Issued at 242 AM CST Fri Feb 7 2025 We remain in zonal flow aloft for a while with a sfc lee low pushing into the southern Plains tonight then into southern MO and southern IL tomorrow. This system brings rain chances back tonight through tomorrow night. Highs will be in the 40s today but then back above normal Saturday by 10-15 degrees with mainly 50s and 60s though a few places along the southern border could touch 70. Behind this system, on Sunday temperatures come back down closer to average in the 40s again thanks to cold sfc high pressure. By Monday afternoon another southern Plains system brings more precip to the area through Tuesday night. Colder temps this time around means the potential for some areas to see accumulating snowfall while others see a wintry mix. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain are all possible with this system. After a brief lull, a second system comes through on Wednesday and brings more of the same. It is still too early to nail down any impacts or amounts for these two systems. Keep an eye on changes to the forecast over the coming days. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
