Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Odessa, MO

DISCUSSION
Issued at 238 AM CST Thu Nov 6 2025

Another warm day ahead with mid to upper level ridging moving over the Great Plains. At the surface, a high pressure is situated over the Midwest U.S. with a low and its associated cold front entering the Dakotas. For most of today, conditions remain quiet as a result of being under the influence of high pressure. As the surface low continues its track to the east, increasing the pressure gradient, expect occasional gusts to 20-25 mph late this morning/afternoon with daytime mixing. Increased cloud coverage could hinder mixing resulting in winds not being as robust as yesterday. Cloud coverage will also play a role in temperatures (impeding the effects of daytime heating) as highs north of I-70 will range in the mid to upper 60s. While areas south of I-70 with thinner cloud coverage will range in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Late this evening into tonight out ahead of the approaching cold front within the warm sector, weak isentropic ascent (seen on the 295K surface) coupled with increased moisture transport from an H850 jet will result in light showers mainly east of I-35, north of I-70.
Even with ample shear (bulk shear values around 45-55 kts), no severe is anticipated given the limited instability. A few of the CAMs have suggested the possibility of just enough instability for isolated-scattered thunderstorms. Some rumbles of thunder will be possible, but given the generally unfavorable environment for storms (weak CAPE profiles, more stable lapse rates, and present CIN), any storms that form are expected to remain isolated in nature. Guidance continues to suggest rain total amounts from late Thursday into early Friday remain below a tenth of an inch.

For Friday, the surface cold front finally moves through the area.
However, with the colder temperatures lagging behind, high temperatures will continue to remain above seasonal averages ranging in the mid 60s to low 70s across the area. Going into the weekend, temperatures trend cooler due to the effects of the cold front, ranging in the mid 50s to mid 60s. Precip chances arrive late Saturday afternoon/evening primarily for northeast MO with a closed low over the Hudson Bay pushing a mid-level trough and surface cold front through the area. Along with precip chances will come a much colder air mass. Saturday night lows will sink into the 20s with Sunday highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. The coldest morning this week will come Monday as lows sink into the upper teens to low 20s.
As mid to upper level ridging begins to move over the area Tuesday, higher mid-level heights will allow temperatures to increase, getting above seasonal averages by Wednesday. Due to the influence of the mid to upper level ridge, conditions seem mostly dry Tuesday into the second half of next week.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
Issued at 1159 AM CST Thu Nov 6 2025

VFR conditions are expected through the period, though an approaching system will bring lower ceilings to terminals early this afternoon. Wind will be southerly through the day with frequent gusts over 20 knots, decreasing toward 00Z. There are low chances for a shower or two in the area this afternoon (generally less than 15% chance) though the bulk of this activity will remain north and east of terminals; no precipitation impacts were added to the TAFs. Ceilings will lift after 04Z as this quick system moves away. Wind will turn more east-northeast by Friday morning.
