246 AM CDT SAT OCT 17 2015
.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 0248 AM CDT SAT OCT 17 2015
A rather chilly night is underway this morning, especially across
the eastern Ozarks, where temperatures have dropped into the 30s
in many spots. A Frost Advisory continues for portions of the
eastern Ozarks and central Missouri through 8 AM. Readings over
western Missouri and southeastern Kansas haven't fallen quite as
much as initially expected, as an area of high cloud cover has
started to move into the area from the northwest.
Temperatures today will only warm into the upper 50s and low 60s,
with a light east to northeast wind.
Canadian high pressure will continue to drop south into the Ohio
Valley tonight, with frost again possible along and east of US 63.
A Frost Advisory will again be issued for this area from 1 AM
through 8 AM Sunday morning.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 0248 AM CDT SAT OCT 17 2015
Temperatures will start to increase Sunday, especially over
western Missouri and southeastern Kansas, as southwest winds at
the surface and ridging aloft move into the area. Even warmer
temperatures are expected by Monday, with highs well into the 70s.
Will need to watch fire weather on Monday, with southwest winds
becoming a bit gusty by afternoon, and RH dropping below 30
percent.
Above average temperatures will continue through the workweek,
with highs each day in the mid to upper 70s. RH values will drop
to between 30 and 35 percent each afternoon.
Any rain chances look to hold off until at least next weekend, as
the upper level pattern is looking increasingly "blocky" over the
CONUS.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night)
Issued at 1145 PM CDT FRI OCT 16 2015
VFR conditions expected as high pressure slides nearby. A mid/high
level cloud deck will move overhead but will scatter out during
the day Saturday. Light winds are expected.
