As stated in the headline, we need rain. The chance this week is low overall, but there are a few opportunities for SOME rain. A weakening line of rain and thunderstorms coming out of Kansas will bring scattered very light rain or sprinkles to western Missouri where the highest totals will be just a couple hundredths of an inch. That’s not very helpful…
Another chance for scattered rain looks possible on Wednesday night and on Thursday night as a couple of cold fronts breach the region. Like tonight, these rain chances will be largely unhelpful, but count yourself lucky if you see any rain.
Temperature-wise, we will be warm in the low 80s through Thursday. A weak short-lived cold front will pass through on Wednesday night with minimal impacts on Thursday. A second front will pass through late Thursday into Friday. This front will help cool us off to the low 70s at the end of this week.
