Up and down temperatures, rain chances

TONIGHT: A few showers or t-storms are possible in the evening hours at the Lake of the Ozarks and areas west. Later in the night, a cluster of storm is expected to move across southwestern Missouri, possible reaching the Truman Reservoir and Lake of the Ozarks area by morning. Lows will drop to near 70 overnight with light easterly winds under 10 mph.

WEDNESDAY: Showers and t-storms are possible in the morning with the best chance west of HWY 63. Temperatures will stay in the mid to upper 80s with low humidity under partly to mostly cloudy skies and southeast winds up to 10 mph. There is also a chance of a few afternoon showers and storms.

EXTENDED: More storms are possible late Wednesday night into Thursday morning and again Thursday afternoon as a warm front moves through. This will bring temperatures back up to near 90 Thursday and into the low 90s Friday and will increase the humidity. Heat indices will climb into the mid 90s Thursday and upper 90s Friday. A cold front will move through Friday, giving us a chance of morning storms. Winds will shift to the north behind this front, ushering in cooler, drier air and giving us a nice start to the weekend. The upcoming weekend looks mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 and nights in the upper 60s. Check back with ABC 17 News for the latest forecast and updates throughout the week.
