Clouds early Saturday, Warmer Sunday
TONIGHT: Clouds will increase overnight and we’ll continue to have a southwest wind of 6-10 mph. Low temperatures will only drop into the upper 40s to near 50, making for a mild night.
SATURDAY: There will be mostly cloudy skies in the morning south of I-70 with a chance for sprinkles until noon for those closer to I-44. Most areas will have partly to mostly sunny skies and high temperatures near 70. We will be close to tying the record high of 71 Saturday which was set back in 1930. Winds will be under 10 mph from the southwest. Considering the dry terrain due to drought conditions and fairly low humidity, it is still not a good idea to do outdoor burning this weekend.
EXTENDED: Sunday will start off mostly sunny but clouds will move in later in the day. It will be warm Sunday with high temperatures in the low to mid 70s. We will come close to the record high which is 76 set back in 1930. The next chance of rain moves in Monday as early as daybreak. Areas west of US 63 look to have the better chance for rain with isolated t-storms possible. The mild weather lasts through most of next week but the weather pattern looks like it will change toward the end of February as cooler air moves in by next Friday and weekend.
