TODAY: Friday is mostly cloudy, with a few breaks of sunshine. Just how much sun makes it through will greatly determine our afternoon high temperatures, but we expect enough sun to get highs into the low 70s near Columbia. This is slightly warmer than what we felt on Thursday, and more in line with Wednesday’s

TODAY: Thursday is forecast to be another mild and dry day. Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies are forecast today, in a similar fashion to Wednesday. Many may start clear, but low clouds are moving in from the east, and high clouds from the west. This will leave those in the west brightest through the

TODAY: Wednesday is dry and mild, with temperatures that are very seasonal. We expect highs in the 70s, right in line with what is considered average for September 23rd. TONIGHT: Temperatures should have no problem cooling back into the low 50s, close to the 40s for some in the northeast. EXTENDED: Partly cloudy skies and

TODAY: Tuesday is the coolest day this week, with temperatures expected in the 60s and 70s at the warmest this afternoon. This is largely thanks to clouds and spotty drizzle and light showers that all work to keep us cool. Precipitation chances are low, but skies are overcast through the morning. Some breaks in the

TODAY: Friday is another hot day, with heat indexes as high as 100 to 105 degrees this afternoon along and south of HWY 24. Bright skies are expected, but some clouds in the north at sunrise will drift south towards I-70 before low clouds bubble up this afternoon south of I-70. This will give many

TODAY: Thursday is another hot one, as the National Weather Service has expanded and extended the Heat Advisory in both space and time. The advisory now includes Boone, Callaway, and Montgomery counties through Friday, while areas to the south are covered through Saturday. We expect daily heat indexes in these areas to range from 100

TODAY: Wednesday starts with a chance for showers and thunderstorms, mostly north of I-70. Temperatures will start in the 60s and 70s before climbing to near 90. Heat indexes are likely to reach 100-105 south of I-70, where a Heat Advisory is in effect. Much of the day will be dry, if not the entire

TODAY: Showers and thunderstorms will keep the region in light to heavy rain through at least sunrise. As the morning progresses from 7 a.m. through noon, rain intensity and coverage will both lessen. Humidity remains in place today, but temperatures struggle to warm out of the 70s given persistent rain and clouds. Drier weather is

TODAY: Wednesday will be warm, with highs likely in the 90s. This is as most will reach the 90s ahead of a slow-moving cold front that is on our northern doorstep this morning. As the front passes, a sharp drop in temperatures is expected. This is partly because of rain behind the front, which may

TODAY: Tuesday brings warmth back into the forecast after a relatively nice Memorial Day. As we all head back to work, the week starts warm with highs in the 90s, feeling like 103-105 in the central to western portions of the viewing area. In the east, some will only reach heat indexes in the upper

TODAY: Thursday is another hot day and an ABC17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day. Especially with outdoor activities surrounding Mizzou’s home opener, today’s heat could be dangerous. Heat indexes are expected in the 103-107 range today. An Extreme Heat Warning has been issued for Boone, Callaway, Audrain, Cole, Moniteau, Osage, Gasconade, Monroe, and Montgomery counties through

TODAY: Wednesday is hot and sunny, again, much like each day so far this week. Expect highs in the upper 90s, and heat index values in the 100s. TONIGHT: Some cumulus clouds are expected to develop this afternoon, but these will fall with sunset. Clear skies are expected, but temperatures only fall into the 80s

TODAY: Tuesday is another hot and sunny day. Temperatures are expected to be very similar to Monday, with highs in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees. Heat indexes are expected in the low triple digits at most. Clear skies are present this morning, but a few cumulus clouds will develop this afternoon. TONIGHT: Heat

Dew points should remain in the 60s today, leaving heat index values near 100 degrees. TONIGHT: Temperatures remain warm overnight, in the mid-70s, except in

TODAY: Friday is another sunny and mild day, much like Thursday. Winds are light and variable with high pressure overhead this morning, but generally, air flow will be from the north through the first half of the day, before winds become easterly and southeasterly this evening. This gives us another day with highs in the

TODAY: Thursday is mostly sunny, but importantly, it also feels much cooler than Wednesday. Highs in the low-to-mid 80s with dew points in the 60s will be a recipe for a very comfortable late summer day. For reference, Wednesday’s heat index was in the mid-90s in Columbia, and today will feel more like the mid-80s.

TODAY: We are tracking a few rain and thunderstorm chances today, with two potential rounds both focused in the southeast. An upper-level shortwave will support a limited shower and thunderstorm chance this morning. This will wind down or exit by 9 a.m. to noon, before a cold front drifting in from the north instigates isolated
