A tight pressure gradient is set across the Ozarks with low pressure to the west and high pressure to the east. Winds could exceed 30 mph Sunday through Tuesday. Breezy conditions come to a close Tuesday evening as a cold front approaches.
Memorial Day is looking beautiful if you are paying respects outdoors. Highs will reach the mid 80s under sunny skies. There’s a chance a few showers could develop late into the evening, but the chances are sitting at less than 20%.
The warm weather will continue Tuesday with little change in the forecast. Higher humidity begins to return early next week. The ridge of high pressure will begin to break down about Wednesday.
This will lead to scattered thunderstorms. A series of disturbances will provide a chance for storms Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. There’s a chance some storms could become strong to severe. Temperatures will cool with highs dropping to the mid 70s by week’s end.
