Sunshine and cooler weather will continue across the Ozarks today with an afternoon high near 70.

There's a 30% chance for thunderstorms tonight, staring in central Missouri and moving into the Ozarks during the predawn hours Saturday. The National Weather Service says severe storms aren't expected, but a few thunderstorms could produce small hail.

On Saturday, partly sunny skies are in store with a 50% chance for thunderstorms and a high of 75.

There's a better chance for scattered storms Sunday into Monday, with the possibility of small hail, gusty winds, and frequent cloud to ground lightning. No widespread severe weather is expected.

Highs on Sunday and Monday will hit 80 degrees with lots of sunshine, but again, some areas may be under one of those scattered storms, while other folks will stay dry. 

Please be aware of storms if you're going to be on area lakes or rivers this holiday weekend. Head to shore when you hear thunder or see lightning.
