Brief break in rain by late Sunday afternoon into evening

Published March 19, 2017 12:02 PM

TODAY: Isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop as this system pulls east through areas along and south of I-70. Expect rain and storms to dry up by mid-afternoon. Due to light southeasterly winds up to 13 mph, temperatures will rise into the lower 60s with the western side of the state nearing the 70 degree threshold. By tonight, we will be staying mild; partly in thanks to cloud coverage keeping temperatures in the 50s.

MONDAY: More showers and thunderstorms will develop after midnight on Sunday. This round of rain has a better chance to produce accumulation up to 1/4″ for areas along and east of US 63 with pockets of accumulation as high as 1/2″. Temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 70s along with drier afternoon conditions. By Monday evening, another chance for showers moves into the area as a cold front tracks through Mid-Missouri.

EXTENDED: The next chance for more organized rain will arrive by late Monday and will continue into late Tuesday. Cooler temperatures near the seasonal average will dominate Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the 50s. Due to upper-air patterns bringing in frequent rain and storm chances over Mid-Missouri, we have much needed shower and thunderstorm chances each day of the week into next weekend. By Thursday and Friday, another warming trend will take the place of cooler temperatures. In regards to severe weather chances, the next chance for stronger storms exists for Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.
