What Are Microburst?…See For Yourself!

Microbursts Are Just As Scary As Tornadoes

 Casey Chan — Golf ball-sized hail. Intense, gusting wind smashing the ground and spreading out, pushing everything in its way. Torrential downpour making it impossible to see anything farther than an inch away. My god, microbursts are previews for the apocalypse.

Forecasters say St. Louisans should be prepared for a possibly record-breaking two-day heatwave.

Rising humidity could make temperatures today and Saturday feel like 100 to 105 degrees, forecasters say.

Dangerous heat and humidity will linger Saturday with highs up to 96 or 97 degrees, forecasters say. Such temperatures would approach St. Louis’ record high set for that day in 1911.

Temperatures and dew points should drop by Sunday, dipping highs back to the low 90s.
