Expect rain showers to move into the region tonight, primarily after midnight. These rain showers will persist on and off through the day tomorrow with unseasonably cool afternoon highs in the middle 50s. A few rumbles of thunder can be expected, but severe weather is not expected tonight or tomorrow. Monday we'll see a few lingering showers in the morning, but the sun should return by the afternoon.
Rainfall totals should be light with most of the area picking up to .50" by Monday morning. Western counties could pick up to an inch of rainfall, but overall rainfall accumulations should be minor.

Severe Risk for Monday Night!
Hey there!
Well, it looks like severe weather is in store for us Monday evening into Tuesday morning...
Places like Sedalia, Marshall, Chillicothe, Salisbury, Columbia, and Jefferson City should be on the lookout for scattered storms to develop ahead of a cold front. As this cluster of storms form along a cold front, a line of storms is expected to move due East towards areas around Kingdom City, Fulton, Montgomery City, and Vienna. These areas could experience some severe weather as this line of storm move through Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Continue to tune in to KOMU.com and Weatherplus channel 247 on Mediacom and 8.2 on Digital cable.
Monday: The risk for severe weather will hold off until Late Monday.

A Warm Week In Store!
The next few days will be the warmest of this spring season thus far. Temperatures are expected to climb into upper 70s and lower 80s across the region on Monday and Tuesday. With this warm air moving into the area, dewpoints will rise in the upper 50s and lower 60s, making things feel much more humid around here! There is a chance for thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon/evening through Wednesday morning. At this point the risk for severe storms is slim, but if things change we will let you know....til then enjoy the warm weather!

April Snow Showers......
Need I say more! An extremely powerful low pressure system moved eastward earlier this week and now the remnants of the cold upper level trough is finally moving through. But I'm sure everyone is wondering why is it snowing in April? Well, here's your explanation:
When you get really powerful low pressure systems they eventually gain enough power and energy to develop into the upper levels of the atmosphere. When this upper level low develops, storm systems usually have the signature "occluded" (the pink/purple front on weather maps) frontal boundaries. Occluded fronts develop when the cold frontal boundaries catches up to the warm front. Once the occlusion occurs the surface low continues to move in whichever direction the system is prepelled in while the upper level low lags behind and pulls extremely cold area around on the westward side of upper level low. This is exactly what we are feeling the effects of. The amazing thing is that the surface low center of this system is already off the east coast while the upper level low is still hanging around the Great Lakes area! This really shows how occluded this system became.
This weekend will continue to be cold until this upper level low pushes off to the east. Sunday will be cloudy, just as today was. Expect to see more snow and rain showers through the early afternoon Suday. Monday sunshine will return and tempertures will continue to rebound into the early portion of next week.
Stay warm friends!

A beautiful weekend, or what?
Hey fellow bloggers!
Hope you all are finally drying out! Today ushered in clear open skies with temperatures in the 60s across all of the area! I would say this is a pleasant day, especially since most of Mid-Missouri is still recovering from floods. The pleasant weather will last through tomorrow afternoon. It looks like some of us will see some thunderstorms tomorrow evening, but these storms will not be an "all day rain event." This will be a lot like the typical spring thunder showers we are use to seeing around this time of year. We are not expecting flooding to occur from the thunderstorms Sunday, but with a chance of rain in the forecast Tuesday - Thursday we could see another chance for minor flooding then. For now though, enjoy the sunshine and warm temps! Spring is here!
