Temperatures will start on a cool note for Monday morning, in the middle 40s. A cut-off low pressure system, that is just sitting and spinning across the Ohio River Valley. This will be in direct competition with a high pressure system just to our north and west, which will keep our skies filtered with sunshine and cloud cover. Rain chances will return Wednesday into Thursday, but we won’t see much in terms of total rainfall.

There has been a lot of talk about thunderstorms and the potential for strong to severe storms heading into Monday and Tuesday and while severe weather is possible, the threat is not like what we’ve seen during the last several events. A lack of forcing over central Missouri and a caped environment (mid-level stable air) is likely to keep the coverage of storms more limited.

After a stormy day in mid-Missouri, we are expecting much quieter conditions for the rest of the night. We will start the day with a few clouds and temperatures in the upper 40s. Through the day temperatures will warm to the upper 60s with increasing sunshine and light to moderate winds out of the west at 5-15 mph. Temperatures will jump to the upper 70s for the middle of the week with a few isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms possible on Wednesday and Thursday.

The severe weather season has already had an active start in mid-Missouri, and that is likely to continue as we head through the spring. After a brief return to La Niña conditions this winter, we will see a return to a neutral ENSO phase. This is where we spent last spring, before the transition. The picture becomes more uncertain as we head into the fall and winter; that will be a puzzle piece to watch ahead of our winter weather outlook, which will come out in November 2025.

Mid-Missouri picked up some much needed rainfall from showers and thunderstorms on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Morning temperatures will start in the middle to upper 30s with a clear sky, but cloud cover will be building and mostly cloudy conditions can be expected by the middle of the day. A few sprinkles are possible during the afternoon and evening, but most will be staying dry.
