Tracking a picture-perfect Mother’s Day weekend

TODAY: Mostly sunny and warm with highs in the upper 70s. Winds from the northeast will be light between 5 and 10 mph.

TOMORROW: Sunday welcomes more sunshine and warm temperatures for Mother's Day as highs remain in the upper 70s.

EXTENDED: The UV Index reaches very high levels this weekend, meaning sunburn is possible in 20 minutes without sunscreen. Scattered rain is expected on Monday in southeastern Missouri, but many areas will stay dry, and highs break into the 80s on Tuesday. Temperatures peak in the mid to upper 80s midweek ahead of another chance for rain, and possibly some storms, by Thursday.
