Good Evening Mid MO!
Ok, after two hours of looking at the latest model runs and data coming into the weather center, I have adjusted the forecast from last night slightly. Here are my thoughts on this approaching system.
For tonight, rain is moving in from the Southern viewing area currently. This looks to stay mostly rain during the overnight hours as temperatures stay above the freezing mark. Most of the precipitation will stay South of Highway 70. Not saying it can't travel further North, but the bulk will stay to the South.

As we approach the early morning hours, my thoughts are that temperatures will fall close to the freezing mark. This will change the precipitation over to a wintry mix (rain/snow/sleet). This doesnt look to last for long though. We may pick up on a little slushy snowfall, but it is not looking like it will be sticking to the roadways seeing as they will be wet from the rain, and still warm enough to melt whatever hits it. Roadways will still be wet for your morning commute so do allow for some extra travel time.
Once we get out of the morning hours, temperatures look to warm back into the upper 30s and lower 40s for the afternoon. This will leave us with rain, which will melt any of the slush that may be on the ground. This all looks to move out by the early afternoon, and skies will gradually begin to break up the cloud cover.
