Unseasonably cool and wet weekend
TONIGHT: It will be calm and cool once again as overnight lows drop into the mid to upper 50s by the morning. Skies will remain clear through the evening, with winds slowly shifting out of the south under 5 mph.
SATURDAY: We’ll have an increasing chance of rain through the day. Showers and t-storms will move in by mid-morning near HWY 65 in western Missouri, spreading east through the afternoon. There is a severe storm chance near HWY 65 with isolated strong wind to 60 mph or 1″ hail but the threat is very low and limited to western Missouri. Scattered afternoon storms will continue into early evening across Mid-Missouri, becoming more widespread Saturday night. These will be efficient rain producers and heavy rain is likely Saturday night which could lead to flash flooding. Rainfall amounts of 1-3″ are likely with some areas seeing up to 5 inches of rain through early Sunday morning.
EXTENDED: Widespread rain early Sunday morning will taper off and end through the day with only spotty showers by afternoon. It will continue to be mild with highs only reaching the mid 70s Sunday. For the start of next week, we’ll warm to near 80 degrees Monday and Tuesday with rain chances returning Wednesday and Thursday.
