Tracking a dry Saturday setting up for strong storms tonight

Today: Saturday starts off dry aside from a stray shower up to midmorning. Dry conditions rule out the rest of the day with temperatures reaching the lower 80s. By 7 pm storms move into western Mid-Missouri carrying severe potential. All hazards are possible with the main risk from 60 mph winds and 1" hail. Storms weaken into the overnight as they track east. All of the area sees decent rainfall between 1 to 2 inches.

Tomorrow: Showers and storms will track out early Sunday with dry time now likely most of the day. Highs reach the upper 70s, seasonal for one of the first official days of fall. The cold front fueling storms from the previous day will finally move through Sunday evening, possibly producing a stray storm or two.

Extended: Dry conditions settle in for the workweek ahead, and we kick off fall right on target in the upper 70s. Late week will likely be several degrees warmer thanks to persistent dryness, with highs returning to the lower 80s.
