Tracking a sunny second half of the week with low humidity

TODAY: Afternoon highs rise into the lower 80s with mostly sunny skies. The humidity looks to continue to push out of the region thanks to winds out of the northwest.

TONIGHT: We'll stay mostly dry tonight, and mostly clear, but another very weak cold front will bring a chance for a few very light showers north of Columbia overnight. Hardly anyone in mid-Missouri actually sees rain from this.

EXTENDED: Temperatures start near 60, and climb another 20 degrees into the 80s under mostly sunny skies with continued low humidity. We'll feel dry again on Friday as well for another sunny day in the low 80s. Rain chances return Friday night into Saturday. Showers and a few rumbles will be highly uncertain in terms of track and timing, but rain chances are growing, and we'll likely be a bit cooler as a result. A high in the upper70s is possible, but with lesser rain chances on Sunday, highs are forecast to return to low 80s. Monday looks drier, with a few clouds, but still a high near 80. Another rain chance returns Tuesday.
