Rain Thursday- Friday followed by hot weekend
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy skies will hang around with winds remaining out of the north up to 10 mph. Temperatures will cool through the night and touch 60 by morning.
WEDNESDAY: Although skies will be mostly sunny, it may be a bit hazy due to smoke from wildfires out west carried in with northwesterly winds aloft. Temperatures will be more like early September, only reaching 80-82 with a northerly breeze under 8 mph.
EXTENDED: Heading into Thursday, a batch of showers and t-storms in western Missouri in the morning will slowly track to the east and gradually fall apart. Areas west of HWY 63 have the best chance of seeing rain during the day Thursday with a lower chance east. Clouds will keep us in the upper 70s to near 80 Thursday. Scattered showers and t-storms will move in Thursday night as a warm front lifts to the northeast. Most of these will move out early Friday with drier weather in the afternoon with high temperatures climbing into the low to mid 80s. Right now it looks dry for Sportzone Football Friday with temperatures in the lower 80s during the evening. Much warmer air moves in behind the front and the weekend looks hot with highs near 90 Saturday and mid 90s Sunday under partly cloudy skies. It will also be humid this weekend and heat indices will reach as high as 100 degrees. The heat continues through the middle of next week.
