Little sunshine as active weather pattern continues

Although our cloudiest months are November and December, clouds tend to stick around during the start of spring with only 50% sunshine in March on average. Storm systems passing through frequently and the lower sun angle early in the spring causes clouds to be more persistent this time of year. As we head into summer, sunshine will become more abundant.

The next storm system will move in this weekend bringing showers and t-storms in Sunday morning with a few more showers and t-storms possible late in the day and evening. The surface low is forecast to track to our south which will keep the higher severe threat Sunday in Arkansas. However, strong storms look possible in Mid-Missouri in the afternoon and early evening. As this system slowly moves east, rain is still possible early Monday with the second half of the day drier.

Looking ahead, it looks like we might get a break from the wet weather for 3-4 days at the end of next week and weekend as the storm track lifts to the north briefly.
