Today: Temperatures look to continue to rise into the mid-80's this afternoon with skies remaining partly cloudy. Pollen levels look to remain very high with weed pollen being the primary allergen. Winds vary but remain calm at 5 mph.
Tonight: Temperatures look to fall into the mid to low 60's as skies remain partly cloudy. Winds return back out of the southwest.
Extended: Multiple week fronts make their way towards Mid-Missouri as a high pressure system pushes off to our east. Wednesday looks to remain partly cloudy with highs increasing into the upper 80's. High remain into the upper 80's heading into the rest of the week and into the weekend. A few scattered showers and storms are possible both Thursday and Friday along and north of highway 70 with trace amounts of rainfall expected. A stronger cold front reveals itself Saturday night into Sunday increasing the chance of widespread showers and storms that linger into early parts of next week aiding in minimizing drought-like conditions.
