Tracking a warm afternoon before mid-week rain and snow chances
TODAY: Afternoon highs reach into the lower 80s as winds remain out of the southwest at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 27 mph possible. Skies remain mostly sunny this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Temperatures stay warm, in the 50s overnight, with partly cloudy skies. Clouds will increase into the sunrise hour as moisture moves into the region at about 15 thousand feet. This brings a few light showers to our skies, but there will be plenty of dry air below this, so rain chances will be quite low, and it's very possible no meaningful rain falls.
EXTENDED: Tuesday welcomes warmer temperatures once again topping out into the lower 80s. There is a slight chance for some light scattered showers in the early am hours, but most of Mid-Missouri will remain completely dry. Tuesday afternoon/ evening welcomes chances for a few isolated storm chances to start to the east towards Montgomery and Gasconade counties before pushing to the east. Late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning sees the possibility of light snow showers that look to exit to the east by 6 am leaving at most a light dusting on grassy and elevated surfaces. The rest of the week sees a warming trend topping out into the lower 70s by this weekend.
