Tracking warm, breezy weather before rain brings relief

TONIGHT: I'm tracking partly cloudy sky conditions with winds shifting out of the south at 5-8 mph. Temperatures will drop into the low 40s by the end of the night.

TOMORROW: I'm tracking a sunny day with temperatures warming into the upper 60s and low 70s by the afternoon hours. Winds will begin to pick up from the south at 10-12 mph, increasing in speed throughout the later hours of Sunday night.

EXTENDED: I'm tracking clouds starting to make their way into central Missouri by the start of the week. Strong winds from the south at 15-20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph starting Monday and lasting through Wednesday will lead to temperatures warming into the upper 70s and low 80s. This will also lead to a danger for rapid fire spread with the drought currently in place. Luckily, rainfall ahead of a cold front on Wednesday afternoon will bring some relief to these drought conditions and set mid-MO up for a cooler end of the week.
