KEY MESSAGES
- Watching for a potential brief band of snow or freezing drizzle Wednesday evening into Wednesday night. Current probability for precipitation is around 15%, but that may need to be increased in future updates. Any precipitation would last less than 3-4 hours.
- Periods of warm-ups and cool-downs this week, but for the most part temperatures remain near or below normal (46-52 F is normal range for early December).
SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
Issued at 155 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025
Quiet through Wednesday with lows tonight in the low to mid 20s and highs tomorrow in the 40s.
A strong cold front shifts south through the area late Wednesday into Wednesday night. Low level moisture and lift following the front may lead to narrow band of light wintry precip Wednesday evening into Wednesday night. Models vary in the amount and placement of the moisture and lift, reducing confidence in precip coverage, chances, and type. Right now the forecast features a 15% chance for a light wintry mix (realistically lasting no more than 3-4 hours in any location, if it occurs). There could be some travel impacts as temperatures fall into the mid teens to mid 20s overnight, but confidence is still too low on other details to have a handle on details.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Issued at 155 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025
Models brought back a 15% chance of light freezing rain over far south-central MO (southeast of West Plains) Thursday night, but confidence that precip will impact the CWA is quite low and will depend on the exact track of shortwave energy.
Models remain all over the place for the weekend, with some showing some precip over the area. NBM PoPs remain less than 15% given the lack of agreement or continuity.
Other than that, look for highs in the 30s Thursday and in the 40s Friday into early next week. Lows are forecast to be in the 20s, with the exception of Saturday night with lows around 30.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
Issued at 525 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025
VFR through the period with light southerly winds persisting for the rest of tonight and most of tomorrow. A cold front moves through by Wednesday evening bringing clouds and turning our winds out of the north again. Winds will stay around 15 knots or less.
