Mild weather visits Mid-Missouri once again

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy skies and winds out of the south will keep temperatures from falling below freezing overnight. Lows will stay in the upper 30s to low 40s around the viewing area.

THURSDAY: Another unseasonably warm afternoon will be in store for Mid-Missouri for your Valentine’s Day. With continued southerly winds becoming breezy at times ahead of another approaching cold front, temperatures will push towards 60 by the afternoon, with the best chance of getting there in the southeast. That cold front will work through the area toward the evening, turning winds out of the northwest, but we look to stay dry.

EXTENDED: The biggest impacts of an approaching cold front look to be pushing temperatures back below freezing, setting the stage for another round of winter weather. Another upper level wave will move through Mid-Missouri after this front, bringing increasing snow chances throughout the afternoon on Friday. We could see some light accumulations with this system by the time it moves out Saturday morning, so roadways could some impacts leading off the weekend. After another cold and dry afternoon Saturday, another system moves in Saturday night into Sunday morning, bringing an additional shot of light accumulating snow. Temperatures look like they will stay at or below freezing for much of the next week as this unsettled pattern delivers reinforcing shots of cold air.
