About this listen

 Good afternoon. Missouri. I'm Matt Mullins. Spring is showing off today. Step outside right now and you're basking in 52 degrees under pure sunshine. High pressure sliding east is pumping in that southwest wind. And it's bringing the warmth. Today's a stunner. Clear skies statewide with highs climbing into the upper 60s and low 70s. Kansas City hits 68 degrees. St. Louis and Columbia reach 66. Springfield tops out at 67. Southwest winds gust to 23 miles an hour, so it'll feel breezy but pleasant — perfect weather for a Sunday stroll if you ask me. Tonight stays mild. Clear skies hold with lows dropping to the mid to upper 40s. South winds ease to around 10 miles an hour. Monday's the big show. Sunshine continues as temperatures soar into the upper 70s statewide. Kansas City could challenge the 77-degree record from 2021. St. Louis pushes 77. Springfield climbs to 79. Southwest winds gust to 23 miles an hour again. That's 31 degrees above normal for early March — Then Tuesday everything changes. We're tracking a storm system with multiple threats. Highs reach the low 80s before storms fire up. The setup includes severe weather potential — large hail, damaging winds. And tornadoes all possible Tuesday afternoon into evening. Eastern Missouri faces the highest risk. Heavy rainfall is also likely, with storm totals of 1 to 2 inches and locally higher amounts where storms train. Flooding becomes a concern Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday the cold front sweeps through. Rain ends by evening. Highs drop to the low to mid 50s behind the front. The rest of the week rebounds nicely. Thursday through Saturday brings sunshine and highs in the upper 50s to low 70s. One quick note — spring forward tonight. Clocks move ahead one hour at 2 A.M. See you this evening.
