Tracking low rain chances, cooler than average temperatures this weekend

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy, lows in the lower 60s.

TOMORROW: Partly cloudy with a chance for afternoon showers near the Lake of the Ozarks. Highs in the lower 80s.

EXTENDED: Despite mid and high level cloud cover this afternoon, we remain dry into tonight with rain across far southern Missouri. Tomorrow will be a touch cooler to start off with lows in the lower to mid-60s. Afternoon clouds are likely with a complex of storms developing along the stalled front across the southern third of the state. Some of these showers could make it as far north as Highway 50 in the late afternoon. Temperatures Saturday make it to the low to mid-80s. Sunday is dry for the majority of the day with highs in the mid-80s, but a few showers and storms are possible toward early evening as a front lifts north. By Monday, heat sets back in with the warm front north of us and upper high pressure building overhead. This will bring temperatures back into the mid-upper 90s by Tuesday, with the heat index creeping back above 100 for much of the week. Little rain is in the forecast, but a weak front could move in between Thursday and Friday bringing a shower chance across the northern part of the state. Heat doesn't look to subside, with above average temperatures into next weekend.
