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


Skies remained cloudy over most of the Kansas City MetroRegion overnight as rainshowers moved eastward into northern & central Missouri early Sunday morning.
Temperatures moved little from daytime highs in the 60's- and ranged from the mid-50's to around 60-degrees in urban areas.
Some light fog was also reported.

Little change in cloud cover today- as frontal systems move toward the area Monday- producing heavier showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday morning. Some of those storms could approach severe levels later today and Monday over mainly the western half of the MetroRegion.

Temperatures will rise to near 80-degrees over about the southern half of the MetroRegion today and Monday- but will remain below to well below-average elsewhere through at least mid-week.

All eyes will then turn south to the Gulf of Mexico- where forecasted major Hurricane Ike is expected to affect the U.S. Gulf coast by mid-week.

The remains of Ike could affect MetroRegion weather as early as late next weekend.
