Tracking a dreary Sunday before an early workweek warmup

TODAY: Morning showers with temperatures hovering in the 40s. Rain pulls out by noon but clouds persist all day.

TOMORROW: The last of the clouds exit by sunrise with the clearest areas dipping near freezing. Temperatures recover thanks to southerly winds as we reach the low 50s.

EXTENDED: Tuesday continues our warmup as highs reach the 60s ahead of the next potential rainmaker. Tuesday night a cold front sweeps through, bringing chances of light precipitation overnight into Wednesday morning. That drops temperatures dramatically by early Wednesday as most of Mid-Missouri is set to lose nearly 40 degrees. Temperatures warm back to near seasonal averages for the second half of the week and another system bears watching next weekend.
