FORECAST:
It's a warm and muggy start to our weekend with a few showers pushing through the mountains.
It's going to be a hot and mostly dry day overall with temperatures climbing near 90 degrees. Factor in the humidity and it feels more like the mid-90s!
We'll keep the chance for a hit or miss storm in the forecast with the heating of the day.
A storm complex moving in from the west could also impact our area tonight and bring a chance for a strong to severe storm. However, the risk is low as many models have this activity diving south of I-85.
Overall, it's a low risk for storms today, but anything we do see could be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts our highest concern.
It's a similar story on Sunday with high heat, humidity, and an isolated strong to severe storm with the heating of the day.
This summer-like pattern continues for much of next week as well.

Tracking scattered rain chances Sunday evening
We had a very wet start to our Saturday, with the St. Joseph airport recording 1.14 inches of rain. The rain cleared quickly, leaving behind sunny skies. Conditions this evening are expected to remain dry and seasonable, with temperatures climbing into the mid 70s before sunset. Overnight, skies will stay clear and dry as temperatures drop into the low 60s. Looking ahead to Sunday, we'll start the day dry. However, there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms by late afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center's latest outlook shows a tight gradient south of Highway 36, with Level 1 and Level 2 severe weather risks in that area. The primary threats include large hail and damaging winds, especially near Kansas City and east of Interstate 35. While storms are expected to strengthen as they move south, the risk for the St. Joseph area remains low, but not zero. Rainfall is not expected to be as intense as Saturday's. After Sunday's rain chances, conditions will dry out, and temperatures will climb midweek into the mid to upper 80s, potentially reaching near 90 degrees by Wednesday. Our next weather system is expected to affect the region Thursday into Friday. Stay up to date with the Storm Tracker Weather Team for the latest forecasts and alerts.

This warning applies to Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Pickens and Spartanburg counties. Meteorologists warn of winds as strong as 60 mph. Use caution, officials warn of hail as large as 0.75 inches. The NWS warns: "For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. Please report damaging winds, hail, or flooding to the National Weather Service by calling toll free, 1-800-267-8101, or by posting on our Facebook page, or Tweet it using hashtag nwsgsp. Your message should describe the event and the specific location where it occurred." At 7:42 p.m., the NWS issued a statement: "The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for: Northwestern Laurens County in Upstate South Carolina, Greenville County in Upstate South Carolina, Western Spartanburg County in Upstate South Carolina, Northeastern Anderson County in Upstate South Carolina, Pickens County in Upstate South Carolina, Until 8:30 p.m. EDT. At 7:42 p.m. EDT, severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from 7 miles northwest of Pickens to 8 miles southeast of Anderson, moving northeast at 45 mph. HAZARD: 60 mph wind gusts. SOURCE: Radar indicated. IMPACT: Expect damage to trees and power lines.

A severe thunderstorm warning means the area is experiencing or is about to experience a storm with winds of 58 mph or higher or hail an inch in diameter or larger. Once in a shelter, stay away from windows and avoid electrical equipment and plumbing. Keep a battery-powered weather radio nearby in case of loss of power. Remember to bring pets inside. If there is time, secure loose objects outside as these objects often become dangerous flying debris in high winds. Postpone outdoor activities until the storms have passed.
