First Alert: Wet tonight, cold tomorrow

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - A rainy, wet night is in store for the Heartland as a lot of moisture moves in from the southwest.

Brian Alworth says heavy showers and elevated thunderstorms could result in some heavy downpours and rapid runoff, especially in those areas that still have snow cover.

The rain will end northwest to southeast Sunday morning as a strong cold front moves forward.

There could be a few snowflakes, but nothing significant expected to hinder travel.

Partial clearing is possible by afternoon, but it will be cold and breezy with temperatures falling from the 40s into the 30s.

The work week will start off cold and mostly sunny, with a gradual warming trend for the second half of the week.

A minor weather system could bring isolated showers around Wednesday.

The next significant system looks to be a chance of rain with a cold front around Friday night or next Saturday morning.
