Warming temperatures and rain chances this week

TONIGHT: Overcast skies return to Mid-Missouri through the night, ahead of the next upper level disturbance. With the overcast skies expected, temperatures will remain steady through the night. Lows are expected to fall into the low to mid 40s, as winds remain out of the southeast up to 10 mph. It’s possible that we could see some drizzle as we head through the night, but any precipitation that we see will likely hold off until Tuesday.

TUESDAY: Drizzle will be possible through the afternoon and evening hours Tuesday, as overcast skies and low level moisture remain in the area. A cold front is set to slowly track through the region Tuesday night into Wednesday, where we will see the drizzle become light rain and isolated thunder. High temperatures will stay in the lower 50s with a south breeze up to 10 mph.

EXTENDED: Rain ends Wednesday morning and clouds will break up to partly cloudy skies as high temperatures reach near 60. Thursday looks sunny but cooler with highs in the mid-upper 50s. Clouds will increase with a chance of light rain Thursday night as warmer air moves in behind a warm front, keeping our low temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. However, another cold front is set to track through Mid-Missouri Friday afternoon with the potential for some strong to severe storms as high temperatures reach the mid to upper 60s. Colder air moves in behind the front, leaving us with a cool weekend with high temperatures only in the upper 40s to lower 50s and nights dipping into the upper 20s to lower 30s.
