Good morning, and happy Wednesday! A large area of shallow low cloud cover has moved across much of our region overnight, with temperatures down in the 60s. A cold front is draped across central Arkansas and Oklahoma, and this will drift a bit more south today. There is a massive temperature inversion above us, meaning the air is cooler in the lower atmosphere and much warmer several thousand feet up. This could make the cloud layer slow to break up, and this will have an impact on temperatures. Highs could be close to 80° from Birch Tree to Rolla, and near 90° over far western Missouri.
