Tuesday brings scattered showers and t-storms

TUESDAY: Scattered storms capable of damaging winds and quarter size hail are possible for the morning commute, as the cold front continues to track through the region. Thanks to a combination of clouds and rain, temperatures for most of the day should remain in the 70s before briefly jumping into the 80s into the afternoon hours. A marginal risk for severe storms is in place for a large portion of Mid-Missouri into the day Tuesday, but rain and cloud coverage should limit our severe threat. Rainfall amounts will likely top out anywhere from .50″ to 1″, with heavier amounts to our southeast.

TONIGHT: This evening we are going to see a drying trend, with most areas dry by 10 PM. Clouds will stick around through the night as temperatures drop into the upper 60s. By daybreak we are going to see fog settle across the area, likely impacting the morning commute.

EXTENDED: Temperatures will rebound into Wednesday as we see increasing sunshine through the day. There is a small chance for a few spot showers east of HWY 63, but most locations should stay on the dry side. The rest of the week features highs near 90 degrees as upper level riding slides back into the area. By the end of the week into the weekend, rain chances are back in the forecast, as a developing low over the Great Lakes should keep isolated showers in the forecast.
