Pattern is expected to begin to break down late next week as east coast trough weakens and shifts southwest along the coast.

A deepening trough along the west coast will gradually inch eastward late in the week, leading to building rain chances next weekend, though the trend has been towards a slower solution keeping precipitation chances just beyond the seven day forecast.

- Dry conditions expected through the week with low probabilities returning for the weekend for far NW Missouri.

Models show a front pushing into northwestern MO and northeastern KS late Saturday into Sunday.

That front will provide a forcing mechanism for showers before washing out and lifting northward again.

There is some uncertainty in this though.

About 45% of 500mb clusters show the ridge axis roughly splitting Missouri.

The remaining clusters are either further east or weaker overall with the ridging by late in the week to the weekend.

Stronger ridging that is further west would inhibit precipitation chances.

Weaker ridging or further east ridging would allow precipitation chances to shift further east.
