Much needed drought-relief arriving to mid-Missouri

TONIGHT : Clouds will hold on into the evening and overnight hours. Temperatures will still continue to fall thanks to winds out of the north tonight as we bottom out in the low 30s across the region. You’ll want to grab your jacket headed out the door on Sunday morning.

SUNDAY: We will start the morning out with mostly cloudy skies, but we will finally begin to see them break up into the afternoon, where temperatures will rebound into the middle 50s. Make sure you get out to enjoy the dry time because more rain is on the way late Sunday.

EXTENDED : You’ll want to keep the umbrella handy out the door on your Monday as more rain looks to overspread the area starting early in the morning. The heaviest rain looks to fall until the mid-afternoon hours. We’ll see a period of scattered showers following that initial wave, before another area of rain arrives Tuesday. Rainfall totals of 1-3″ are expected across Mid-Missouri with the highest amounts south of I-70. We look to dry out Wednesday and calmer weather will close out the work week.
