Unseasonably warm and breezy weather expected Monday
MONDAY: Benton and Camden Counties are under a Red Flag Warning from 10 AM – 7 PM today. Burning anything during this time is hazardous as fires can spread quickly. Elsewhere, fires aren’t still recommended due to the very dry conditions we’ve been seeing. It will be unseasonably warm with temperatures climbing into the lower 70s today. The warm temperatures will be accompanied with breezy southerly winds and gusts as high as 25 mph.
TONIGHT: Tonight will see partly cloudy skies, with a very mild night across the region. Southerly winds up to 16 mph will allow overnight lows to only drop towards 50 by daybreak.
EXTENDED: Tuesday will also be warm with highs in the mid 60s with more clouds passing through. Our next best chance for rain holds off until Wednesday into Thursday morning as another cold front is set to track into mid-Missouri. Rain will be limited to light rain showers so heavy rain accumulation isn’t likely. Rainfall totals will only range up to .25″. The cold front will allow for a slow cooling trend by the middle of the week with temperatures back into the mid 50s by Wednesday. The first weekend of December looks nothing like winter as temperatures warm back into the mid 50s, reaching towards 60 on Sunday with plenty of sun and dry conditions.
