Soggy start, but drying by the afternoon
TUESDAY : As the line of stronger storms exits the area early this morning we are going to see scattered showers on the backend of the system for the morning commute. We will see a drying trend from north to south later on this morning. By the afternoon most of the day will be dry and slightly cooler. High temperatures will reach near 90 with heat indices in the lower 90s under partly cloudy skies.
TONIGHT : Most of mid-Missouri will stay dry tonight under partly cloudy skies as overnight lows drop towards 70 degrees. A cluster of storms looks to develop to the west into Kansas late tonight and will move east into southern mid-Missouri early Wednesday morning. This could create for a soggy commute south of I-70, with the best chance south of HWY 50.
EXTENDED : After the potential for morning storms, we will dry out by Wednesday afternoon under partly sunny skies. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s Wednesday but will climb into the low 90s Thursday and Friday, possibly reaching the mid 90s this weekend. The humidity will climb and the heat index will reach the upper 90s Friday and near 100 this weekend. Rain chances look minimal within the next 7-days as we will likely stay dry for the upcoming weekend. Watch ABC 17 News for the latest forecast and check back here for updates.
