Rising temperatures. late-week storm chances
TONIGHT: A beautiful night is on tap for Mid-Missouri as decreasing clouds and light winds out of the south allow lows to bottom out in the upper 50s to near 60.
TUESDAY: You’ll need the sunglasses and sunscreen as we’ll see full sunshine and warmer temperatures. Highs will reach the upper 80s but the humidity will still be fairly low as dew points remain in the upper 50s. Winds will stay under 10 mph from the southwest.
EXTENDED: We continue to stay dry through midweek, but we’re watching a series of disturbances developing along a growing ridge of high pressure over the central plains. With the growing ridge we are going to see a nice warm up we head through the middle of this week, reaching near 90 by Wednesday. We will see an unsettled weather pattern developing across Mid-Missouri as we begin to see increasing rain chances into the weekend, starting Thursday. Thursday’s is a low chance of afternoon storms but the chance increases by Friday night and Saturday as a weak front wavers across the area. There is also a slight storm chance Sunday as high temperatures reach the upper 80s this weekend with heat indices as high as the mid 90s. We’ll continue to track any thunderstorm risks headed into that timeframe. Watch ABC 17 News for the latest forecast and check back here for updates.
