Bucket of Rain Heading Our Way

A frontal boundary has stalled out along the Missouri/Arkansas border and brought lots of clouds, drizzle, and fog along with it this evening.  The front is connected to a surface low pressure system that is currently centered in northeastern Oklahoma.  As that low shifts northeast into the Ozarks, It will provide enough lift for more showers overnight tonight and on Monday.  The real rain-maker will get here late Monday night when an upper level disturbance interacts with the aforementioned surface front.  Monday night into early Tuesday, expect showers and thunderstorms mainly south of I-44 and anywhere from 2-4 inches of rainfall. 

Watches and Advisories


As our surface temperature approaches our surface dewpoint, fog is likely to develop.  The national weather service has issued a dense fog advisory for all counties in Missouri along and south of I-44.  There is also a flood watch issued for all counties in the viewing area along and south of I-44.  November has already provided us with above average rainfall amounts so with another 2-4 inches expected in a short amount of time, localized flash flooding is likely.

The Holiday

Surface high pressure returns to the Ozarks Wednesday and Thursday afternoon and mostly sunny skies will dominate.  The high temperature on Thursday looks to top out in the low 60s and we'll stay dry throughout the evening.  For any black Friday shoppers out there, skies will begin to cloud up early on Friday and we have yet another chance for showers and thunderstorms by Friday afternoon and evening.  Take that umbrella along!


Have a great evening,
