Monday, December 2 forecast: Cold to warm, warm to cold

Happy Monday! We start the work week cold with temperatures this morning in the mid to low 20s. You may need to give your windshield a quick scrape for frost before heading out this morning. Later today, temperatures will stay cold in the upper 30s.

Central Missouri will likely be colder today with temperatures closer to freezing. This is because extra cloud cover is expected farther north of Springfield today. There may also be a few snow flurries through the afternoon west of Highway 65 today and north of Highway 60.

Tonight will be our coldest night since late February with temperatures in the upper teens and low 20s. Plan for more frost on Tuesday morning.

Expect another chilly day on Tuesday except this time it'll be sunny. Temperatures around 40° will keep climbing on Wednesday.

Enjoy the milder weather on Wednesday because another cold front Wednesday night brings in another round of cold air. Temperatures fall back to the 30s for highs on Thursday. A warming trend though does quickly establish itself again. We're back to the 50s to near 60° this weekend.

Chances for precipitation this week, both rain and snowfall, are looking slim to none. If you are hoping for a snow day, you're going to have to be patient. It could be a quiet and cold couple of weeks coming our way.
