It has been a dark and stormy night for much of eastern KS and
western MO; however, rain is expected to be mostly out of the area
by sunrise. While cloudy skies remain, temperatures are expected
to reach back into the mid to upper 60s for most of the area with
far NW MO around 60F and central MO in the low to mid 70s. As the
surface low which brought last nights storms moves toward the NE,
some wrap around light precipitation is possible for far NW MO.
Cloudy skies continue north of the MO River through Sunday with
highs once again in the 60s and 70s. The pressure gradient remains
quite tight as the low pressure center passes to the north
keeping winds gusty through Saturday and Sunday with generally
westerly winds around 15-20 MPH gusting to 25-35 MPH Saturday and
25-30 MPH Sunday.

The weather pattern remains fairly active after the weekend.
Another wave from the west CONUS spins up a leeward surface
cyclone this time across the southern Plains. Showers and
thunderstorms are possible Monday night into Tuesday morning as
the low pressure center passes over the area. Hot on its heels is
another storm system that looks to move through Wednesday and
Thursday bringing with it more chances for widespread showers and
thunderstorms. One might say spring has arrived as winds
consistently maintain 10-15 MPH thanks to diurnal heating,
temperatures fluctuate between highs in the 60s and 70s to lows in
the 40s and 50s, and routine waves of thunderstorms return.

A low pressure system is passing by the area to the NW then north.
At the moment, there is an area of clearing over the terminals.
Sky coverage increases through the morning as clouds wrap around
the low from the west. CIGs remain mainly VFR; however, some
MVFR CIGs are possible. Gusty winds move into the area from the
west aided further by solar heating this morning. Westerly winds
sustain around 15-20 kts through the day with gusts around 30-35
kts dissipating after sunset.
