From the discussion of 12:53 p.m. Fri Oct 2, current when the day began

Mild, dry weekend with highs in the lower and mid 70s; warmer next week, with perhaps mid 80s well south of U.S. Hwy. 50.

From the NWS discussion issued 12:53 p.m. Fri Oct 2.

The forecast

  • Today (Friday): Clear skies with drier and cooler air behind a cold front.
  • This weekend, daytime: Mild and dry, with the clear, drier pattern continuing. Highs reach the lower and mid 70s.
  • This weekend, early mornings: A bit cooler early in the day, with upper 40s to lower 50s possible. Light winds may help some fog form, but the air may be too dry for it to become widespread.
  • Start of the work week: Dry. Weather systems and their rain chances stay north of the area.
  • Middle of next week (Whole area; mid 80s only well south of U.S. Hwy. 50): Warmer air gradually brings afternoon highs back to the upper 70s and lower 80s, with perhaps mid 80s for areas well south of U.S. Hwy. 50.
  • Through the next 7 days: The forecast stays dry. A weak disturbance could perhaps bring light showers, but the chance of measurable rain is under 10 percent.

How sure forecasters were

The discussion doesn't say how confident forecasters are overall. Computer model groups put the chance of measurable rain under 10 percent, and fog is only a 'may', with dry air possibly keeping it from spreading.

What to watch

The NWS discussion didn't flag anything.

Why the forecast might change

  • A weak disturbance could perhaps bring some light showers, though the chance is under 10 percent and the forecast is kept dry.
  • Weekend morning fog depends on moisture: light winds may help fog form, but the air may be too dry for it to become widespread.

What changed from the discussion before

  • The weekend is now described as mild, with highs in the lower and mid 70s. The earlier discussion called it cooler and fall-like, with another cold front Saturday night; the new one doesn't mention that front.
  • Some fog is now mentioned as possible on weekend mornings, though maybe not widespread.
  • The earlier discussion singled out Wednesday, with a weak front and a 5-10% chance of measurable rain. The new one doesn't name Wednesday and puts the 7-day chance under 10 percent, still keeping it dry.

The numbers then

Not recorded: wxexplained began keeping the NWS forecast numbers on November 6, 2026.

From the 2:37 a.m. discussion

Dry, seasonable weekend with highs in the low to mid 70s; turning warmer than normal next week, with dry weather expected all seven days.

From the NWS discussion issued 2:37 a.m. Sat Oct 3.

The forecast

  • Today (Saturday): Dry with a light east wind. Highs in the low to mid 70s, similar to or slightly warmer than Friday and very close to normal for early October.
  • Sunday: A weak front passes through and keeps the air dry. Temperatures near normal to slightly above normal.
  • Tuesday: Winds turn to come from the south, and temperatures climb back above normal.
  • Second half of next week: Highs climbing to 10-15 degrees above normal.
  • Next seven days, including Thursday night (whole area; northern Missouri for Thursday night): Dry all week. The only small chance is Thursday night in northern Missouri, around a 5% chance of rain, because the air looks too dry for more.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters give a greater than 95% chance of dry weather for the whole forecast, since there isn't enough moisture for rain.

Why the forecast might change

  • A weather disturbance passing mostly north of the area Thursday night could give a small lift to the air over northern Missouri, but for now the air looks too dry for more than around a 5% chance of rain. (northern Missouri)

Where the NWS text was unclear

  • The discussion says Thursday night is the only time with more than a 0-5% chance of rain, but then gives Thursday night around a 5% chance, so the difference is very small.

The numbers then

From the 1:53 p.m. discussion

Mild and dry this weekend, warming through the work week; highs in the lower 80s south of Interstate 70, and breezy winds possible Tuesday.

From the NWS discussion issued 1:53 p.m. Sat Oct 3.

The forecast

  • This afternoon (Saturday): Cool and dry, with highs in the low to mid-70s.
  • Sunday: A weak cold front passes through, keeping the air dry and highs in the 70s, with winds coming more from the north.
  • Tuesday: Breezy south to southwest winds are possible, mainly in the afternoon.
  • Through the work week (whole area; lower 80s south of Interstate 70): Warming up by the middle of the work week, with temperatures back into the upper 70s and highs in the lower 80s south of Interstate 70.
  • Next 7 days: The forecast stays dry, with a 10 percent or less chance of measurable rain. That should let elevated river levels keep falling this week.

How sure forecasters were

Forecast models keep the chance of measurable rain at 10 percent or less, so forecasters are keeping a dry forecast. The outlook says the chance of widespread hazardous weather is low.

From the 5:53 p.m. discussion

Dry, mild weekend with highs in the 70s; warmer through the work week, with lower 80s south of Interstate 70. No rain expected.

From the NWS discussion issued 5:53 p.m. Sat Oct 3.

The forecast

  • Saturday afternoon: Cool and dry, with highs in the low to mid-70s.
  • Sunday: A weak cold front passes through, keeping the air dry, and highs stay in the 70s.
  • Tuesday: Breezy south to southwest winds are possible, mainly in the afternoon.
  • Through the work week (whole area; lower 80s south of Interstate 70): Warmer by the middle of the work week, with temperatures back into the upper 70s. Places south of Interstate 70 get highs in the lower 80s.
  • Next 7 days, through Friday: Dry weather is expected all week. That gives high river levels a good chance to keep falling.

How sure forecasters were

The models forecasters use put the chance of measurable rain at 10 percent or less, so they are keeping the forecast dry. The chance of widespread hazardous weather is low through Friday.
