Chilly Tuesday but warming for Thanksgiving
TONIGHT: Clear skies early in the night provides for radiational cooling as temperatures drop back into the mid 20s, but clouds will begin to build by morning. With steady winds out of the northwest up to 11 mph, it will be a chilly and raw start to the morning with feels like temps in the mid teens. Bundle up early Tuesday!
TUESDAY: Clouds will clear out and we’ll see sunshine but it will stay chilly. High temperatures will stay in the upper 30s to low 40s with winds shifting to the west to southwest up to 10 mph.
EXTENDED: Thankfully the cold weather will only be here briefly, as winds backing around out of the southwest bring us a nice couple of days starting Wednesday. It’ll be the first time this month that Mid-Missouri has seen unseasonably warm temperatures, which couldn’t come at a better time on Thanksgiving as we reach the upper 50s with sunshine for the holiday. By Black Friday our next chance of rain returns, moving in from the west by late morning and continuing through the afternoon with high temperatures near 50. Saturday looks mostly dry with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Another storm system, developing to our south will bring a chance of rain Sunday followed by colder air. If this storm system slows down, we could see snow behind it by Monday. There is still uncertainty on position and timing which we’ll pin down as we go through the week. If you have travel plans for Sunday into Monday, keep an eye on the forecast.
