Spotty storms through 8 PM

THIS AFTERNOON: We’re tracking a weak cold front pushing southward early this afternoon. That will be responsible for the development of widely scattered showers and storms as we progress into the evening. Most of the storm coverage looks to stay south of I-70, so if you’re headed out to the Missouri State Fair, stay weather-conscious… Thunderstorms are possible in Sedalia anywhere between 2-7pm today– we’re not worried about a washout, but be on the lookout for lightning & heavy rainfall at times.

TONIGHT: Temperatures will drop into the upper 60s with partly cloudy skies. Winds will be light out of the northeast around 2 mph. Some patchy fog is possible by Saturday morning.

EXTENDED: For the weekend, temperatures won’t drop much behind the cold front as highs range from the upper 80s to low 90s. The humidity will stay fairly low this weekend as dew points stay in the lower 60s. Monday looks mostly dry and seasonal, but rain chances returning by the evening and continuing Tuesday into Wednesday as an upper level wave of low pressure moves in from the west. Periods of showers and t-storms are possible from Tuesday through early Thursday with temperatures staying in the mid to upper 80s.
