Stan’s Outlook: Rain moving in throughout weekend

Saturday, Jan. 30, 2015 evening outlook

Well it looks like the rain will move into the Miss-Lou after midnight Saturday night and continue into Monday morning. A 90 percent chance of rain for Sunday pretty much guarantees us a wet day. A possibility of a thunderstorm in the mix over this time period cannot be ruled out. Stay aware

Temperatures will also drop after a very pleasant and partly cloudy Saturday. We can expect lows overnight Sunday into the 30s and bundle up for Monday night as it may possibly drop below 30 degrees into Tuesday morning.

The rain will return Tuesday night into Wednesday with temperatures ranging between the 50s and the 30s for the remainder of the week.

Not much has changed with the Mississippi River, currently at about 21.57 feet it is anticipated to fall to about 21.2 Saturday then a short rise and then hover in the 22 to 23 feet range.

Get outside Saturday and have a great and safe day, can’t promise very much nice anything after that.

Be safe and aware.
