A brief spin-up tornado and large hail cannot be ruled out this evening, though damaging winds will be the primary concern in the strongest storms tonight.

Storm chances will ramp up after dinner, starting to our west. Here is how the radar could look through this evening, according to the latest run of StormCast.

Forecast:

After our storm chances subside, Thursday morning will feature seasonal temperatures with lingering cloud cover.

We will have to keep an eye on the radar for any Monday evening plans in Cape Girardeau, though Thursday morning will see minimal impacts.

Temperatures will be close to average on Thursday afternoon as we trade the morning cloud cover for mostly sunny skies.

There is a small chance for a brief storm on Thursday afternoon, though we will likely stay dry in Cape. Highs tomorrow will be close to, if not slightly below, average.

Seasonal temperatures continue through the extended forecast, with highs in the middle and upper 80s. Chances for showers and thunderstorms return this weekend through early next week.
