Welcome to October

Parts of northwest MO will struggle to reach 60F, meanwhile, most of us will see highs in the 70s and even mid 80s. Strong southerly winds will bring the real heat on Wednesday with many locations in the upper 80s. 

Relief comes late Wednesday into Thursday with a good chance of showers/isolated thunderstorms and cooler temperatures. 

As the weather pattern continues to evolve, precipitation chances continue for Friday and into the weekend.
