Wednesday, December 18 forecast: Swinging temperatures bringing back winter feel

Rainfall continues to move out of the Ozarks early this morning. Missouri didn't see much rain in the state with most rainfall last night falling over northern Arkansas.

Today will be seasonally chilly and breezy. Temperatures will stall in the mid-40s this afternoon with wind chills in the upper 30s. Skies should break apart to become partly cloudy later today.

Tonight will be chilly in the upper 20s and Thursday will be another mild December day. Another cold front will blow through Thursday night and we'll be colder for a couple of days this weekend.

The pipeline of cold air will once again shut down approaching Christmas with milder weather through the Christmas holiday. There will also be another storm just ahead of Christmas, soaking the area just ahead of Santa's big ride. A mild pattern is expected to continue through the remainder of Christmas week.
