From the discussion of 2:36 p.m. Wed Nov 4, current when the day began

Cooler through Friday, with a 40-60% chance of lows at or below freezing Friday night into Saturday morning, especially northeast Kansas and parts of northern/central Missouri.

From the NWS discussion issued 2:36 p.m. Wed Nov 4.

The forecast

  • Rest of today and tonight: Low clouds hang on, with possible isolated mist or sprinkles the rest of the day. Skies clear overnight, and lows stay in the low 40s. A west breeze should keep fog from forming.
  • Tonight into Thursday (Northern Missouri for rain chances; whole area otherwise): A cold front turns winds to the north/northwest and brings low clouds back by afternoon. Northern Missouri has a 15-25% chance of light rain or drizzle tonight into tomorrow. Daytime temperatures stay in the 50s.
  • Friday: North winds cool temperatures down more by the end of the work week.
  • Friday night into Saturday morning (Whole area; frost/freeze especially northeast Kansas and parts of northern/central Missouri): Lows are forecast in the low 30s and even the high 20s, with light winds. There is a 40-60% chance of lows at or below freezing, especially in northeast Kansas and parts of northern/central Missouri.
  • Late weekend into early next week: Drier and warmer, with no rain in the forecast and temperatures starting to warm into the 60s by the late weekend under clear skies.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters give a 40-60% chance of below-freezing lows Friday night into Saturday morning, and the most recent forecast model runs are trending colder. They say the trends need to keep being watched. Light rain chances in northern Missouri tomorrow are low (15-25%).

What to watch

Frost or freeze

(Especially northeast Kansas and parts of northern/central Missouri)
  • The air is expected to dry out quickly Thursday, which would limit the light rain chances in northern Missouri. (Northern Missouri)

The numbers then

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

From the 3:26 a.m. discussion

Increasing chance of freezing lows Friday night; Freeze Warning, Frost Advisory likely. Northern Missouri drizzle chance this morning; warm, dry late weekend–early next week.

From the NWS discussion issued 3:26 a.m. Thu Nov 5.

The forecast

  • Thursday (today) (Rain chance: northern Missouri; clouds: whole area): Northern Missouri has a slight 15-20% chance of light rain or drizzle this morning. Low clouds build back in across the region by this afternoon.
  • Thursday night into Friday morning: Clouds hang around into Friday morning, keeping overnight lows in the low 40s.
  • Friday: Steady north winds bring in much colder air.
  • Friday night into Saturday morning (North/central Missouri; more urban areas): Lows are forecast in the upper 20s in north and central Missouri and the low 30s in more urban areas. Cold temperatures and light winds favor frost or freeze.
  • Late this weekend into early next week: Warm and dry weather returns, with highs climbing back into the 60s.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters say the chance of freezing lows Friday night is increasing, as computer models keep trending colder and show a very favorable setup for dropping below freezing. They don't give a percentage this time.

What changed from the discussion before

  • Frost/freeze alerts for Friday night went from 'may need to be considered' to likely being issued: a Freeze Warning where it drops below 32 degrees and a Frost Advisory elsewhere. (Freeze Warning: areas below 32 degrees; Frost Advisory: remaining areas)
  • For Thursday, the earlier discussion expected the air to dry out quickly; now clouds are expected to linger into Friday morning.
  • The light rain/drizzle chance in northern Missouri was 15-25% and is now 15-20%, focused on this morning. (Northern Missouri)

The numbers then

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

From the 3:04 p.m. discussion

Low drizzle chance tonight into Friday morning; frost favored areawide Friday night, best freeze chances generally east of US-63; then warmer and dry.

From the NWS discussion issued 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5.

The forecast

  • Tonight into Friday morning: A low 10-15% chance of drizzle that fades by Friday morning. Lows in the high 30s to low/mid 40s, so any drizzle should cause minimal problems.
  • Friday daytime: Cool, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Lingering low clouds could keep it cooler than forecast.
  • Friday night into Saturday morning (Frost: whole area; freezing: generally east of US-63): Temperatures are favored to drop to frost levels across the area. Generally east of US-63 there is a 50-75% chance of below-freezing temperatures. Light winds help frost/freeze form.
  • This weekend into early next week: Warming and dry with clear skies and south/southwest winds. Highs back into the 60s by the start of next week, lows back into the 40s.
  • Wednesday and after: A weather pattern shift is expected around Wednesday, but the rest of the forecast still looks warm and dry.

How sure forecasters were

Forecasters say computer guidance still favors frost-level temperatures areawide, and conditions remain favorable for frost/freeze, though cloud cover adds uncertainty. The outlook says the chance of widespread hazardous weather is low.

Residual low cloud cover could serve to keep temperatures cooler than forecast during the daytime, with further reinforcement of cold air from north/northwesterly winds through the vertical profile prompting greater CAA.
NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5
As of now, guidance still favors temperatures falling at/below frost criteria areawide, with more focused chances for below freezing temperatures generally east of US- 63 (50-70%).

- Continued chances (50-75%) for below freezing temperatures overnight Friday into Saturday morning, generally east of US-63.

- Warmer, dry forecast through the weekend into the early half of next week.
NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5
Surface high pressure sliding off towards the east will shift winds out of the south/southwest in the low levels, and clear skies will help contribute to a warm up of temperatures back into the 60s by the start of next week, with lows warming back into the 40s.
NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5
The atmospheric flow remains quasi-zonal through the early half of next week, before a mid-level ridge begins to amplify across the western half of the CONUS and a trough axis digs down from the northern Plains by Wednesday.

NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5

Why the forecast might change

  • If clouds linger Friday evening into Saturday morning, they would hold heat in and keep overnight lows higher than forecast, lowering the frost/freeze risk.
  • Leftover low clouds and northerly winds could keep Friday daytime temperatures cooler than forecast.
Read the NWS wording
The persistence of this cloud cover tomorrow evening into Saturday morning could dictate how low temperatures are able to fall, which has some impact on the potential for frost/freeze.
NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5
However, with greater cloud cover, efficient radiational cooling will be inhibited, which would keep overnight lows higher than forecast.

Residual low cloud cover could serve to keep temperatures cooler than forecast during the daytime, with further reinforcement of cold air from north/northwesterly winds through the vertical profile prompting greater CAA.
NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Area Forecast Discussion, 3:04 p.m. Thu Nov 5

What changed from the discussion before

  • For Friday night, the earlier discussion forecast lows in the upper 20s for north/central MO and low 30s in urban areas. The new one focuses the freezing chance generally east of US-63 and notes clouds could keep lows higher. (Previous: north/central MO and urban areas; now: generally east of US-63)
  • The earlier discussion said a Freeze Warning (for areas below 32 degrees) and a Frost Advisory (for remaining areas) would likely be issued for Friday night. The new discussion no longer mentions plans to issue them, though it still says conditions favor frost/freeze.
Read the NWS wording
As of now, guidance still favors temperatures falling at/below frost criteria areawide, with more focused chances for below freezing temperatures generally east of US- 63 (50-70%).
