Temperatures will be on the rebound the next few days as southerly winds return to the area, with mid-50s possible by Wednesday. This will be short lived as a strong cold front will move through the region on Thursday, which will bring the next chance of precipitation to the area. Following its departure, cold air will filter into the lower Missouri Valley just in time for the weekend. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:
