Breezy conditions with temperatures cooling
THURSDAY: Clouds will increase as we head throughout the day. Even with a start in the middle 50s this morning, temperatures will gradually cool off throughout the day as breezy conditions continue. Winds will be sustained 20-25 mph with some gusts near 45 mph, which is why the National Weather Service extended the Wind Advisory into today.
TONIGHT: As this strong system moves to our northeast, remnant moisture looks to rotate around western side and into Mid-Missouri this evening. This will lead to a chance at some light sprinkles to showers and a snowflake or two mixing in overnight as temperatures drop into the low 30s. Winds will still be breezy, but out of a northwest direction.
EXTENDED: Friday will be cooler in the wake of this system with temperatures in the low to mid 40s for afternoon highs. We’ll start the day out with mostly cloudy skies but sunshine looks to return to close out the day before setting. Sunshine continues into this weekend, as temperatures rebound near 50 on Saturday and in the middle 50s for St. Patrick’s Day. A good portion of next week looks quiet, with a slight warming trend.
