High pressure over the Midwest resulted in abundant sunshine for Thursday. Skies are expected to remain clear overnight for the partial lunar eclipse, but if you’re planning to be outside for viewing it will be rather chilly with temperatures falling into the 20s.
Wanting to view the lunar eclipse? You're going to want plenty of layers as temperatures will fall into the 20s tonight. Full lunar eclipse details can be found here: https://t.co/rAAQIoRx8i #MidMoWx #MoWx #MidMo @KOMUnews pic.twitter.com/k6eK05Qst4

FRIDAY’S FORECAST
High pressure will be moving away from the region on Friday and that will allow for increasing cloud cover through the day. Temperatures will start on a chilly note, in the middle 20s, with afternoon temperatures warming to the lower 50s.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK
Cloud cover will continue to increase for Saturday, but it will be a mild day with highs in the upper 50s. If you’re headed to the Mizzou game or just looking to spend some time outside the forecast is looking seasonally mild.
A cold front will pass Saturday night into Sunday and have the potential to bring an isolated shower or sprinkle, but most of us will stay dry. This front will not bring much moisture to the region, but it will bring cooler air on Sunday with highs in the lower 50s.
LOOKING AHEAD
Temperatures will be significantly cooler on Monday with morning temperatures returning to the 20s and highs near 40°.
A warm up is expected for the middle of the week before another cold front brings a push of cooler air for the end of the week.
