Fuligo septica, also known as “dog vomit slime mold,” is the latest slimy woodland thing to slither into 2020’s wet spring and summer.

With most of Missouri in an Excessive Heat Watch through Saturday evening, the possibility of heat stroke will increase.

A sunny Wednesday leads to a warm Thursday with the potential for thunderstorms during the morning. Friday starts out hot and steamy, but strong thunderstorms roll in during the afternoon and evening. Showers and storms continue through the weekend.

With it now being officially summer you'd think it would be sunshine and hot temperatures. Well, the temperatures may be about the only thing that holds true.

The first day of summer officially hits on Saturday. We'll see cooler temperatures and increased cloud cover today and Saturday with highs in the upper 70's to mid 80's.

Today is expected to be sunny and hot with temperatures near 90. Heat indices will range between 90-95 degrees.

Got yard work? Today is the best day to get those chores done, but you will also have some time tomorrow before storms return. It is still on the warm side both days, so make sure you are staying hydrated and taking some breaks.

There is a slight chance for a few storms to develop this afternoon, but most will stay dry. Storm chances increase for the end of the week, with the best chances north of the Missouri River.

As we enter into the last weekend of Spring, near normal temperatures will prevail through the middle of next week. No precipitation is forecasted at this time for our area through Thursday, June 18.

The one thing I've noticed as I've gotten older, I don't like the cold temperatures as I did when I was younger. So the question is, for you, which do you like best-summer or winter?
