.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 301 AM CST Sun Nov 1 2026

The heavier rain showers are currently over central MO and the
eastern Ozarks and will continue to push northeast for the rest
of the morning. Most of the area saw rain showers yesterday with
some places getting up to 0.5". Drizzle has been occurring over
the last few hours over western MO early this morning. There`s
still plenty of lift and moisture hanging around behind the main
rain shield to produce drizzle awhile longer. Expect drizzle to
continue through the late morning/early afternoon as the
shortwave continues to push east. Visibilities may be
temporarily reduced in the heavier patches of drizzle. Skies
today will be cloudy with highs only reaching the mid to upper
60s, which is only a few more degrees than where they are now.
Winds will be out of the southeast through the day and stay near
10 mph or less. Skies will remain cloudy overnight with lows
settling into the 50s.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 301 AM CST Sun Nov 1 2026

We`ll start to feel the impacts of the incoming trough on Monday
as southeasterly winds become gusty near 30-35 mph by late
morning with the strongest gusts along and west of Highway 65.
Rain chances begin to increase overnight Monday into Tuesday
(50-90%).

There is still a Marginal to Slight risk of severe weather
possible for areas along and west of I-49 with the Slight being
further west. Timing for severe weather is Monday afternoon/
evening. Right now, the best severe risk still appears to be
over central KS, with the western CWA getting clipped. This is
likely due to the base of the trough going through that area
before the trough becomes elongated as it moves over us due to
another incoming mid-level trough over the Great Lakes region.
All modes of severe weather are possible with this system as
supercells will initiate first just to our west. By the time it
gets to our area, guidance is showing the convection forming a
line of storms as it pushes through. This storm mode would favor
more of a QLCS than supercells. Though, the instability is
still a bit lacking, the wind shear and SRH will be conducive
for severe weather. If storms stay severe as they enter our CWA,
they will likely occur west of I-49 with storms becoming less
severe as they push further east into a less conducive
environment. KS and OK may see the majority of the severe
weather, with us seeing some rumbles of thunder and beneficial
rainfall of 1 to 2 inches through Tuesday. Rain will taper off
by Tuesday morning.

The low pressure system that moves through at the beginning of
the week will drop our temperatures, but only by about 10
degrees. Though, it will bring them closer to average for this
time of year with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s for the
rest of the week. Another low pressure system will bring low-end
rain chances by mid-week (15-20%).

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1225 AM CDT Sun Nov 1 2026

A system continues to move through the area overnight and into
Sunday morning. Areas of scattered light rain chances persist
through the early morning hours, before dissipating from west to
east. Expect reduced visibilities around 4 to 6 miles at KJLN
and KSGF. Further reduced visibilities approaching 2 miles or
less at KBBG as we progress through the early Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, ceilings will continue to deteriorate with
widespread MVFR to IFR ranging from 500 to 1500 feet. LIFR
ceilings around 300 feet envelop KBBG. Light rain chances
gradually diminish through Sunday morning, with IFR to MVFR
ceilings lingering into the later part of the TAF period.
