SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 245 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

The system that brought the snow and sleet to the region is pushing off to the east. A few flurries are lingering across portions of south central Missouri, but no additional accumulations are expected. These flurries should end in the next hour or two. The cold conditions will limit melting and the snow cover will continue to cause hazardous roads conditions into Monday. Black ice could be possible on roads where melting could occur causing slick spots tonight.

Clouds are clearing from west to east this afternoon with highs warming into the upper single digits to the lower teens. Surface high pressure and a cold air mass will be in place across the area tonight, and with the snow pack, lows will drop to zero to near 10 below zero. Winds will be on the lighter side tonight, but with the cold conditions the light wind will still produce wind chill values of 15 to 25 below zero tonight. An Extreme Cold Warning remains in effect until noon on Monday due to these cold temperatures. Highs on Monday will only warm into the teens again as the colder air mass remains over the area.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 245 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

The region will remain in an upper level northwest pattern through the week into next weekend. This will keep cooler and mainly dry conditions across the area. An upper level ridge will build towards that plains mid week and may allow highs to warm into the lower to middle 30s. Another upper level trough will move southeast through the region pushing the ridge back farther to the west with colder conditions with highs in the 20s each afternoon late this week into next weekend. Wind chill values in the single digits will be possible through mid week with wind chill values below zero possible late week into next weekend.

A dry air mass is in place and limited moisture return will occur ahead of the front and trough mid week, limiting the precipitation chances. A few flurries could be possible but overall mainly dry conditions are expected.
