Warm surge!

A storm system to the north is pulling a warm front through, and after highs today in the 50's and 60's, we will see a big push of warm air on Thursday. Highs on Thursday should top out in the 60's and 70's around the area with gusty southerly winds of 15-30 mph. The breezy conditions will continue Thursday night with lows in the 40's and 50's.

Friday will be just a touch cooler, with more northerly winds, highs will be in the 60's and lows in the 40's. But then again on Sunday, another big push of warm air will enter the area and highs may be almost identical to Thursday with highs in the 60's and 70's.

There is a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday with potential for severe weather across Central Missouri, but it just doesnt look right, but that is still a few days away.

This warm air should last through around next Tuesday, as another cold air mass enters the picture mid next week, but will there be precipitation associated with it? I think there will be some nearby, but it is unlikely with this weather pattern that we will be affected by another major snowstorm next week. It certainly is possible though..
