301 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

.DISCUSSION...

SKIES REMAIN CLOUDY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE UPPER 40S TO MID 60S.
A LARGE AREA OF RAIN CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THIS AREA OF RAIN HAS LITTLE THUNDER ASSOCIATED
WITH AN RAINFALL IS NOT PARTICULARLY HEAVY. WITH THAT IN MIND WILL
CANCEL FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT 330 PM CST. WILL ALSO REMOVE MENTION
OF SEVERE WEATHER FROM THE HWO.

THE COLD FRONT IS PUSHING INTO FAR WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT WITH RAIN ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST BY SUNDAY
MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO TURN COLDER BEHIND THE FRONT
LATE TONIGHT WITH LOWS SUNDAY MORNING IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON SUNDAY. AS IT DOES
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND START TO BRING INTO COLDER
AIR INTO THE REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL NOT BE MUCH
WARMER THAN THEY WILL BE IN THE MORNING. CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR
SUNDAY NIGHT AND COMBINED WITH LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO DROP IN THE LOW TO MID 20S OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY MONDAY
MORNING. MONDAY WILL BE SUNNY BUT CHILLY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER
30S TO LOWER 40S.

BY MONDAY NIGHT...THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD BE EAST OF THE REGION
ALLOWING WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AND BRING SOMEWHAT MILDER AIR
INTO THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE AS COLD MONDAY
NIGHT WITH LOWS TUESDAY MORNING IN THE MID 20S TO AROUND 30
DEGREES. TUESDAY WILL BE DRY AND A LITTLE MILDER WITH HIGHS IN THE
40S TO AROUND 50 DEGREES.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL HAVE LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH
AHEAD OF IT SO NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. THE AIR BEHIND THIS
FRONT WILL BE MUCH COLDER THAN THE AIR WE WILL SEE MOVING INTO THE
REGION ON SUNDAY. LOWS WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BE MAINLY IN THE
20S.

AS BRISK NORTH WINDS BLOW ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT WARM UP TOO MUCH WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S
TO MID 30S. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE VERY COLD
AS LOWS THURSDAY MORNING IN THE TEENS. IN ADDITIONAL WINDS OF
AROUND 10 MPH WILL PUSH WIND CHILL READINGS TO THE SINGLE DIGITS
TO NEAR ZERO. THURSDAY WILL NOT REMAIN DRY AND CHILLY WITH HIGHS
IN THE 20S.

BY THURSDAY NIGHT...WINDS SHOULD RETURN TO THE SOUTH SO
TEMPERATURES WILL START TO MODERATE SOME. BY FRIDAY MOST LOCATIONS
WILL SEE HIGHS IN THE 30S. BY FRIDAY NIGHT...A WARM FRONT WILL
START TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. AS THIS DOES MOISTURE WILL START TO
INCREASE AND THERE WILL BE A SMALL CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. AT
THIS POINT...IT LOOKS AS THOUGH PRECIPITATION WILL START OUT AS
SOME SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN BUT THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS
TIME. BY NEXT SATURDAY...AS TEMPERATURES WARM TO ABOVE FREEZING
ANY FROZEN PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE OVER TO RAIN.
