Tracking drenching rain with scattered storms the next few days

TONIGHT: Cloudy and humid with ongoing scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms may bring heavy rain. Lows in the low 70s.

TOMORROW: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Additional rainfall between 1-2". Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

EXTENDED: Low level moisture continues to stream into the area tomorrow night, but the heavy rain threat will shift a bit more south as a low pressure system at the surface moves along the Missouri and Arkansas border through Friday. This will keep the more steady rainfall across southern Missouri up to about I-44. Farther north, showers and storms become a bit more isolated Friday. By Saturday, this low pressure will begin to move east over southeast Missouri into southern Illinois, but scattered wrap around showers and thunderstorms on the western side of this low will be possible through Saturday and Sunday. However, dry time will be easier to come by for the weekend. Temperatures over the next few days will continue to be below average with highs near 80 and lows in the low to mid-60s, even into next week.
