Warm Day!

* It's a warm one out there today! We have made it to 87 so far today, nearing our record high of 88 for this date. I wouldn't be surprised to at least tie or break that record as we are nearing peak heating! Tomorrow looks warm as well as highs are still in the lower 80s before we cool off a bit for Tuesday with highs in the lower 70s.

* There is a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm tonight however I think the best threat stays off to our north and west. Places northwest of the Natchez Trace have the threat for an isolated severe thunderstorm tonight.

* Speaking of severe weather...some explosive development is ongoing in Parts of Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois with more discrete, isolated development to the south. These are probably some of the fastest developing storms I have ever seen! Radars up there went from scan free to lit up like a christmas tree in the matter of about 20 minutes. The main line of storms is moving towards the warm front in eastern Missouri, near St. Louis. This front will provide added low level turning of the winds and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these severe thunderstorm warnings turn into tornado warnings within the next hour or so!

* Enjoy the warm and sunny weather!
