...FROST POSSIBLE IN LOW-LYING AREAS FRIDAY MORNING...

A strong cold front will move through the region this afternoon,
causing temperatures to drop into the low to mid 30s across
northwest Missouri. Increased surface winds should prevent
widespread frost from forming, however, frost development is
possible in low-lying areas early Friday. Sensitive vegetation
will need to be protected as a result. Widespread freezing
temperatures are then expected Saturday morning.
