.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026

A cold front is currently draped across the bi-state in a line
extending from Kansas City northeastward through Keokuk, IA and
beyond. Northern and central Missouri have been feeling the
resulting rain with MRMS estimated totals measuring generally 1 to 3
inches over the past 24 hours. In our region, rainfall estimates are
struggling to reach an inch. There is still plenty of time, though.
Central Missouri northeastward into west-central Illinois are still
forecast to receive 1 to 2 inches total between now and tomorrow
morning with locally higher amounts possible. These locally higher
amounts will be driven primarily by any embedded thunderstorms that
are able to develop. The HRRR and RAP are excited about this
potential as seen in modeled instability which flows into
reflectivity and precip totals via rainfall efficiency. In reality,
the rain shield has been and continues to be much less robust than
modeled due to a MUCAPE difference of a few hundred J/kg. The low
instability values, sporadic subsidence in the column, pockets of
dry air aloft, and weakening low-level jet are all mitigating
factors for heavy rainfall. For that reason, the REFS LPMM of 1 to 2
inches maximum outside of the aforementioned areas seems reasonable.
With that said, if any embedded thunderstorms do become robust, high
rainfall rates may produce be able to produce brief flash flooding,
especially in urban areas.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026

The cold front and accompanying rainfall will have mostly cleared
the area by Friday afternoon, and we`ll notice the difference. High
temperatures are forecast in the 60s areawide - a 10 to 20 degree
drop from today - and lows will fall into the 40s and 50s Friday
night. These lows will stick around for the next week, so dust off
your jacket if you haven`t already. You won`t need the jacket by
afternoon, though, as highs are expected to climb into the 70s each
day. A secondary cold front moving through the region early next
week will help keep things in check as well as scour out any
lingering moisture from the region. In short, next week will be
cooler, dry, and perfect for outdoor activities.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1101 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026

Scattered areas of light showers will continue to slide eastward
into the region over the next several hours with an end to the
activity expected from north to south later tonight. Brief MVFR
visibilities are possible within the stronger showers. A cold front
has passed to the south of all local terminals bringing in scattered
to broken low MVFR/IFR ceilings and northerly surface winds. A
return to VFR and dry conditions is expected from north to south
early this morning into the late morning. By tomorrow afternoon, dry
and VFR conditions are forecast for the entire area for the
remainder of the period with light northeasterly winds.
