Tracking mild weekend ahead of heat wave

TONIGHT: After showers and sprinkles keeping skies cloudy, we'll see some clearing tonight, but keep partly cloudy skies and a spot shower or two in the forecast for overnight. Most of us are dry tonight, and temperatures will fall into the low 60s.

TOMORROW: An overall warmer day, temperatures will climb in to the mid-80s, Saturday, under partly cloudy skies. More spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms may roll in from the north, bringing very limited and isolated chances for rain and thunder in the afternoon and evening.

EXTENDED: Some of this activity may be repeated on Sunday, but both days will end mostly dry. Temperatures climb closer to 90 on Sunday. With better southwest wind, we'll climb further, into the mid-90s on Monday. Temperatures look warm much of next week, with upper level high pressure moving in and keeping our pattern in place. Daily winds from the south will bring the warmth too mid-MO, and upper level high pressure will allow it to build. Confidence is low on rain chances, as we're near the edge of the upper level high, and that will permit some disturbances to bring us rain, but the overall trend is heat and low rain chances. There is also a chance that humidity could be a concern with heat next week. Temperatures likely remain in the mid-to-upper 90s through Friday.
