Ride along the cold front as it passed through the Central United States this weekend. We went from t-shirts to turtlenecks as temperatures dropped 50 degrees in some cities. The nose diving temperatures were accompanied by rain and gusty winds making for a very raw time.
Follow the front from northwest to southeast, as it dramatically drops temperatures first in Salina and Omaha, then Topeka and Kansas City, through Mid-Missouri and Springfield, before finally pushing through St. Louis.

Earlier this week the Central Plains were basking in mild temperatures for early October with highs in the upper 70s to lower 90s! Now, just one or two days later we have areas of snow and temperatures struggling to reach 50 degrees. This dramatic change was thanks to a strong cold front that moved across the Central Plains and even into the southern United States. Take a look below to see just how far those temperatures fell with a comparison of highs on Wednesday or Thursday to the afternoon on Friday.
