.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 130 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025

Moisture advection has moved into the area and has kept us
socked in for most of the day. Clouds have been low and haze has
settled in. The lower clouds are starting to slowly erode from
west to east. Winds have been variable and temperatures have
stayed a bit cooler due to the thick cloud cover. Highs will be
reach the mid to upper 50s and skies will still be cloudy for
most of the day. Rain moves in overnight after midnight. This
will be our first round of light rain but we won`t have much
accumulation. Tonight low`s will be in the upper 40s with mostly
cloudy skies.

Tomorrow is the day we`ll see the highest rainfall accumulation
across the area with the highest totals falling near central MO.
The rainfall accumulation totals are still on track with 0.5-1"
falling north of I-70 and 1-1.5" falling south of the
interstate. Widespread flooding isn`t expected but there may be
nuisance flooding in urban areas. Tomorrow`s highs will be in
the low to mid 60s with cloudy skies. Rain will persist through
most of the day on Friday with a front moving in overnight into
Saturday. Highs Friday and Saturday will be very similar in the
50s but Saturday the clouds will start to clear out making for a
nice fall day. Sunday will also be dry and highs will be in the
lower 60s.

Next round of rain returns Monday with a 20-40% chance of rain
with the incoming low pressure system. Then, another pattern
change is on the way with a strong cold front moving in by mid-
next week. Stay updated with the latest forecast especially if
you are traveling for the holidays!

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...

This is an uncertain forecast as guidance is highly variable
with the potential for and timing of low ceilings and
visibility. But the trend seems to be for IFR ceilings to
develop and/or spread into the area again late tonight/early
tomorrow morning. Leaning on the latest available HREF,
probabilities jump from 10% to >30% for IFR ceilings to
develop/spread into the area between 10Z and 12Z with
probabilities decreasing late in the morning to early afternoon.
Given that trend, have added some IFR to low MVFR ceilings to
the forecast with some reduced visibilities as well. Winds look
light/variable through the forecast. Additionally, there is a
low chance for rain showers overnight as well. These will likely
have little or no impact on terminals as it is most likely to
occur prior to ceiling and visibility restrictions.
