WEATHER FORECAST

The extreme heat and humidity today has prompted the National Weather Service to continue and Excessive Heat Warning
through 8 PM. Temperatures had a slow start thanks to clouds and showers this morning, but have started to climb quickly this afternoon. This will more than likely be our 9th day this year with temperatures of 90 degrees or warmer. The high heat is also having an effect on the amount of instability in the air. When it starts getting warm in the upper levels of the atmosphere, it becomes more and more difficult for thunderstorms to develop. The atmosphere becomes “capped” until a cool front or other boundary can act as a focus for thunderstorm development. There is a weak cool front out to our west in the eastern Dakotas, and that should be enough of a trigger for strong thunderstorms late tonight. Right now it looks as though any storms that do develop will have the capability of producing large hail and damaging winds.
