Warm & Breezy Saturday, Rainy & Cooler Sunday
SATURDAY: Warmer air moves in to start the weekend and it will be warm, breezy and mostly sunny Saturday with high temperatures in the low 60s. The fire danger will be high due to dry vegetation, low humidity and gusty winds up to 30 mph. Outdoor burning should be avoided.
SUNDAY: Heading into Sunday, a storm system passing to our south will lift clouds and moisture into Mid-Missouri by morning. Rain will start as early as 4 AM in the Ozarks, lifting to the north through the morning and shifting to the east out of our area by early afternoon. Rainfall amounts will range anywhere from trace amounts north of I-70 to a quarter inch south. This is certainly not enough to alleviate our drought but will help settle the dust a bit. Sunday will be slightly cooler, reaching near 50 due to more clouds and winds shifting to the northwest.
EXTENDED: Early next week temperatures will level out with highs in the 50s as a milder weather pattern develops and continues through Thursday, A cold front moving through Thursday night will bring a slight chance of rain and snow and drop temperatures considerably for Friday with highs only in the 30s to end the work week.
