<><><> OVERNIGHT WEATHER <><><>


A cloud cover overnight kept temperatures from falling much below freezing- aided by brisk southerly winds. That will help produce a warm-up today with temperatures ranging from the upper-40's to lower-50's around the MetroRegion.


The weather will stay seasonable and dry till about mid-week- as a winter-type storm system begins to affect the Central States late next Wednesday and Thursday.
There will be a chance of rain changing over to frozen precipitation close to the Kansas City Metro by late next Friday night or early next Saturday.
Stay tuned to CSW for the latest updates....
