Today through April 24th.  Severe weather is not anticipated.

.

.

Today’s outlook (below).

Light green is where thunderstorms may occur but should be below severe levels.

Dark green is a level one risk. Yellow is a level two risk. Orange is a level three (enhanced) risk. Red is a level four (moderate) risk. Pink is a level five (high) risk.

One is the lowest risk. Five is the highest risk.

A severe storm is one that produces 58 mph wind or higher, quarter size hail, and/or a tornado.

The tan states are simply a region that SPC outlined on this particular map. Just ignore that.

The black outline is our local area.

Weather Discussion

    1.  Mild today and Tuesday
    2.  Much colder Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night.
    3.  Rain and snow showers Tuesday/Tuesday night.
    4.  Monitoring weekend rain chances.

 

Our weather today will be ruled by departing clouds, off to the east, and increasing sunshine area-wide.

It will be mild.  This, ahead of a powerful late season winter-like cold front.

Ahead of the cold front, warmer air will be pumped northward into our region.  Expect highs well into the 60s.

There will be some AM clouds over our far eastern counties (Pennyrile area of western Kentucky).  These will be on the way out.

Some patch fog is possible (early).

We have an area of high pressure well to our south.  That will be the influencer today.  High pressure usually means nice weather.

The region will remain dry tonight, as well.

A strong cold front will approach our northwest counties Tuesday afternoon and evening.  As a matter of fact, it is possible that temperatures will fall during the day if the front advances fast enough.

You can see the front on this 6 AM weather radar/temperature map.  The band of blue, purple, and pink is where snow is falling.  Green is rain.

Click on the images to enlarge them.

This is more likely to occur over the northern half of southeast Missouri and portions of southern Illinois.

Rain will develop along the front, as well.

Gusty winds will accompany the front.

.

Check out the sharp temperature contrast ahead of and behind the cold front.

.

Check out the Hrrr model at 2 PM tomorrow.  Wow!  What a cold front this is going to be.

.

Widespread rain and snow will develop Tuesday night and push northwest to southeast across the region.  There may be a brief period of wet snowflakes.  At this time, it appears that any chance of accumulation will be low.  Perhaps a brief melting slushy dusting on some cars or elevated surfaces.  If that occurs, it would most likely be over the northern half of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.

See the future-cast radars below.  Many of them do show a rain/snow mix (blue colors).

The Hrrr model shows the band of briefly heavy snow.  Will this verify or will this be mostly rain?  That is the question.  The Hrrr model has been showing snow for several runs.  Something worth watching.  Either way, this is a novelty event.  If snow does accumulate then it won’t last long.

This graphic shows strong forcing right behind the cold front.  That is where the snow potential will be.

.

Either way, this is a strong cold front with some unusual weather.  It is rare to see snowflakes in late April (in our region).

Here are some of the past April snow events.

.

Rain totals, area-wide, will range from 0.01″ to 0.20″.

The bigger story, will be rapidly falling temperatures behind the cold front.  Temperatures will fall from the mid to upper 60s into the 20s and 30s by Wednesday morning.

As far as frost chances go, it will be a race against the wind dying down and the sky conditions clearing.  Either of those, could prevent frost from forming.

Ideal frost conditions are light winds and clearing sky conditions.  Whether that happens, fast enough, is questionable.

Temperatures may also fall below freezing into the 28 to 32 degree range late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning.  The time-frame below freezing will be a few hours in a few locations.

This could cause some harm to sensitive plants.

.

Dry weather is anticipated Wednesday into Thursday.

Temperatures Wednesday night, if everything goes as planned, should dip into the lower to middle 30s.  That would mean additional frost chances (perhaps a light freeze).

High pressure will dominate the weather both Wednesday and Thursday.

Another frontal boundary will push into the region late Thursday night, Friday, and Saturday.  This will bring additional shower chances and perhaps even a non-severe thunderstorm.

The greatest chance of rain appears to be late Friday afternoon into early Saturday morning.

There are differing opinions, in the model suites, as to how much rain will fall.  For now, I have rain totals in the 0.10″ to 0.50″ range.  Some models show heavier rain.

Dry conditions are likely Saturday night into Sunday night.

Temperatures throughout the period should remain below normal.  An odd long-duration cool spell.  It is saving us from severe weather.  So, there is some good news.

I am watching the very end of the month into May for increasing thunderstorm chances.  Perhaps PERHAPS warmer than normal air, as well.  I will believe that when I see it!   Seems we can’t shake the cool snaps.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.

What should I take from these?

  1. The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
  2. The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
  3. The EC European weather model is in Zulu time.

.

What am I looking at?
You are looking at different models. Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather. All models are wrong. Some are more wrong than others. Meteorologists have to make a forecast based on the guidance/models.

I show you these so you can see what the different models are showing as far as precipitation. If most of the models agree, then the confidence in the final weather forecast increases.
