Beautiful Day!
What a beautiful afternoon! A big bright blue sky, and temperatures in the lower 50s. Wow!
We will see a reinforcing shot of cooler air for Thursday and Friday... but then things should warm up big again as we head into the weekend. You can see this on our 850mb (5,000ft) temps. First, for Thursday evening:

Notice there is cooler air riding into KC on Northerly winds. But then things change as we go into Saturday afternoon:

Highs on Saturday could be into the 60s again!
Meantime... the weather stays quiet right through the weekend, too.
Now let's take a look at the possible Monday/Tuesday storm. Compare this to Gary's image last night... and you can see that it is slightly different:

Do you see how it is not as amplified/deep as last night's run? That slight change could mean the difference between storm and NO storm for us. We'll continue to watch it!
Have a great afternoon!

Could March April, and the first 2 weeks of May be very Tranqil and dry for us here. But, there could be a very differnt situation for the Upper Mississippi river system. Im beginning to wonder if the the normal spring gulf flow fly up eastern Missouri and Iowa clash with Southern Canadian born System producing another extremely wet spring up there, causing the Mississippi to swell out of its banks once again. Not as bad as 1993 but flooding. Just doing some thinking on paper. At this time I think it is going to a tough Spring to do any Tornado rescearch.Looks like a lot of 700 mile trips to get anything at all.

Steve,
It will likely be an active spring.
