Heat, Humidity Building into the Week Ahead
Hot and humid conditions remain in the Heartland for the end of the weekend. Highs on Sunday are expected to reach the lower 90s under mostly sunny skies.
A quiet run of StormCast for the rest of our Saturday night and into Sunday. A brief spot shower or two is unlikely, though not impossible for Sunday afternoon. Most of us will likely stay dry.
Overnight temperatures will be close to average for late August. We start the day off on Sunday in the middle and upper 60s.
Calm conditions tonight in Cape Girardeau and into the start of the day on Sunday. Overnight lows will fall to the middle 60s.
We turn up the heat in the viewing area on Sunday afternoon as widespread high temperatures above the 90-degree mark are expected.
Humidity will be noticeable once again for Cape alongside above-average temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
Temperatures continue to rise for the start of the work week, reaching the middle and upper 90s across the viewing area on Monday.
Mostly sunny skies continue with little relief from the heat through the overnight hours for the week ahead. Chances for showers and storms are slowly emerging in the forecast by the end of the week, though specific details will likely have to wait until we are a little closer.
