Tracking increasing rain chances and a cooler end to the weekend

TODAY: Friday is a cloudier day, starting with filtered sunshine, and progressing to overcast skies throughout the day, so you may want your sunglasses early. We'll likely stay dry today, until after the dinner hour, near 8 to 10 o'clock tonight. Temperatures will reach near 60, thanks to a south wind that will pull in warmth and moisture.

TONIGHT: We'll see light showers begin in mid-Missouri, ahead of a low pressure system that will pass directly overhead on Saturday. Once showers begin, they will continue in a scattered and intermittent fashion, keeping temperatures steadily in the 40s overnight.

EXTENDED: Rain continues through the day on Saturday. Totals are expected to range from the quarter inch to 4 tenths of an inch range, with some locally getting close to half an inch of rain. Temperatures will struggle to warm much at all, staying in the 40s before falling into the 30s Saturday night into Sunday. Rain will likely last most of the day on Saturday, before tapering off overnight into Sunday morning. Sunday is a similarly cool day, with potential for some lingering clouds early, but generally more sunshine late in the day. Clearing, and a switch to north winds will cool us on Monday, with lows in the 20s and highs near 40. We'll start to become more mild further into the middle of next week, with temperatures reaching back into the mid-40s Tuesday and 50s by mid-week.
