Drier Weather for the Work Week

It looks like we will have a nice dry spell for the work week. We have a cold front that is getting ready to sink down in the Northern half of the state heading into your Wednesday. This means that we will probably see some cooler temperatures in the mid/lower 70s for those counties to the North of the viewing area and further to the South, warmer temperatures in the lower 80s. This gorgeous weather continues on into Thursday as well. Despite a cold front moving through which we normally associate storm development with, we should continue to see dry conditions. The area forecast discussion out of St. Louis would agree with this as well. You can read the forecast discussion for yourself at: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=LSX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1

A warm front will begin to lift over the Midwest Thursday which will allow for the air to become unstable. This will lead to some shower and thunderstorm development late Thursday into Friday morning. Nothing at this point is leading me to believe that any of this development could be severe.. The Storm Prediction Center out of Norman Oklahoma (http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/) does not have any convective outlooks for us at this time. This, as we already know, can always change for us. There will be a better idea of what we have to deal with come tomorrow.

Until then, enjoy the beautiful spring time weather. Take advantage of it if you can!
