Tracking scattered t-storms, summer heat

Widely scattered thunderstorms will continue to fire across parts of Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas Saturday afternoon and evening, as a front passes through the region. A few storms may produce gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail. Partly cloudy skies, and a 40% chance of t-storms will linger into the overnight hours, with mid 80s before sunset giving way to lows in the mid to lower 70s. Breezy southwest winds at 10-15 mph will become light after midnight. Rain and thunderstorm chances will fall to around 20% Sunday and Monday, with seasonably hot temperatures lingering as highs remain in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. Several more opportunities for thunderstorm activity are expected to build into the area by the middle of next week, as an active pattern returns to the region.

Tropical Storm Chantal forecast to bring heavy rain to the Carolinas

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Chantal formed off the southeast U.S. coast and was forecast to bring heavy rains to parts of the Carolinas on Saturday. Tropical storm warnings were issued for portions of the two states, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The storm's center was located about 80 miles (125 kilometers) east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, on Saturday night, and 140 miles (225 kilometers) south-southwest of Wilmington, North Carolina. Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 45 mph (75 kph), and it was moving north at 7 mph (11 kph). Rain bands from Chantal were moving over the coast, the hurricane center said, and the storm's center was expected to move over South Carolina overnight or early Sunday. Some slight strengthening was expected, followed by rapid weakening after landfall. Heavy rain was forecast for the coastal plain of the Carolinas through Monday — total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters), with local amounts up to 6 inches — threatening flash flooding.
