Wet Weather Finally Comes to an End!

This is the fifth Thursday in a row that we have seen the rain. We have a flash flood watch in effect for just about the entire state of Missouri. You can find out exactly where on www.komu.com It will be nice to finally get out of the pattern of wet weather that we have seen throughout the month of October. Over half of the month we have see rainy days from just a trace of precipitation up to 4+ inches for some days. I am sure we have all been looking forward to the sun returning and it will do so as we head on into the weekend. Temperatures will cool down a bit for your Friday afternoon with the passing of the cold front through the area.

Your Halloween forecast is looking pretty good at this point. We will be high and dry with temperatures. Middle 50s for highs as temperatures fall back into the upper 40s/lower 50s for the trick or treaters out and about on Saturday. Your work week looks high and dry as well with temperatures climbing through the 60s and getting close to 70! Enjoy the beautiful fall weather that we missed out on during the month of October!

Nearing the end of October

It's hard to believe that the month of October is almost over. The first half of the month brought us the coolest temperatures that we have ever seen here in Mid Missouri. We averaged almost 10 degrees below normal (and that only includes the first 15 days!). Also, as far as precipitation goes, we were already the 5th wettest October recorded on the 15th. We have continued to see rain falling through the latter half of the month as well. This just continues to move us up further in the Wettest October column. I will have more details once we close out the month.

We have seen more cloudy days than sunny ones lately. This is partly due to a split polar vortex as well as blocking of weather systems. We will see the clouds begin to break up for your Wednesday afternoon but they will move right back on in by Thursday into Friday. We will continue to usher in showers and a few rumbles of thunder as we near the weekend. However, the weekend clears out and we will dry up. It will be quite nice to see the sun again. Halloween is looking good for all the trick-or-treaters!
