Taney County work week #2 for March 2017!

MONDAY

My early take would be to just go ahead and write week #2 off as a casualty of winter as yet another cold air mass will move over the region behind the front on Monday. This will keep afternoon highs on Tuesday and Wednesday in the 40's and allow overnight lows to fall into the middle 20's Tuesday morning and the lower 20's and upper teens Wednesday morning. Will likely need Freeze Warnings for these mornings due to the early blooming fruit tree that are not affected by this weekends freeze.

WEDNESDAY

A clipper type system will move over the eastern Ozarks Wednesday night before a warming trend finally allows temperatures to climb into the 50's and 60's by the end of next week and into the weekend with showers and storms possible Friday and Friday night.

THURSDAY

Gusty south winds are expected with a continued warming trend as the remnants of the unseasonably chilly/dry air mass shift off to the east. Still, the eastern cwfa will see high temperatures somewhat below normal with highs in the upper 40's to near 50, while our western cwfa could be in the mid 60's. Cloud cover with low level moisture advection is expected to interfere with the diurnal temperature rise, particularly over our eastern counties. Couldn't rule out some drizzle, but am not putting that in the forecast for now.

FRIDAY

A shortwave moving into/through the Midwest will support a trailing cold frontal passage through our area. Low level moisture will continue to advect northward with surface dew points reaching the mid/upper 50's Fri. Warm air aloft/capping just below 700mb limits overall instability, so  it looks like there will be a good chance for showers/isolated thunderstorms over the far southern MO late Fri and Fri night.

SATURDAY, HOWEVER, IS SHAPING UP TO LOOK GREAT!
