Warming into the weekend, rain Sunday
TONIGHT: Winds will remain a bit breezy out of the southwest up to 12 mph, which will help overnight lows remain in the mid 20s under clear skies. With a steady breeze, wind chills will drop into the mid teens overnight.
FRIDAY: We’ll have abundant sunshine and a mild but breezy afternoon as high temperatures reach 50 degrees. Southwest winds at 10-15 mph will gust as high as 25 mph.
EXTENDED: The warming continues into the weekend with high temperatures reaching the low-mid 50s Saturday and upper 50s to near 60 Sunday. We’ll have more low clouds around Saturday with a slight chance of spotty drizzle in the morning with a better chance of drizzle Saturday night into Sunday morning. Sunday will feel more like late March as temperatures approach 60 degrees with gusty southerly winds up to 25 mph. As a cold front approaches, rain chances increase through the day Sunday with showers likely by late afternoon and into the evening. Rainfall amounts of a quarter to half inch are expected and much needed considering the drought conditions that have spread across the state. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible mainly in the Ozarks and southeastern Missouri. As colder air moves in early Monday, there is a slight chance of light rain and snow but no snow accumulation is expected at this time. Temperatures will stay in the upper 30s to near 40 Monday and into the lower 40s Tuesday and Wednesday. Watch ABC 17 news and check back on our website for the latest updates to your forecast.
