Beautiful Friday with storms arriving into the weekend

FRIDAY: It is a beautiful end to the work week, as sunny skies and northeasterly winds warm us into the low to mid 80s this afternoon. A few passing clouds are possible through the day, with low humidity sticking around.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy skies will build in tonight, ahead of a series of upper level disturbances that will bring storms into the weekend. A spot shower is possible through the night, otherwise it will be dry and pleasant with a low of 62.

EXTENDED: Below average temperatures will continue into the weekend with a slight storm chance late Saturday and better chance of showers and storms Sunday. Saturday, most storms look to either go to our north into northern Missouri or into southern Missouri, missing most of our area. This could change, depending on the track of the upper level disturbances but as of now, the chance of rain Saturday is low. There is a slightly better chance Sunday as a storm system passes through southern Missouri. A few showers are possible Saturday night mainly north of I-70 with scattered showers and storms Sunday. Severe storms are not expected. Temperatures will stay mild this weekend, with high temperatures only reaching near 80 and nights in the low to mid 60s. Next week starts off with a chance of rain Monday and Tuesday as temperatures stay below average, reaching near 80 Monday. By Monday morning, we could see rainfall amounts anywhere form .75″ – 1.25″ spread across Mid-Missouri. It’s likely we could see even higher totals as we head into the middle of the week. Despite the rain, the drought will still remain in place, as 7-10 inches of rain is needed to alleviate our drought. Temperatures slowly warm through next week as the upper level low pressure area moves off to the east and the upper level ridge builds back in, bringing back summer-like heat by the end of the week.
