What is the primary weather concern?

No significant weather concerns over the next several days.  There will be low-end rain chances over the coming seven days.  See graphics below.

.

Here were the 6 AM temperatures.   A chilly morning.  Quite a bit colder than 24 hours ago.

Today  through Sunday

Our rain and wind event has pushed eastward.

The risk of severe weather yesterday was small.  Primarily, we expected strong winds with the cold front and showers.  In the end, that did verify.

Our forecast for no tornadoes verified, as well.

We did have a couple of National Weather Service warnings.

The tornado warning was issued because of some rotation in Ballard County.  Nothing touched down, and there weren’t any tornadoes.  The rotation stayed aloft.

A lot of the showers yesterday (there wasn’t much lightning) produced rotation.  But that is to be expected in December when you have strong wind shear aloft.  Storms will rotate on radar, but nothing touches down.

There were some reports of strong wind gusts with the showers.  That was because of the strong low-level jetstream.  Some of those winds gusted above 45 mph.

There were some tree limbs down here and there.  A couple of power poles, as well. Primarily associated with the showers that tapped into the cold front winds.

A power pole was pushed over south of Mayfield, Kentucky.  Marion, Kentucky, reported some downed tree limbs.  Todd County, Kentucky, reported damage to some tree limbs and power poles.  I am sure there were some other reports, as well.

There wasn’t any CAPE to work with.  CAPE is instability.  CAPE is energy for thunderstorms to feed on.

In the end, it was about what we expected from the system.

Here were the Storm Prediction Center severe weather reports from yesterday.  As you can see, the only report in our area was from Todd County (my far eastern county).   Sometimes, some late reports come in.  We will see if anything is added to this today.

.

No real weather concerns over the coming days.  That is the good news.

It will be cold today with below-average temperatures.

It will be a bit warmer on Saturday, then a bit cooler on Sunday.

Let’s look at those temperatures.

Cold today.  A bit warmer tomorrow. A bit cooler on Sunday.

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.
