Tracking strong to severe storms Sunday evening
Saturday has been another hot and humid day across the St. Joseph area. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as we can expect some relief from the heat and humidity at the start of the workweek.
Sunday is expected to be an active weather day. We'll begin with conditions very similar to today—hot, humid, and with temperatures quickly climbing into the mid-90s. There's a chance for a few spotty showers in the morning, but they'll likely move through quickly and won't be the main concern. In the evening, a low-pressure system approaching from the northwest will bring a more organized and potentially severe line of storms to northwestern Missouri. The National Weather Service has placed our area under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather Sunday night. The primary threats will be strong straight-line winds and heavy rainfall, which could pose problems as many streams and rivers are already swollen from previous rain events earlier in the week.
These storms are expected to taper off by early Monday morning. Behind the system, conditions will improve, with cooler temperatures and noticeably lower humidity. Monday will feel much more comfortable, and this refreshing trend will continue throughout the workweek. Highs will generally stay in the mid to upper 80s, and the forecast looks mostly dry.
As we head into the holiday weekend, temperatures will gradually climb back into the 90s by Friday, the Fourth of July. While the weather is expected to remain dry through Friday, there is currently a slight 10% chance of rain on Saturday.

Hurricane center keeps eyes on tropical system that could target Florida while Tropical Storm Barry strikes Mexico
Tropical Storm Barry disintegrated after striking Mexico early Monday morning while the National Hurricane Center continued to forecast the season's next tropical depression or storm could form off the coast of Florida later this week. In its 8 a.m. tropical outlook, the NHC said an area of low pressure could develop off either the southeast U.S. coast, over Florida or over the eastern Gulf as a frontal boundary is forecast to stall and weaken coming from the north. Its bubble of potential development sweeps across all of Central Florida. "Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low moves little," forecasters said. The NHC gave it a 20% chance for development in the next seven days. The National Weather Service in Melbourne said to expect a high chance of rain no matter what forms around the Fourth of July and into that weekend. "Unsettled conditions with high rain chances expected to continue into the extended forecast range as the stalled front accompanied by copious moisture sags into the southeast and towards Florida," forecasters said. "Heavy rainfall will be the primary concern regardless of development. Multiple rounds of showers and storms will be possible each day, increasing/compounding concerns for flooding." If it were to develop into a named storm, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal, the third named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The second only formed Sunday morning in the Bay of Campeche off of the Mexican coast, but lasted less than a day. Tropical Storm Barry made landfall after midnight Monday having grown some in strength with sustained winds of 45 mph. By 5 a.m., though, the remnants of Barry were located about 100 miles northwest of Tampico, Mexico with winds of 30 mph as it moved northwest at 12 mph. The system was still expected to drop 3-5 inches of rain with some areas getting as much as 10 inches across portions of the Mexican states of San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas through today. "This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain," the NHC stated. The slow start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season did not see the first named storm form - Tropical Storm Andrea - last week, out in the middle the Atlantic where it spun for less than a day with no threat to land. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though, still forecasts 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those would grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. ----------- Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Expect thunderstorms early this week. A look at Fourth of July week forecast
The afternoon of June 30 could see intense thunderstorms, which could cause damaging winds (between 50 to 60 mph) and flash flooding across central Indiana. No flash flood warnings are in effect, said meteorologist Mike Ryan. He encouraged anyone out between the afternoon and evening to be prepared for heavy rain and lightning. Despite rain early in the week, your Fourth of July cookout should be (mostly) dry. Intense storms, then cooler temperatures, are expected from June 30 through July 6, following last week's eight days of 90 degrees or higher – something the National Weather Service said it hasn't seen since 2012. Conditions should dry up and cool down between July 1 through July 3, he said, as highs are expected in the mid-80s. Some thunderstorms are possible from July 4 to July 6 as temperatures are expected to rise. The weather on Friday seems typical for a Fourth of July and most people should stay dry, according to the National Weather Service. "I wouldn't cancel any plans for Friday," Ryan said. Temperatures will be close to 90 until July 6. Those outside on Friday should wear light-colored clothes and step inside every now and then, Ryan said. 🚨 Indiana Weather Alerts: Warnings, Watches and Advisories. ⚡ Indiana power outage map: How to check your status. 💻 Internet outages: How to track them. 🚫 What you should and shouldn't do when the power is out. 🐶 Your neighbor left their pet outside.
