First Alert: Warm, very dry first day of meteorological summer

(KFVS) - We are kicking off June with some pretty warm temperatures.

Madeline Parker says temperatures are going to get up to the high 80s today, and thanks to some afternoon heating, we might see some isolated showers in southeast Missouri.

There could also be some potential thunder or lightning with the isolated showers; however, there’s only a 20% chance for rain. Showers will start to diminish tonight, leaving us with partly cloudy skies and dry conditions, and lows dipping into the upper 60s.

Friday looks very similar to today, with temperatures starting off in the mid to high 60s in the morning and warming up to the high 80s. There is a slim chance for a few isolated showers in the afternoon but overall it will be dry. The evening will be pleasant for any outdoor activities with temperatures getting into the mid 60s.

The weekend looks to be warmer with highs in the mid-90s, but thanks to some drier air moving in, should be less humid.

Temperatures should cool off slightly down to low 90s for the beginning of the work week. However, it’s looking to be very dry for a while, as there are very little chances of rain for the next week.
