Rain increasing tonight, chilly start to weekend
TONIGHT: The heaviest rain is set to arrive this evening, as the disturbance itself tracks into Mid-Missouri. Tonight into Saturday morning is the best chance for areas north of I-70 to see some rainfall, but it will be very little. The heaviest rain will stay confined to HWY50 and south, where there is a small chance for some localized flooding. Northeast winds will increase to 15-20 mph overnight as lows drop into the low 40s.
SATURDAY: Showers will taper off from west to east through the day, with a few lingering south of HWY 54 into the afternoon before ending. It will stay cool with high temperatures only reaching 50 to 58 degrees, with warmest temperatures in northwestern Missouri and locations south of HWY 50 likely staying in the upper 40s .
EXTENDED: We’ll be dry and cold Saturday night with lows dropping into the upper 30s to near 40 by Sunday morning. Sunday looks nice with sunny skies, light northerly winds and high temperatures in the upper 60s. We’ll warm to the low to mid 70s early next week with mainly dry weather through Tuesday. Rain chances increase Wednesday through the end of next week. Please check back for updates and follow ABC17Stormtrack on Twitter and ABC17News on Facebook for updates as well.
