Tracking rain tonight, wet morning commute Wednesday

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers possible. Lows in the mid-40s.

TOMORROW: Scattered showers and storms and windy with gusts up to 35 mph. Highs near 60.

EXTENDED: Scattered showers move in ahead of a warm front that will be lifting northeast across the region tonight. Temperatures will be more than 15 degrees warmer than where we landed Tuesday morning in the mid-40s. Rain and storms continue through early afternoon, keeping temperatures in the upper 50s to around 60. The cold front will trigger showers and storms across parts of eastern Kansas and western Missouri by late afternoon and evening, but the severe threat will be low for Mid-Missouri with the atmosphere worked over by rain earlier in the day. That said, scattered showers and storms will be possible overnight. The front looks to stall across the state on Thursday, triggering yet another round of rain and storms, especially for areas along and south of the boundary. Temperatures will warm up as the warm front continues to lift north and winds pick up from the south, pushing temperatures back into the 70s for highs. Friday is looking a bit drier, but there will be a chance for storms near the front across northern Missouri early in the day. We'll reach near or just above 80 degrees with strong south winds Friday into Saturday, with another cold front approaching from the west Saturday night. This will trigger showers and storms into Sunday, dropping temperatures back to near 70 or just below. Rain amounts over the next week could reach the 1-3" range.
