FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Several Rounds of Rain Possible This Weekend

Several additional rounds of rain are possible as we enter the weekend. The first arrives early Saturday morning as warm air pushes into the Ozarks. The activity is expected to be isolated and end by mid-morning. Lows will settle to the mid 60s.

Much of Saturday should be nice! A partly cloudy warm day is forecast with highs in the mid 80s. Strong to possibly severe storms will explode by evening. The worst of the storms will be in eastern Kansas and far western Missouri.

As the storms travel east to Highway 39, they should weaken just enough to hold down the severe weather threat. Still moderate hail and gusty winds are possible with the strongest storms. Pockets of very heavy rain are also likely. This may produce flooding across those same western counties.

A cold front will be crossing the Ozarks Saturday night and wind up in north Arkansas by Sunday morning. A few additional areas of rain are possible Sunday afternoon. Winds Sunday will come from the north and draw in cooler air. Highs will dip to the upper 70s.

Next week still looks like some gorgeous early fall weather. No rain is forecast next week with plentiful sunshine. Morning lows will drop to the mid 50s. Afternoon’s will be quite pleasant with highs around 80 degrees.
