November 21, 2015: An arctic blast?


While southwest Missouri has been given a nice late fall break through most of November, Saturday November the 21st will be a little bit of payback from Old Man Winter! (Apparently, he's nearby and perhaps getting just a bit antsy)!

The seasonal November weather regime we've all enjoyed will begin to move in to a more wintry mode beginning on Friday, November the 29th. Beginning that evening an area of low pressure will dive down across out area from out of the northwest. As moves overhead, moisture levels will be on the dry side, so the weather service is not too concerned about precipitation chances. Some people may see a few snow flurries, but there is no chance for any accumulation!

Right on the heels of the trough will be substantially colder air! Saturday will feel pretty crappy as temperatures will struggle to get out of the thirties! Any wind will only add insult to injury. Then, during the overnight hours, it will be very likely to see lows down in the twenties. It's even possible a few lucky individuals might get a dose of the teens! Holy Murgatroid!

The good news, short term, is that we will see temperatures warming back to seasonal levels (50's and 30's) as we enter the last week of November!
