We have a chance for strong storms along a cold front, mostly after midnight tonight.
An isolated storm may develop this afternoon and evening, but we'll likely have to wait for a line along the cold front that will push through the region between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. Tuesday.

It's going to be a nice weekend! I want to catch you before you tune out for the weekend, though, as a chance for severe weather kicks off next week on Monday. I'll have new information on what will likely be our next ABC17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day all morning on ABC17 News

Most areas have improved with dry time, but flooding along the Blackwater River is still a problem. Good news is rain ahead won't be nearly as impactful as what we had over the weekend. I have the latest this morning on ABC17!

Good morning friends!
We have warm and dry weather through Tuesday. It's the result of a stout wind which has a red flag warning in place, so please do not burn!
I'm tracking another chance at some passing snow showers later this week, on ABC17 News This Morning 🌅

We're in the worst of the cold now. Just hang on into the weekend, and we can start to relax a bit! We're tracking down right springy air next week!

I've made some small tweaks to the snowfall map, but overall the messaging is the same. We expect an impactful winter storm to bring inches of snow across the region, which will deteriorate travel through the day Wednesday. I'll have the latest on ABC17 & FOX22

Temperatures are dropping a few extra degrees this morning, so Boone, Audrain, Howard, and Saline counties have been added to the advisory. Elevated surfaces will be first, but where the pavement is cold enough, we'll develop ice on roads as well. Use caution this morning.

Ahhhh... we have refreshing images of rain showers on the ABC17 Stormtrack Doppler Radar this morning. This will not only be a nice change of pace, but will hopefully wash some of the snow and salt off the roads. It's looking like a beautiful weekend for a car wash!

Cooler air is moving in this morning. Don't be fooled by the relative warmth we have right now. Northwest winds will bring a chilly and breezy day to the region shortly.

Many of us are melting as I write this. Temperatures starting near to above freezing will only climb higher today, so you may want the boots as more snow and ice turns to slush today. I'll have the latest on even more warmth tomorrow on ABC17 News This Morning!
