Tracking rebounding temperatures this weekend after Friday’s cold

TODAY: Cold air from the arctic is bordering Mid-MO as an arctic high has pushed in just north of us. This cold is short-lived, as winds turn southerly this afternoon. Temperatures only reach low 30s despite blue skies.

TONIGHT: Temperatures fall into the 20's from clear skies. Winds will be breezy from the south up to 20 mph.

EXTENDED: Temperatures will soar into the 50s Saturday afternoon as low pressure approaches. This will bring a return of clouds, but the forecast remains dry. Winds let up a bit on Sunday, as they turn more westerly. Still, we'll climb into the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies. Clouds and breezes return on Monday, as we hit temperatures in the 60s by the afternoon. The first rain chances of the week arrive Tuesday morning, when a cold front passes through bringing showers with it. High pressure builds in for some time after that, giving us a short break before rain returns either Wednesday night or midday Thursday.
