SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED TO THE NORTH OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN NORTHCENTRAL MISSOURI WITH AN AREA OF LIGHT RAIN IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. THE SHORTWAVE IN SOUTHWEST IOWA SHOULD MAINLY AFFECT AREAS TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE CWA.

AIR MASS TO MODIFY A LITTLE ON THURSDAY WITH TEMPERATURES A CATEGORY OR TWO WARMER.

THE 12Z MODELS NOW WASH THE FRONT OUT EVEN BEFORE IT REACHES NORTHERN MISSOURI. THE FURTHER NORTH PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT IS A RESULT OF UPPER LOW PRESSURE EVOLVING FURTHER NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CANADA. HAVE CONFINED SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TO NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS LOOK TO BE DRY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL WARM WELL ABOVE NORMAL...AS WINDS TURN MORE SOUTHERLY ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND BENEATH UPPER RIDGING.

NARROW AXIS OF MOISTURE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THIS FRONT ACROSS EASTERN MO INTO IA. WEAK FLOW COMBINED WITH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY APPEARS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PATCHY DENSE FOG WHICH HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE KMCI AREA.

GIVEN PROXIMITY OF UPPER LOW...NARROW AXIS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND WEAK FORCING ALONG SURFACE BOUNDARY...HAVE MAINTAINED POPS ACROSS ENTIRE CWA TODAY...WITH HIGHEST POPS (60S) ACROSS NORTHEAST WHERE BETTER MOISTURE RESIDES.
