Colder weather to end the week
TONIGHT: Mostly clear skies will remain in place as lows drop to the upper 20’s to near 30 by morning. Southwesterly winds up to 15 mph will create for wind chills in the teens for the Wednesday AM commute.
WEDNESDAY: After a cold start to the morning, it will be a sunny but chilly day with temperatures in the mid 40’s along with a northwest wind at 10-15mph.
EXTENDED: With Mid-Missouri, placed on the westward extent of the upper level trough, we’ll continue to see reinforcing shots of cold air. The northwest flow aloft pattern will continue to pull waves of cold air into the region, with temperatures falling into the 30s for highs by Thursday and overnight lows near 20 with some upper teens possible. There is a chance we could see some flurries to light snow as we head into late Friday as a system tracks to our north. Accumulating snow is unlikely but we’ll monitor and have updates as needed. The weekend will see a slow warming trend as we remain dry. By the start of next week temperatures look to moderate back towards seasonal, as highs will top out in the lower 40s.
