Rain chance tonight, warm Wednesday

TONIGHT:Showers move southeast overnight and end as areas of fog develop. It will stay mild with low temperatures near 50 with light winds shifting to the northwest under 8 mph.

TUESDAY: Morning clouds & fog will clear to a mostly sunny afternoon which will be mild as high temperatures reach the low 70s. Clouds will linger closer to I-44 where there is an isolated shower chance late in the afternoon for Pulaski, Phelps and southern Gasconade counties. Winds will stay under 8 mph from the northwest, shifting to the southwest late.

EXTENDED: Wednesday will be warm and breezy with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. Humidity will drop to 30-40% in the afternoon as southwesterly winds gust as high as 25 mph which could cause fires to spread quickly. Outdoor burning is discouraged for Wednesday. Another rain chance does exist for Thursday and increasing towards Friday as a storm system moves through, giving us windy weather Friday and much cooler temperatures with highs in the upper 50s. The upcoming weekend looks to be more seasonal with temperatures returning to normal in the 40s Saturday and Sunday with cold nights in the upper 20s. We’ll keep an eye for rain & snow chances Sunday into Monday of next week. For additional weather updates follow @ABC17Stormtrack on Twitter.
