Summer time conditions prevail with chance of storms througout the week

Watching this area for further shower and storm development through the late morning, likely being aided by outflow from storms across central Missouri. Storms will move east and north, affecting areas along I-64 near Washington and northern Perry County over the next hour. Not expecting any severe weather from these, but some heavy rain and gusty winds are possible in these. Storms will be possible area-wide through the day today with increasing chances Monday through Wednesday. (WSIL-TV’ social media post)

I usually use the graphic from the National Weather Service, but this graphic from Channel 3 popped up on Facebook. We could get some showers and thunderstorms in Franklin County.  It might be handy to take an umbrella to church with you.
