Sunday Evening, November 27

TONIGHT: A warm front that passed mid-Mo Sunday afternoon brought the first wave of rain throughout the day time hours. Due to the passing of that warm front, along with thick cloud coverage, temperatures will remain in the lower 50s during the evening hours. Also expect windy conditions into tonight with winds around 13-16 mph and gusts around 26 mph out of the south. The chance for rain remains present into the overnight hours. Areas north of US 24 could see rain accumulate to around 0.25″ to 0.5″. Areas south of US 24 could see anywhere around 0.1″ to 0.25″ of rain.

MONDAY: Morning temperatures will be mild due to the heavy cloud cover retaining the heat near the surface. The chance for scattered rain and possible thunderstorms will carry out all day Monday due to the passing of the cold front. The best chance for the second wave of rain will be in the afternoon for areas along and east of I-44. Anywhere from 0.1″ to 0.5″ can be expected for the southeast portion of our viewing area. The high temperature is expected to reach the 60s due to warm southerly wind pouring into Mid-Missouri during the day. Winds will also persist strong and out of the south at 10-15 mph with gusts reaching as high as 29 mph. The frontal passage is expected by the evening time, so isolated showers are possible until conditions begin to clear out overnight Monday.

EXTENDED: Colder air moves in by next Tuesday with highs maxing out at 50 degrees. Dry conditions, sunny skies, and colder temperatures are expected for the rest of the week. Highs will stay in the 40s into the weekend. For additional weather updates follow @ABC17Stormtrack on Twitter.
