TUESDAY - THANKSGIVING
across southeastern Kansas and the
Missouri Ozarks from late this morning into this afternoon.
The 00Z GFS spits out some light QPF
with this front late this morning and early this afternoon, however
inspection of forecast soundings indicates that the low levels will
be too dry to support a mention of rain showers. We will see quite a
bit of cloud cover today, especially in the upper levels of the
atmosphere.
The passing front and cloud cover make
high temperatures a tough call today. We are getting a fairly warm
start this morning with most areas in the 40's. We should therefore
be able to warm into the middle to upper 50's for highs. It should be
noted that temperatures may actually steady off or even begin to fall
behind that front north of the Interstate 44 corridor this afternoon.
Surface high pressure will then build
south across Kansas into northern Oklahoma Tuesday late. It looks
like a rather chilly night under clear skies with lows dipping into
the lower to middle 20s.
With that high remaining west of the
region, we will maintain a north wind overnight in the 5-10 mph
range. This will drop wind chills into the middle and upper teens.
Northwesterly flow aloft will persist with occasional short wave
energy diving southeast in the flow. These passing short waves will
do nothing more than drag dry cold fronts through the region every
three to four days. This will bode well for anyone with travel plans
across the region from Wednesday through the upcoming weekend.
As you would expect, temperatures will
fluctuate in this type of pattern. We will see a nice warming trend
starting on Thanksgiving with highs warming well into 50's. Highs in
the 60's are then expected for Friday before temperatures cool back
down a bit for next weekend.
