Warmer changes on the way for this weekend. Highs for Saturday will climb into the middle to upper 30s. A few spots like Sedalia and Warrensburg may reach into the lower 40s. There will be a brief period of time early Saturday morning when we will see the most sunshine. However, clouds are already starting to crowd in southwestern Kansas as of 6AM. These clouds will move through our region this afternoon. The majority of the day will stay dry. Models still are painting some precip from Kansas City southward after 7PM. This should begin as rain and some sleet might try to mix in...but overnight it switches to snow. The best places to pick up this precipitation will be South of a line from Ottawa to Paola to Butler. But, if this storm twitches slightly North, could bring the precip closer to KC. Little to no accumulation is expected.

That system should be out by first light Sunday morning. Sunshine returns and highs will climb into the middle 40s.

Another system arrives for Monday. Rain showers and even a few isolated thunderstorms are possible. The main portion of this storm system may travel to our north, but we'll still get something out of it. Colder air moves in by Tuesday morning changing the precip to snow. The heavier snow accumulations might line up in eastern Missouri. Highs for Tuesday will be in the middle 30s.

Warmer and more quiet at the end of the work week. Forecasting mainly clear skies Wednesday through Saturday. Highs by next Saturday will be in the middle 40s.
