Tracking much cooler temperatures by Wednesday morning

TONIGHT: Clouds developing with temperatures dropping into the upper 20s to around 30. Gusty west winds up to 25 mph.

TOMORROW: Mostly cloudy with highs near 40. Breezy, with westerly winds up to 40 mph.

EXTENDED: Tonight, winds shift more west/northwesterly as cooler air settles in along with cloud cover. We'll drop into the upper 20s to around 30 by morning. Expect a cloudy Wednesday as temperatures only reach the upper 30s to around 40. Thursday is looking very similar as that cold air mass hangs out over the Midwest, keeping us in the upper 30s with cloud cover. We'll see a bump northward in the jet stream as cold air works east by Friday and highs get into the upper 40s. By Friday night, another disturbance will bring low pressure across Mid-Missouri, giving us a chance at late night showers that could linger into Saturday morning. Rain amounts will be around a trace to 0.1". We'll still get into the 40s, but we'll be a bit cooler behind that front on Sunday with high temperatures in the lower 40s. We'll stay just slightly above average in the upper 40s with dry weather to start next week.
