It's going to be hot next week!

 Expect high temperatures to be in the 90's all of next week.

Long Term...(Sunday night through Friday)

Issued at 250 AM EDT Sat Aug 7 2021

The brief dry period that is expected for late this weekend will
come to an end Sunday night into Monday as weak upper level ridge
exits the area and a trough enters from the west.  Latest model
guidance has been trending towards a stronger trough compared to
previous runs with even some hints that it could close over
central Missouri. With this strengthening, the wind field from 850mb
to 500mb has gotten significantly stronger which could spell strong
to severe thunderstorms early next week.  The surface low looks to
stay north of the forecast area which would keep the strongest
storms north as well, but any changes in the track could lead to
heavy rain and strong to severe thunderstorms.  Best chances for
precipitation from this system looks to be Monday evening into
Tuesday.  Small chances for rain continue through Wednesday with
diurnally driven convection possible at times.

In addition to the rain chances, heat will be a concern for much of
the work week with expected high temperatures in the low 90s across
the forecast area.  Surface dew points will be highest across the
western counties where heat indices may reach into the low 100s
assuming there isn`t any cooling caused by precipitation.  Heat
headlines may be needed, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday across
the western portions of the state where surface temperatures look to
be highest.

Later in the week, a stronger low pressure system looks to move
through Southern Canada with a weak cold front stretching perhaps as
far south as Indiana.  Other than slightly better chances for
precipitation, no significant impacts from the system are currently
expected.
