Sunshine today… Rain chances increasing Tuesday
THIS AFTERNOON: We’re continuing to track nice temperatures and lots of sunshine. We’ll top out in the low to mid-50s by mid-afternoon. We’ll see some clouds start to peek into the region through the evening commute. A light jacket will be needed for any evening plans as we dip back into the upper 40s.
TONIGHT: Clouds build into the overnight hours ahead of our next system. Temperatures drop into the mid 30s with easterly winds up to 5-8 mph.
EXTENDED: Our next chance at rain arrives as a weak spin of low pressure approaches the region Tuesday. Clouds will increase through Tuesday morning, with light rain showers increasing after lunch time. Rain will be sporadic and slowly increase in coverage through the evening as the main cold front approaches. It will be a cold rain across the area Tuesday evening. Rainfall amounts will be light, up to .25″ for most of Mid-Missouri. Areas to the northwest may see closer to .50″ with this system. Spot showers will continue into Wednesday before we dry by the end of the work week. Thursday and Friday looks sunny with highs in the 60s. Our next disturbance brings us more rain into the weekend.
