SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 1211 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

Zonal flow will stick around for the first half of the week bringing us a slight warm-up today and tomorrow. Highs will reach the lower 70s and skies will be sunny. Winds will be out of the south-southwest and remain at 10 mph or less. Dewpoints have been a bit drier today while hourly temperatures have been warmer than forecasted. Min RH values will be in the 30-45% range today, but will be in the 40-55% range tomorrow as dewpoints increase by 10 degrees as a more moist air mass moves into the area. Overnight low temperatures will be in the 40s tonight with lows a bit warmer Tuesday night as clouds creep in from the west ahead of the next low pressure system.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 1211 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

A cold front moves through the area on Wednesday as a mid-level low pressure system moves in from the northwest. Northwesterly winds will become gusty behind the front by Wednesday afternoon gusting near 30 mph. Winds stay elevated through the night into Thursday morning, but will slowly diminish through the day. Rain chances have all but disappeared with this frontal passage. This is likely due to the better forcing staying closer to the base of the trough which will traverse through NE MO and keep the rain chances further north. Though, it will bring a cooldown for us with a 10 degree high temperature drop from Wednesday into Thursday. Highs will be in the 50s for the end of the week into the weekend with lows the coldest they've been all season. By Friday night, low temperatures dip into the mid 20s and 30s with the coldest temperatures occurring east of Highway 65. No rain chances expected Friday into Saturday as mid-level high pressure moves into the area. By Sunday, another low-pressure system moves into the Central Plain region. This system has a 15% chance of bringing rain to our area. We'll continue to monitor the forecast to see if these rain chances stick around.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
