Summer won't officially arrive for a couple of weeks, but the heat isn't waiting. Missouri looks to be just days away from triple digit temperatures based on new forecasts and computer models.
There are two things you need to know. First of all, this is not an April Fool's joke. Second, this is also not an official forecast - yet. But, there an experimental model from the forecasters does show a strong possibility that Missouri could see dangerous storm development on Monday, April 1.
West Central Missouri could experience severe spring storms from Tuesday night March 12, 2024 - Thursday March 14, 2024. Hazards could include high winds, hail, and severe thunderstorms.
A cold front will drop temperatures 60 degrees and bring mixed precipitation to Missouri Tuesday night February 27, 2024 and Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
My dad told me that if you don't like the weather in Missouri, just wait 10 minutes. That has never been more true than this week where heat, tornadoes, snow and wildfires are all possible some on back-to-back days.
There's good news and bad news about what many forecasters consider to be a dangerous storm system that will impact Missouri early next week. It is expected to crash Missouri temperatures and cause them to freefall more than 50 degrees in just hours, but that drop won't last long.
