clear skies have allowed temperatures to climb into the 60s

- Gusty northwest winds will continue through the afternoon, with sustained winds of 15-20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph.

This is expected to continue through sunset this

- A few sprinkles are possible (25-30%) Thursday morning along and east of I-29/I-49.

While the best forcing will remain east of the area, closer to the core of the shortwave, enough lift may (25-30% chance) be present across northern MO to squeeze some sprinkles, or perhaps a bit of drizzle, out of the low-level clouds that are expected to be present tomorrow morning.

The most favorable timing for this looks to be between 6 AM and 12 PM for areas along and east of I-29/I-49.

As the shortwave continues to move southeast, forcing will subside and the forecast returns to a dry state tomorrow afternoon.

This second cold front will also bring another shot of cooler air to the area, which will help to limit high temperatures to the upper 40s and lower 50s tomorrow.

High pressure begins to build into the Lower Missouri River Valley tomorrow afternoon, which will allow winds to become very light (less than 5 mph) and skies to clear through the overnight period.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 20s to around 30F across northern MO by Friday morning.

This will likely result in the first hard freeze of the year, however, with the growing season already behind us, no Frost/Freeze products will be issued.

Highs will largely be in the upper 40s and lower 50s each day, with lows dropping into the upper 20s and lower 30s each night.

This forecast is 5-10 degrees below the seasonal normals for this time of year.

The next chance for precipitation comes Sunday afternoon into Monday morning (20-30% along and south of the MO River) as a shortwave moves across the Central Plains.

This will allow temperatures to climb back towards, or sightly above, seasonal normals (mid-50s) through the first half of next week.

Model guidance has been shifting this feature further south with each run, so trends will need to be monitored over the coming forecast cycles to determine the exact placement of any precipitation.

This will still be a situation to protect any sensitive outdoor plants despite the lack of any headlines.

This will allow for much of the state to see temperatures below freezing, getting down to the mid 20s.

Highest chances remain to our south and west, but exact totals and spatial coverage for our area will become more clear as we get closer to the weekend.

The clearing skies tonight will lead to the coolest night of the season thus far across the region with lows in the upper 20s in most locations.

A light north breeze through the night will push wind chill values into the lower 20s, perhaps the upper teens in isolated locations.

Canadian high pressure will continue to build into the region on Friday keeping temperatures below seasonal norms for this time of year.

Clear skies and light winds Friday night into Saturday morning will once again lead to the coolest temperatures of the season, and a hard freeze region-wide (50-90% chance of temperatures less than 25 degrees F, greatest east of I-35).

Shortwave building east from the west coast will bring a chance of rain to the southern plains on Sunday, but dry airmass in place will likely keep the region dry through the weekend and keep any precipitation chances south.

- Temperatures returning at or slightly above seasonal norms next week (highs in the mid 50s, lows near freezing).

Temperatures return closer to seasonal norms early next week with omega block developing across the central US keeping the region dry through the first half of the week.

West coast trough eventually weakens and lifts northeast, potentially creating a chance of light rain late next week.
