Breezy and raw Saturday across Mid-Missouri
SATURDAY: It’s a chilly start to the weekend, with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, with wind chill values fall into the teens. Passing clouds are likely through the morning hours, as a cold front tracks through the region. This frontal boundary will reinforce the cold air that’s already in place across the region and make for a raw Saturday afternoon. Highs will struggle to climb out of the mid-30s, even with the sunshine we’ll see through the afternoon hours. As the frontal boundary tracks through, we’ll see winds shift out of the northwest up to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 25, making it feel like the mid 20s through most of the day.
TONIGHT: Winds will subside through the evening, but under mostly clear skies we’ll see temperatures bottom out in the low to mid 20s across the region. Our overnight low will likely occur around midnight to 2am, as a warm front lifting north through the night will actually bring rising temperatures. Even with that said, temperatures will still be on the cold side.
EXTENDED: We’ll warm up Sunday, reaching 50 under partly cloudy skies. It will be a bit breezy with westerly winds increasing to 15 mph in the afternoon. The work week will start with above average temperatures as we climb into the low 50s Monday but another cold front will move through, dropping temperatures again by next Tuesday with afternoon highs in the upper 30s. We look to modify again by Wednesday as highs rise back into the mid 40s.. A weak disturbance tracks through Mid-Missouri by Thursday which could bring a few flurries, but the overall weather pattern remains dry through the next week.
