After highs reaching into the 80's this afternoon, big changes are on the way to our weather in the Ozarks.

The National Weather Service says a strong cold front will sweep through the area Thursday afternoon, with high temperatures reaching around 72 by 11am, then dropping into the mid 50's during the remainder of the day.

The front will bring a chance for thunderstorms from Thursday afternoon into tomorrow night. A few of those storms may produce small hail and frequent lightning.

Meteorologists say a cold, Canadian airmass will move into the area this weekend with highs struggling to reach 50 on Friday and Saturday. A frost or freeze is likely across much of southwest Missouri with lows around 30 Friday night through Sunday night.
