KEY MESSAGES
- There is a 20% chance of sprinkles/flurries tonight. No accumulation or impacts expected. Many locations will remain dry.
- Cooler conditions into early next week then warming back into the 60s.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/
Issued at 103 PM CST Fri Feb 20 2026
20% chance for sprinkles/flurries tonight: - Impacts: None expected since accumulations are also not expected and air temperatures through most of the night should be near to above freezing. - Synoptic overview: Shortwave energy over the Rockies will shift north of the area tonight. Dry low level air will limit or prohibit precip from making it to the ground. - Additional info: Temperatures through much of tonight will be above freezing, dropping below late at night when any precip tapers off. Even after temps drop below freezing, relatively warm ground temperatures will prevent any of the very light precip from accumulating.
Rest of the short term (Saturday through Monday): - Impacts: Single digit wind chills Sunday night into Monday morning. - Additional info: Surface high pressure becomes increasingly dominant. No precip expected with highs generally in the mid 30s to mid 40s and lows in the mid teens to mid 20s. Single digit wind chills are possible Sunday night into Monday morning.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Issued at 103 PM CST Fri Feb 20 2026
Warmer conditions: - Impacts: None expected. - Additional info: The amplified upper pattern of a trough over the eastern CONUS and ridge over the west breaks down some, sending warmer air east into our area. - Look for highs mainly in the 60s. - Potential cold front may bring cooler conditions late week.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
Issued at 523 PM CST Fri Feb 20 2026
Some sprinkles are developing in portions of eastern Kansas and western/central MO, but they are struggling to overcome dry low-level air and reach the surface. Conditions are still expected to remain VFR, but ceilings in the 6-9kft range will develop overnight as a result of this activity.
