Forecast discussion.    

  •   Mostly calm weather into early next week.  A slow warming trend is expected, but temperatures will still be below average into Monday.
  •   Scattered showers are possible tonight and Thursday.  Mainly our far southwestern counties.  See graphics.
  •   Below-average temperatures are expected through the week and into next week.
  •   Drought conditions continue to worsen.
  •   I am watching rain chances towards the middle of next week.

Yesterday was another beautiful day for the region.  Nice temperatures.

There were some record low temperatures broken yesterday morning!  We may have some this morning, as well.

Here are some stats from yesterday.

.

Today will be another nice day.

There will be increasing clouds over the southwest two-thirds of the region.  That is because of a southern disturbance moving into the region.

We are waking up to cool temperatures.  Again, this is more like late September than late August.

5 AM temperatures

.

Our next weather system will arrive tonight and tomorrow.

As we move through the day, there will be an increase in clouds.

You can see the increase in clouds in this animation.  Blue represents clouds.

The time stamp is located in the upper left.  That is Zulu time.  12z=7 AM.  00z=7 PM.


.

A fast-moving weather system is expected to bring a few showers to a small portion of the region tonight and tomorrow.

As suspected, the system continues to trend southwest.   That means less rain for our region.  The concern has mainly been along the MO/AR border into the Bootheel.  That is where rain showers were anticipated.

Mainly Butler County, Missouri, into the Missouri Bootheel.

And, there will likely be a few showers in that area.  However, I don’t expect much rainfall.

Here is the latest rainfall forecast map.  The WPC continues to push this further southwest.

It may clip my far southwest counties.  If trends much further southwest, then even those areas will miss out.

.

Let me show you that on the precipitation probability maps.

Rain chances (%) from 7 pm to 7 am Wednesday night/Thursday morning.


.

Thursday 7 AM to Thursday 7 PM (% rain probabilities)

There is a sharp cut-off for those who have no rain and some rain.  Totals should be light.


.

Thursday 7 PM to Friday 7 AM

.

The 15-day EC model temperature outlook is nice.  The worst of the summer heat is likely behind us.

There will still be some warm days, of course.  Not sure how many more 90-degree days we have.  Perhaps some, but the threat of days and days of 90s continues to become less likely.  Our temperature averages begin to drop as we move into September.

.

Drought conditions will continue to worsen.

** NEW SERVICE **  I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.
.
More information on the WeatherCall subscription service at the link below or use the QR code.

.
We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription.  This does NOTreplace www.weathertalk.com It is simply another tool for you to receive severe weather information.

.
I use it myself. I encourage everyone to have 3 to 5 ways of receiving their severe weather information. All sources can fail, and the more sources you have, the better prepared you will be in the event of severe weather warnings.
.
WeatherCall will call your cell phone or home number if your home is under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning.  It only calls you ifyour home is inside the warning box/polygon. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.
Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.
