The Lakes Region should see a warm and mostly day, according to the National Weather Service in Springfield.
A few isolated or scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop. Forecasters said most locations are likely to remain dry, so rainfall coverage should be limited.
Temperatures are expected to climb further during the weekend. Highs across the Missouri Ozarks are forecast to reach the lower and middle 90s as a warmer air mass settles over the region.
Humidity will make conditions feel hotter than the measured air temperature. The National Weather Service said weekend heat-index values may rise into the middle 90s or approach 100 degrees.
People working outdoors or visiting Branson attractions should drink water regularly and take breaks in air-conditioned or shaded locations. Children, older adults and pets should never be left inside parked vehicles.
Boaters and outdoor-event organizers should still monitor radar for isolated storms. Lightning can become dangerous even when widespread severe weather is not expected.
