Firecracker Hot With Heating Thunderstorms





As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July mother nature has dished up her own fireworks in the sky. The first part of the show started Monday with highs reaching the 100's again for much of the area. During the late afternoon and evening SEVERE storms moved across parts of Northeast Missouri and West Central Illinois causing tree damage and a 5th Wheel to be overturned. Heavy rains pounded parts of Lewis, Marion, and Adams Counties.

This trend is only just beginning. Excessively hot temperatures are expected through Sunday with daytime heating storms possible through the period with a possible end to the wicked heat Sunday night and Monday in the form of showers and thunderstorms which again could be SEVERE.
