Seriously, what season is this, monsoon or winter :?:

From the National Weather Service's 7 day forecast page for here;

"Tonight Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 1am, then rain after 1am. Low around 35. Breezy, with a north northeast wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.

Thursday Rain before 9am, then rain and snow between 9am and noon, then rain after noon. High near 41. Breezy, with a north wind 17 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. "

Missouri has a continental type of climate marked by strong seasonality. In winter, dry-cold air masses, unchallenged by any topographic barriers, periodically swing south from the northern plains and Canada. If they invade, reasonably humid air, snowfall and rainfall result. In summer, moist, warm air masses, equally unchallenged by topographic barriers, swing north from the Gulf of Mexico and can produce copious amounts of rain, either by fronts or by convectional processes. In some summers, high pressure stagnates over Missouri, creating extended droughty periods. Spring and fall are transitional seasons when abrupt changes in temperature and precipitation may occur due to successive, fast-moving fronts separating contrasting air masses.
