JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The flags of the United States and the State of Missouri at all government buildings in Missouri will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday in honor of Missouri`s Peace Officers Memorial Day.

The day commemorates the sacrifices of the federal, state, county and municipal peace officers who have been killed or disabled in the performance of their duties.

It was designated by a 1996 state law.

Even Mother Nature is taking a bit of a spa break today, aside from a some cumulus clouds developing there is really no significant weather happening around the KC region today. Highs should max out in the 70-75° and we’ll tack on another 5° tomorrow, with another 5° added to that on Tuesday…eventually we’ll reach the mid-upper 80s by the end of the week with rain chances that continue to look rather low for the next 7 days.

With that said, and as I’ve talked about recently, we are entering the wettest time of the year and for what it’s worth sometimes little disturbances can generate at least the chance of rainfall. My guess is that the atmosphere would be too dry to support much of anything, but for the sake of argument the GFS is spitting out a wave, and has done so for the last couple of days for the end of the week. Here it is…you can clearly see it moving through the middle part of the country on Thursday PM
