SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 1200 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

An upper level ridge is moving east into the Plains today and will move over the region early this week. As a result a warming trend will begin today as highs warm into the middle 60s. Lows tonight into Monday morning will range from the upper 30s across the eastern Ozarks to the lower 40s across extreme southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri. There could be slightly cooler conditions across the eastern Ozarks in protected areas and valleys where some patchy frost could be possible early Monday, but widespread frost is not expected. Afternoon RH values will be drop into the 35 to 50% range.

Light winds and clear skies will be in place across the area today through Monday. There could be the potential for some patchy fog tonight into Monday morning across portions of the area.

Highs on Monday will warm into the upper 60s to near 70, which will be around 5 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. Afternoon minimum RH values will once again be in the 35 to 50% Range on Monday afternoon.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 1200 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

The above normal temperatures will continue on Tuesday as highs warm into the around 70 degrees again around 10 degrees above normal.

An upper level trough and a cold front will move through the area on Wednesday. There are some slight timing differences between the models but the front will be slowest to move through the eastern portions of the area where highs around 70 will once again occur on Wednesday. Further east and north, highs in the middle to upper 60s will occur as the front passes through. The air mass right behind the front will be slightly cooler, a secondary upper level trough and front will move south through the region Wednesday night into Thursday bringing cooler temperatures to the area late week.

A drier air mass will be in place and much of the area will likely remain dry with the frontal passage on Wednesday but as the front moves east slightly better forcing and moisture will result in the potential for some showers and maybe a few rumbles of thunder east of Highway 65 on Wednesday. Additional light rain will be possible Wednesday night into Thursday with the upper level trough.

A cooler air mas is expected to move into the area late week behind the system. Highs in the upper 40s to the upper 50s are expected Thursday and Friday. Lows in the 20s and 30s are expected Friday and Saturday mornings.
