Tracking quiet and beautiful weather all week

TONIGHT: Mostly clear and cool with lows in the upper 40s.

TOMORROW: Mostly sunny and beautiful with highs in the mid-70s.

EXTENDED:  With high pressure overhead, temperatures dip into the upper 40s overnight. Our local forecast is quite tranquil this week with very little impact to be felt here with what's left of Ian to stay well to our east late this week. Upper high pressure allows temperatures to dip into the lower 40s Wednesday and Thursday nights, but there could be some patchy frost up across northern Missouri with lows dipping into the upper 30s from about Macon north. The average first frost for the Columbia and Jefferson City area happens in the week of October 15-20. By late this weekend, winds shift southwest with the remnant low of Ian to our east. That will help bump our temperatures into the lower 80s Sunday and Monday. Our next front likely won't move in until Monday or Tuesday of next week, potentially breaking our dry spell with a bit more rain.
