Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Odessa, MO

DISCUSSION
Issued at 129 AM CDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Mostly clear skies tonight with temperatures generally still in the 70s across the area. Broad high pressure spans across our region with water vapor satellite imagery showing broad, ridging spanning much of the central CONUS, centered over Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. To our southeast, a trough over the Tennessee River Valley is leading to sporadic diurnal shower and storm activity over much of the southeastern US.

Tuesday, expect similar conditions to today with mostly sunny skies, and seasonably hot weather with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, a degree or two warmer than we saw today. As we go through the week, we watch the ridge morph, interacting with the trough over the Southeast as it slides westward, south of the prominent ridge over the central US. This will morph our pattern into more of a Rex Block- type pattern, pushing the broad High northward and advecting moisture back into the southern two-thirds of Missouri.

As the Low moves westward across the Lower Mississippi Valley into the Southern Plains, we'll see increasing cloud cover initially over southern Missouri with small rain chances creeping into the far southern parts of the forecast area. Though we won't expect any widespread rain, we will see dew points increase, especially on the southern fringes of our area on Wednesday leading to heat indices in the mid-to- upper 90s south of I-70.

Thursday, the moisture spreads northward bringing shower and storm chances (40-60%) back to our area through for the afternoon and evening. While we'll have ample CAPE to allow for storm development, very weak shear will keep any storms that develop disorganized and short-lived. Primary risk with these types of storms will be damaging winds as they collapse, with most staying sub-severe. As we lose daytime heating during the evening, storm chances drop off with no rain expected overnight.

Late Thursday into Friday we'll see the Subtropical Ridge build back up over the Deep South bringing with it the return of the low-level jet over central Texas into southwest Missouri Friday evening. This will start to feed more substantial moisture back into Missouri as well as continue the warming trend with temperatures warming into the low-to-mid 90s on Friday with heat indices in the mid 90s to near 100. Saturday we'll see heat indices warm into the upper 90s to low 100s (nearing 105 in some spots). While rain chances remain slim- to-none on Friday, some guidance brings back the potential for nocturnal storms Friday night into early Saturday as well as Saturday night into early Sunday, depending on the positioning of the low-level jet. Right now ensemble guidance is pessimistic on this potential, so PoPs remain mostly below mentionable through the weekend, but watch this time period for potential changes as we get in better range for these more mesoscale processes.

VFR conditions are expected for a majority of the forecast period. High pressure and light winds breed a chance for some BR/FG around sunrise with chances increasing if radiational cooling exceeds expectations. MVFR VIS impacts are possible with low end chances of IFR conditions, more likely at KSTJ. BR/FG dissipates after sunrise with winds accelerating out of the east- southeast.
