Tracking a warm Wednesday with a few overnight storms possible

TONIGHT: Mostly clear with increasing clouds by daybreak. Lows in the lower 40s.

TOMORROW: Partly sunny and mild with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

EXTENDED: Tonight isn't as cold as lows fall to around 40, and tomorrow looks even warmer as a south breeze pushes temperatures to the lower 70s. Storm chances late tomorrow night look to be more confined to areas south of I-70 and isolated in coverage. There could be a few more showers or storms on Thursday south of a cold front, primarily south of the Missouri River. The risk for anything severe in Mid-Missouri is low given the timing of the cold frontal passage. We'll be slightly cooler in the wake of the front as highs reach the low 60s Thursday afternoon. Friday is cooler, but still nice as temperatures reach the mid-upper 50s. The weekend looks fantastic as sunshine returns Saturday and temperatures top out in the upper 50s. Sunday is even warmer with high temperatures getting into the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. For perspective, the average high is 47 for this time in February. Next week looks interesting to start off as the pattern is signaling for thunderstorms between Monday night or Tuesday as a cold front works through. Temperatures on Monday and Tuesday reach the low 70s and it's breezy before the front arrives. Behind that, we're looking chillier and closer to average for the rest of next week.
