The wind has certainly been howling this afternoon and it was sure nice to see the sun for a little bit today. Temperatures comfortably rose into the mid to upper 60s, even 70s in some spots for much of the region. More of the same is in store for your Saturday with showers and even possibly a few isolated thunderstorms on Sunday.
Big Picture:
A high pressure system off the east coast and a low pressure system over the Great Lakes have put us into southwesterly wind flow, allowing moisture and warmer temperatures to stream into the region. These SW winds will stay around for most of the weekend keeping our temperatures above average for this time of year. A stalled out frontal boundary draped across Illinois and Missouri should keep the rain threat to the south of our region for most of the day tomorrow.
Developing low pressure to the west will increase our rain chances Saturday night into Sunday with enough warm air still present to produce a rumble of thunder or two. A cold front will sweep through the region Sunday evening bring much cooler temperatures behind it for our Monday.
Enjoy the unseasonably warm weather while it still lasts with a return to the upper 40s-lower 50s possible by early next week.
Have a great weekend,
-Alex Williams
