Strong Storms Possible

One round of rain has moved out of the Ozarks. Weather Watchers are reporting anywhere from a few tenths of an inch to over an inch and a half of much needed moisture. After the first round of rain ended the sun broke through the clouds and destabilized the atmosphere. A second round of storms is now forming in western Missouri. A few of these storms could be severe producing small to moderate hail and brief gusty winds. Once the sun sets the storms should weaken some but may not fully end until later tonight. Strong northwest winds will develop later tonight and usher in cool dry air for Thursday. Lows the temperatures will drop to around 50 and recover to the low 70s under a sunny sky.

Cardinals Baseball

The latest radar out of Saint Louis shows dry conditions currently. However the storm firing around Sedalia do have a chance of making it to St. Louis later this evening. I would think somewhere around 9pm there could be a delay but should not last more than an hour or so.

The Rest of the Week and Weekend

Here is the best way to describe the weather this weekend. If I didn't have chores to do around the house I would be floating or at least heading to the lake. I think we are going to have ideal conditions with loads of sun and comfortable temperatures. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s. Lows will be in the 40s and 50s. Take advantage of the nice weather because the Ozarks will get its first real shot of cold air by the middle of next week. I am not sure we will get our first frost but it will be close.

Sunny Skies,
