Not a Terrible Week Ahead...

It could be much worse anyway, with rain only forecasted for the last 48 hours or so of the week instead of Tuesday through Thursday or more like last week. Temperatures won't be above normal, but they shouldn't be far below normal either; mainly a nice fall week as we near Halloween!

Lows tonight may bring patchy frost to many of the low lying areas in the state, 30s expected across the board. A nice sunshiny day tomorrow, highs ranging from the lower 60s in the east to the mid 60s and a few upper 60s along the Missouri river. Tuesday night lows won't be quite as cold as tonights, leaving most areas without the risk of frost. Mid 30s to near 40 from north to south across the state...

Mid-week has highs just a few degrees cooler than previous days; ranging from around 60 to the mid 60s from east to west. Lows at night however look to hold into the mid 30s to lower 40s from north to south. Thursday looks to be much of the same with highs in the lower 60s to mid 60s from east to west, showers likely to be just south of the state as a large cutoff low slowly makes its' way north. This indicates that by Thursday night we should start to see some of those showers over a majority of the state. With current models having a hard time on placement, strength and timing of the system as a whole, only low chances of rain have been introduced. However, it does seem likely that sometime within the Thursday to Friday range we will see some rainfall over the state. Lows Thursday night will be warmer with the cloud cover overhead, lower to mid 40s for the most part. With possible showers and at least clouds hanging around for the day on Friday, expect it to be the coldest of the week. Highs ranging from the lower 50s in the northwest to the upper 50s in the southeast. It does look however that the rain should move out of the state before or during Friday night, leaving the weekend forecast looking dry!
