Tracking a warmer & sunny start to the week

Good morning and happy Monday!

It's a cool start across northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas, with temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s. We're also tracking areas of patchy frost and fog this morning, which could lead to reduced visibility in some locations, especially near the Missouri River.

Temperatures will rebound nicely this afternoon, climbing into the upper 60s to low 70s under mostly sunny skies. Conditions will remain dry, with highs running well above seasonal averages.

A cold front is expected to move through late tonight into early Tuesday morning. However, colder air will be slow to move in behind the front, allowing temperatures to remain relatively mild Tuesday. Highs will once again reach the upper 60s, just a few degrees cooler than Monday.

A more noticeable cooldown arrives by midweek, with highs falling into the upper 50s Wednesday, the 50s Thursday and upper 40s Friday.

Fortunately, the cooler weather won't stick around for long. Temperatures will rebound heading into the weekend, with highs returning to the upper 50s and low 60s.

Overall, we'll stay relatively dry throughout the workweek, with very limited rain chances. Expect a mix of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies through Friday.
