JOE:
GOOD MORNING, THANKS FOR JOINING
US FOR DAYBREAK IN 10 ON KOLR
10.
LAUREN:
WE'LL BE ON THE AIR
COMMERCIAL-FREE FOR 10 STRAIGHT
MINUTES BEGINNING RIGHT NOW.
FIRST, LET'S HEAD OVER TO
METEOROLOGIST ELISA RAFFA WITH
YOUR FORECAST FIRST.
ELISA
EXPECT ANOTHER DAY WITH SPOTTY
STORM CHANCES
AS OUR UNSETTLED PATTERN
CONTINUES. WE'LL SPEND MOST OF
TODAY DRY, MOSTLY SUNNY TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL GIVE WAY TO
A VERY WARM, HUMID FEELS. HIGHS
SOAR
INTO THE UPPER 80'S WITH DEW
POINTS APPROACHING 70 DEGREES
WILL HAVE IT FEELING LIKE
SUMMER.
A FRONT DIPS IN FROM THE NORTH
TODAY,
GENERATING A FEW SHOWERS/ STORMS
AFTER 4 PM. THE STORMS THIS
EVENING WILL BE SHORT-
LIVED, BUT THE WARM, HUMID AIR
MASS COULD FUEL A STORM OR TWO
WITH DAMAGING WINDS,
LARGE HAIL, AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN. A MARGINAL SEVERE RISK IS
POSTED NORTH OF I-44 FOR THAT
RISK.
ONCE THE SUN SETS THE SEVERE
RISK WILL DWINDLE,
A STORM OR TWO COULD LINGER
OVERNIGHT. LOWS STAY WARM IN THE
UPPER 60'S.
TOMORROW THE BIG, UPPER-LEVEL
LOW THAT
HAS KEPT US UNSETTLED MAKES IT
WAY TOWARDS THE OZARKS. THIS LOW
IS DETACHED FROM THE JET
STREAM, OR THAT HIGHWAY THAT
PUSHES STORMS ALONG. THEREFORE,
THIS STORM WILL BE SLOW!
EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/
THUNDER
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY
AS THIS STORM SLOWLY MOVES EAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE
COOLER WITH EXTENDED CLOUD COVER
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70'S
EACH OF THOSE DAYS.
THE CENTER OF THE LOW WILL TRACK
TO OUR SOUTH,
NOT CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE WEATHER.
HOWEVER, IT WILL CONTINUE TO
KEEP A VERY MOIST, SATURATED
AIR MASS IN THE OZARKS, POSING
THE THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN. ANOTHER 1-3" OF RAIN IS
EXPECTED ON ALREADY SATURATED
SOILS. FLOODING COULD BE A
THREAT GOING THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.
THE STORMS FINALLY EXITS EAST ON
SUNDAY WITH A
FEW STORMS LINGERING MAINLY FOR
THE EASTERN OZARKS. HIGH
PRESSURE TAKES OVER ON MONDAY
AND
TUESDAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
AND MORE CRISP UPPER 70'S.
LAUREN
IN EDUCATION COVERAGE

PERCENT OR FREE LUNCH

free to everybody."
