Areas of freezing fog to develop into Thursday night
TONIGHT: Cloudy skies remain through the night with the likelihood of fog developing. Overnight lows bottom out near freezing, with areas at or below the freezing mark to see freezing fog. Winds out of the north up to 9 mph could limit just how much fog we see, but expect to run into areas of fog tomorrow morning. While we stay dry through the night, patchy drizzle can’t be ruled out across far southern Mid-Missouri.
FRIDAY: Watch out for areas of fog tomorrow morning, with slick spots possible in areas that are below freezing. With cloudy skies in place it will take any fog time to mix out, but by the afternoon hours most spots should be fog free. Another seasonal day is expected with a late day high near 50, as the warming trend continues. We stay dry through the majority of Friday, but storms increase from the southwest ahead of our next system that will bring widespread rain and an isolated strong storm into Friday night.
EXTENDED: Heavy rain and storms stick around through early Saturday morning, with rain eventually tapering off as the system tracks to the northeast. A few lingering showers could stick around into Saturday afternoon, but most areas will be dry through the day. Highs will top out near 60 degrees to start of December, but only briefly. Colder air will filter in behind the cold front Sunday, leading to falling temperatures and the return of winter. While some wintry mix can’t be ruled out for Sunday north of I-70, most areas should stay on the dry side. A better chance for a wintry mix arrives as we head into Monday, as a weak upper level disturbance tracks through the region. While the system will be moisture starved, a light wintry mix can’t be ruled out. All of next week keeps temperatures below seasonal values, with highs struggling to climb out of the 30s.
