Tracking scattered storms tomorrow, big late week cool down

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with isolated to scattered showers and a few storms late. Lows in the mid-60s.

TOMORROW: Mostly cloudy with lingering showers and storms, especially near I-44 and the Lake of the Ozarks. Highs in the mid-upper 70s.

EXTENDED: Clouds increase even more tonight, keeping low temperatures around 65. Scattered showers pick up in coverage ahead of the front, with a few thunderstorms possible by late afternoon or evening. The best chance for more measurable rain will be near and along the I-44 corridor into Thursday where low level winds kick up more moisture along the boundary. Showers exit by mid-late afternoon to the east/southeast, leaving us with highs in the lower to mid-70s on Thursday. A secondary dry cold front comes through Thursday night, pulling in even cooler air for Friday as we start out near 50 in the morning. We only manage the low to mid-60s for highs on Friday, and another weaker disturbance moving through could add a few clouds or perhaps a couple sprinkles. The weekend feels like later fall as lows fall into the upper 30s to around 40 with highs just under 60 degrees Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning will be similar as temperatures dip into the upper 30s to around 40. Patchy frost will be possible across northeast Missouri. Winds will eventually start becoming more zonal, or west to east, in the jet stream next week, bringing temperatures back to near or above average by mid-week in the mid-70s.
