Tracking steamy and stormy days ahead
A hot, humid, and mainly dry Wednesday evening will give way to scattered t-storms Thursday, as a brief break from the rainfall is followed up by a more active pattern. While a stray t-storm is possible across Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas Wednesday evening, most will remain dry with upper 80s and low 90s early, followed by a cool-off to the 70s after sunset. Partly sunny and dry conditions early Thursday will be preceded by a 60% chance of scattered t-storms after 1 pm. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail will be possible with any storms that develop Thursday. Between thunderstorm activity, heat and humidity will build Thursday, with afternoon highs near 90 degrees and heat indices in the upper 90s. Heavy rainfall across parts of Northwest Missouri Monday and Tuesday has left residual river flooding in a handful of local waterways.

'Extremely Dangerous' Storm Could Hit 4 U.S. States Tonight
'Extremely Dangerous' Storm Could Hit 4 U.S. States Tonight originally appeared on The Spun. An "extremely dangerous" storm featuring "downburst/microburst" events could hit up to four U.S. states on Wednesday evening. The National Weather Service is warning of severe weather in part of the country on Wednesday night, June 25. Extreme storms, featuring up to 75 MPH wind gusts, could produce some brief thunderstorms or possible tornadoes. However, it's the significant wind gusts that are most dangerous. "From first glance, it looks like temperatures around 100°, with dews in the 50s-60s wouldn't support robust thunderstorms, and by no means will these storms be very long-lived or even tornadic, they will be single-cell in nature," the alert states. "However, strong CAPE aloft and the presence of moderate upper-level shear will support the development of scattered thunderstorms, and with extreme Lapse Rates & low-level mixing, this will promote very robust downdrafts, with severe winds expected." Four U.S. states are at risk of getting hit hard: North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Tennessee "We're not just expecting a couple of isolated strong-severe downbursts, but scattered to widespread instances of severe microbursts. These storms could produce winds up to 75mph, potentially stronger, in the more robust downburst events," the alert added. As a reminder, here's what to do when severe weather hits: Stay Weather Ready: Continue to listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay updated about severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. At Your House: Go to your secure location if you hear a severe thunderstorm warning. Damaging wind or large hail may be approaching. Take your pets with you if time allows. At Your Workplace or School: Stay away from windows if you are in a severe thunderstorm warning and damaging wind or large hail is approaching. Do not go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums or auditoriums. Outside: Go inside a sturdy building immediately if severe thunderstorms are approaching. Sheds and storage facilities are not safe. Taking shelter under a tree can be deadly. The tree may fall on you. Standing under a tree also put you at a greater risk of getting struck by lightning. In a Vehicle: Being in a vehicle during severe thunderstorms is safer than being outside; however, drive to closest secure shelter if there is sufficient time. Stay safe tonight.
