.KEY MESSAGES...

- A Freezing Fog Advisory is in effect for the eastern Ozarks
  from 12 AM to 9 AM Wednesday. Visibilities may drop below 1
  mile at times and ice may form on untreated or elevated
  surfaces.

- Watching for a potential brief band of snow or freezing
  drizzle Wednesday evening into Wednesday night. Current
  probability for precipitation is around 15%, but that may
  need to be increased in future updates. Any precipitation
  would last less than 3-4 hours.

  part temperatures remain near or below normal (46-52 F is
  normal range for early December).

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 155 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025

Freezing fog is expected to form over the eastern Ozarks overnight
due to radiational cooling and sub-freezing temperatures.
Visibilities may drop below 1 mile at times and ice may form on
untreated or elevated surfaces. A Freezing Fog Advisory is in
effect for the eastern Ozarks from 12 AM to 9 AM Wednesday.

Quiet through Wednesday with lows tonight in the low to mid 20s
and highs tomorrow in the 40s.

A strong cold front shifts south through the area late Wednesday
into Wednesday night. Low level moisture and lift following the
front may lead to narrow band of light wintry precip Wednesday
evening into Wednesday night. Models vary in the amount and
placement of the moisture and lift, reducing confidence in
precip coverage, chances, and type. Right now the forecast
features a 15% chance for a light wintry mix (realistically
lasting no more than 3-4 hours in any location, if it occurs).
There could be some travel impacts as temperatures fall into the
mid teens to mid 20s overnight, but confidence is still too low
on other details to have a handle on details.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 155 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025

Models brought back a 15% chance of light freezing rain over far
south-central MO (southeast of West Plains) Thursday night, but
confidence that precip will impact the CWA is quite low and
will depend on the exact track of shortwave energy.

Models remain all over the place for the weekend, with some
showing some precip over the area. NBM PoPs remain less than 15%
given the lack of agreement or continuity.

Other than that, look for highs in the 30s Thursday and in the
40s Friday into early next week. Lows are forecast to be in the
20s, with the exception of Saturday night with lows around 30.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 525 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025

VFR through the period with light southerly winds persisting for
the rest of tonight and most of tomorrow. A cold front moves
through by Wednesday evening bringing clouds and turning our
winds out of the north again. Winds will stay around 15 knots or
less.
