across the viewing area.

Storm chances remain in place for the Cape Girardeau area through the overnight, though cloud cover should help keep temperatures on the warm side.

Highs on Friday will range from the upper 80s to the lower 90s. Those who see more overcast skies due to afternoon showers and thunderstorms will likely see the cooler temperatures.

Thursday evening’s storm chances will likely be clearing out of Cape shortly before the morning commute, with another round of storms possible on Friday afternoon and evening.

Temperatures remain in the 80s for the majority of the extended forecast with almost daily storm chances. The middle of next week looks to bring dry conditions, followed by temperatures climbing to the lower 90s.
