Monday Morning December 12

TODAY: Clouds will be clearing east of US 63 through sunrise leaving a sunny, but cold start. Temperatures will dip to the low 20s with a wind chill of 14-16 for the morning commute. After sunshine this morning, clouds will work their way back in by noon-2pm or so. Afternoon high temperatures will be slightly below normal in the upper 30s with a west/northwest wind becoming southerly by evening.

TONIGHT: Clouds look to increase tonight bringing overcast conditions. Temperatures will dip to the upper 20s before the next blast of arctic air returns on Tuesday.

EXTENDED: There is a slight chance for winter precipitation of mainly a rain/snow mix from 3AM-7AM near the Lake of the Ozarks on Tuesday morning. We’ll start off Tuesday in the 20s, with temperatures not varying too much during the day. Look for a mostly cloudy sky in the morning, followed by sunshine during the afternoon. Temperatures will drop to the teens by Tuesday night. Once the Arctic cold front passes, a high pressure system will build causing freezing temperatures to dominate the Midwest from Wednesday through Friday. A warm front looks to lift by Saturday bringing temperatures to the upper 30s and a chance for rain and snow during the day. For additional weather updates follow @ABC17Stormtrack on Twitter.
