Severe weather and flash flooding is not expected tonight, but will cause slick roads for the evening drive. Rain accumulation of less than 0.25″ is expected for most areas, with locally higher amounts near 0.50″ to 0.75″ across Osage, Callaway, Montgomery, and Gasconade counties. Winds look to become light overnight from the southwest, shifting by daybreak on Wednesday will a northwesterly wind. Temperatures will be well above normal overnight in the mid to upper 40s before the cold front sweeps through on Wednesday. Normal lows typical for November 22 are near 32.
