Rain chances and our humidity levels are going up in the coming days. It won't be a washout for Father's Day weekend, but we'll have to contend with some showers and storms from time to time.

Wednesday, June 11 forecast: Heavy downpours to soak some areas through Friday
Early summer heat & humidity came with more of a summer sky as well as clouds bubble up into isolated downpours. The rain was isolated today, but it will become much more widespread over the next couple of days. Download our KOLR 10 weather app A slow-moving stormy system will swirl north out of Oklahoma and Texas through Thursday. Isolated evening downpours will give way to mostly cloudy skies and peek-a-boo moonshine. As the storm approaches, light rain on the leading edge of the storm will spread in from the south as we approach sunrise. This will make for some wet roads as we start Thursday, mainly over Southwest Missouri into Northern Arkansas. Most of this rain looks very light. That wave will fade Thursday morning with some peeks of sun possible. Temperatures will climb through the 70s with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms flaring up heading through the afternoon. Locally heavy rain will be possible along with a few lightning strikes. Thursday night into Friday, the core of the storm will move through. Pockets of heavy rain and embedded thunder will remain possible through the period. There will be just enough instability and wind energy to keep an eye out for an isolated severe weather risk. Heavy rain will be the biggest concern, though. The slow movement of areas of rain, which could be heavy, will lead to a risk of locally heavy rainfall totals and flooding risk. The slow-moving system will move out on Saturday. Rain chances over the weekend, especially Saturday, look much lower with many areas remaining dry. Sunnier skies will also bring early summer heat back to the area. A more summer-like look to the pattern will be taking hold as we move into the following week. We can expect some pop-up showers and thunderstorms most days, but most areas will remain dry. Temperatures will creep higher at night and during the day. 90° will likely remain just out of reach for most areas, but we'll be getting close. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
