Ready for some warm, pleasant spring weather? Hold that thought for a few days.

Sunshine has returned, but high temperatures will hover in the high 40s on Thursday and drop into the mid 20s overnight with a chance for light snow, according to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, Mo.

Be sure to cover up any sensitive plants Thursday evening.

Expect a repeat performance on Friday, with highs in the mid 40s and lows in the upper 20s. There is a 50 percent chance for snow after midnight.

The cool weather is likely to continue on Saturday, but a warming trend is expected to begin on Sunday with highs in the 60s and a slight chance for showers.

Monday and Tuesday could see sunshine and highs back in the 70s.
