Slight chance of showers, thunderstorms for the weekend

Chances for showers and thunderstorms have ramped up a bit west of the Mississppi River tonight, and will continue into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

High clouds during the day on Friday will give way to showers later, peaking Friday night into Saturday.

Meteorologists are monitoring the potential for a few severe storms this evening, primarily across southeast Missouri and possibly far southwest Illinois from 8 p.m. to midnight. Damaging winds are the primary hazard, although a tornado or two can't be ruled out. 

A lower end threat may exist further into southern Illinois and far western Kentucky, but any storms should be weakening by then. It would likely will be after midnight before they reach there.

On Saturday afternoon, a small chance of some storm activity could occur well east of the lakes toward central Kentucky.

Daily chances of mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms may continue Sunday into the middle of next week.

After a high near 90 on Friday, temperatures will slide a bit to 86 on Saturday and 83 on Sunday. A gradual warming trend is expected next week.
