From the discussion of 11:49 p.m. Fri Oct 16, current when the day began

Freeze Warning for parts of northeast Kansas and northwest and north Missouri, Frost Advisory for most other areas, until 9 AM Saturday; 70s and 80s by midweek.

From the NWS discussion issued 11:49 p.m. Fri Oct 16.

The forecast

  • Friday evening: Winds die down, leftover clouds clear out, and temperatures fall into the 30s.
  • Late Friday night into Saturday morning (North of Interstate 70; rest of the area): Parts of the area north of Interstate 70 will likely drop into the low 30s, near to below freezing. The rest of the area gets down into the mid-30s.
  • Saturday and Sunday: Quiet weekend with little if any cloud cover. Temperatures climb back into the 60s, especially on Sunday.
  • Next week: Quiet weather continues, with temperatures back in the 70s and 80s by the middle of the week.
  • Late next week into the weekend: A weather system from the west is expected to move in. Exact timing and effects are still to be seen.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters say the low 30s north of Interstate 70 are likely. The late-next-week system's timing and effects remain to be seen. The outlook calls the chance of widespread hazardous weather Saturday through Thursday low.

What changed from the discussion before

  • For late next week, the earlier discussion expected a storm system from the west to move in, with uncertain timing. The new discussion instead keeps the warm, dry-leaning high pressure in control through the rest of the work week.

Where the NWS text was unclear

  • The latest Hazardous Weather Outlook (issued Friday morning) mentions a Freeze Watch, but both discussions say a Freeze Warning is in effect; the outlook appears to be older.
  • The key messages place the Freeze Warning in northeast Kansas and northwest and north Missouri, while the discussion text mentions only northeastern Kansas and northwest Missouri.

Discussion

This forecast package looks to remain mainly dry with a warming
trend through the period. Early this morning a surface ridge of high
pressure is building into the area. Clear skies and light winds are
providing a good radiational cooling set up allowing lows to start
this morning in the low to mid 30s. A freeze warning is in effect
until 9AM for northeastern Kansas and northwest Missouri and a frost
advisory is in effect for much of he rest of the forecast area. After
the chilly start to the day, temperatures will remain below normal
today as the area remains under cool northwest flow aloft and the
aforementioned surface ridge of high pressure remains in control.
However, sunny skies will aid in temperatures rising into the upper
50s to lower 60s. Tonight, the surface ridge axis will slide south
and east of the area allowing weak warm advection to develop in its
wake. This will hold low temperatures in the mid 30s to lower 40s
keeping patchy frost relegated to just sheltered area. Sunday, the
upper level flow across the central CONUS will become quasi-zonal
and weak WAA will continue at the surface. This will allow
temperatures to return to near seasonal normals with highs in the
mid 60s.

Monday, a upper level trough will look to dig into the west coast.
This will allow upstream, low-amplitude, upper level ridging to
build over the central CONUS. This couple with continued modest WAA
will allow high to move back about normal in the upper 60s to lower
70s. Tuesday, the upper level ridging across the central CONUS begin
to become more amplified. These height rises will aid in high
warming into the low to mid 70s. Tuesday night, a shortwave rounding
the upper level ridge acts to briefly flatten the ridge and brings
the only really chance for isolated showers (less than 20%) to the
area mainly across northern Missouri. Wednesday, the upper level
ridge continues to become more amplified pushing highs into the mid
70s to the lower 80s. This upper level ridge will remain in control
of the area through the remainder of the work week as WAA increases
across the area allowing high son Thursday and Friday to rise into
the upper 70s to mid 80s.

The numbers then

Not recorded: wxexplained began keeping the NWS forecast numbers on November 6, 2026.

From the 1:47 p.m. discussion

Patchy frost possible in a few low-lying spots tonight, then a dry, warming week with highs building into the 70s and 80s.

From the NWS discussion issued 1:47 p.m. Sat Oct 17.

The forecast

  • Tonight (Whole area; frost only in a few low-lying spots): Lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s. This could bring patchy frost in a few low-lying spots.
  • The upcoming week: Dry weather with a gradual warming trend. Air temperatures higher above the ground warm a few degrees each day, driving that warming.
  • Wednesday and beyond: Temperatures are likely to be above normal, building into the 70s and 80s. Forecasters give it a >70 percent chance of above-normal temperatures.
  • Late next week into next weekend: The stuck weather pattern is expected to start breaking down late next week, with rain chances building next weekend. Rain may hold off until just beyond the seven-day forecast.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters say above-normal temperatures are likely by midweek, with a >70 percent chance from Wednesday on. The timing of next weekend's rain is less settled.

What changed from the discussion before

  • This morning's Freeze Warning and Frost Advisory (alerts for near-freezing temperatures this morning) ran until 9AM. They are no longer in the key messages, which now focus on a dry, warming week. (Northeastern Kansas, northwest Missouri and much of the rest of the area)
  • Earlier, there was a small (less than 20%) chance of isolated showers Tuesday night, mainly across northern Missouri. The new discussion calls for dry conditions throughout the week. (Mainly northern Missouri)
  • Tonight's lows are now upper 30s to lower 40s, up from mid 30s to lower 40s. Patchy frost is still possible in a few low-lying or sheltered spots. (Whole area; frost in a few low-lying spots)
