EXTENDED: The cold gets worse over the weekend, with temperatures on Saturday afternoon near 10 degrees at best, and winds around 10-20 mph gusting at times to 30 mph. This will continue into Saturday night, where wind and cold could produce wind chill values in the 20-30 below range, prompting a Wind Chill Warning from the National Weather Service through noon on Sunday. Sunday will be about the coldest day, with highs forecast in the single digits. A round of snow will visit the region, but likely pass south of most of mid-Missouri, limiting accumulations to less than an inch for most. Cold lingers through Wednesday morning, where we could see a brief return to the 20s or 30s for highs.
