Tonight is another cold day with chills among the teenagers

Weak upper-level obstructions will develop late tonight along with another blast of cold air. StormTracker 7 radar continues to show a few snow showers over parts of eastern Missouri and NW Kentucky, and some of that limited moisture will change our direction later this evening. Small flurries of snow are possible by the evening, no travel problems are expected. Skies will clear again late tonight with temperatures dropping to around 19 early Tuesday morning!

TODAY:

Widespread frost until 10 am. Otherwise, increasing cloudiness, with a maximum around 42-44. Light and variable wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Snow is possible in places in the afternoon and evening.

Pack up any time today as it will be cold even after lunch as the NW winds pick up around the time our high temperatures peak in the afternoon. The combination of increasing winds and cool highs below 40 degrees will make it feel pretty cold at any time.

TONIGHT:

Today is likely to be the coldest day of the cold snap. Tonight will begin with mostly cloudy skies, with some light snow possible early. The sky will begin to clear in the early hours of the night. Overnight lows will be in the upper twenties, with a light breeze bringing a wind chill to the lower twenties, possibly even the upper single digits. You’ll want to attend the Jackson Christmas Parade.
