.LONG TERM...  (Monday Night through Next Sunday)
Issued at 230 PM CST Sun Feb 25 2018

Dry and mild weather to persist through Tuesday with highs by
Tuesday in the low to mid 60s.

Wet pattern to return to region beginning Tuesday night. First in a
series of shortwaves to lift out of the southwestern US into region.
Instability will be limited with just some isolated thunder for
central and southern portions of forecast area through Wednesday
morning, then precip to briefly taper off during the afternoon
hours.

Precip chances ramp back up by Wednesday night as main upper level
shortwave over SW US begins to lift northeast towards region. 12z
GFS and ECMWF remain in decent agreement with associated surface low
moving into central MO by 06z Thursday and rapidly deepen as it
slides northeast through area. Low to quickly drag cold front
through area by midday Thursday with showers and a few thunderstorms
coming to an end. With such deepening of surface low, will see
northwest winds pickup on backside of system. Still possible that we
could get some wrap around precip as well, but for now models are
indicating activity will be just northeast of forecast area.

Beyond that, dry and mild weather for next weekend.
