Tracking a system that will bring more significant rainfall and a bit of a cool down

TONIGHT: After a cloudy start to the day, satellite is showing some clearing off to our west. A clearing line near Kansas City this morning will try to make it here later this afternoon. Despite the cloud cover, highs this afternoon will climb back into the mid-to upper-60's. Some sprinkles are possible through the evening, but mostly dry conditions will prevail. Some clearing is likely this evening, with more cloud cover developing along a warm front overnight.

WEDNESDAY: The aforementioned warm front will be tied to a large cold front that will bring rain areawide through Wednesday evening. Showers are possible as early as sunrise on Wednesday, but after the warm front lifts north we should see somewhat of a lull in precipitation before the main event Wednesday evening. The best chance for widespread rain and thunder looks to approach our western counties closer to the 10 p.m. - 12 p.m. time frame Wednesday night.

EXTENDED: On Wednesday, temperatures will climb into the 60’s one last time this week. Once the rain moves in, it will be here until early Thursday morning, dumping about 0.50”-0.75” of rain. Behind it, on Veteran’s Day, sunshine will return but flags around the area will be pressed against a westerly breeze. Winds gusting up to 25 mph will likely stay here through the weekend. Highs will drop from the 60’s on Wednesday into the 50’s Thursday. They’ll cool off even more into the 40’s for the weekend. We’re tracking a quick-moving system that could bring some short-lived rain chances to Saturday night.
