(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) The Salvation army is looking for more coat donations.

Their yearly coat giveaway is in progress, but the demand is going to be much higher than the supply.

By this time last year, the Salvation Army had collected about 1,000 coats to give away.

As of Monday, they're only at about 300.

Donations can still be dropped off at the Salvation Army warehouse at 5th and Messanie.

Coat distribution is Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.

More hot and humid weather on the way for today with highs back in the upper 90s with some areas reaching triple digits. Use caution when spending time outside because heat index values will once again be in the triple digits for many. A cold front will start to approach our area tonight and stall to our north giving us a few chances for showers and thunderstorms overnight, however this activity will not be widespread. Temperatures will still be above average this weekend with highs in the 90s. A few lingering rain chances will continue this weekend, but much of the weekend will be dry. The cold front will move through the area early next week giving us some much cooler temperatures. High will be back down in the upper 70s and lower 80s to start off next week.
