Beau’s Forecast Discussion
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the weekend! Christmas is right around the corner.
We are waking up to chilly temperatures, but nothing extreme. It will remain cold into the weekend.
A calm forecast through Sunday night.
We do have a fast moving clipper system moving through the Ohio Valley today. This will bring some clouds. It could bring a few snow showers to southeast Illinois and northwest Kentucky today.
You can see that on this morning’s 7 AM radar
At most a dusting on mainly grassy and elevated surfaces. It is just as possible that there is little or no accumulation.
It will be cold today through Sunday.
Highs this weekend will only be in the 30s. Brrr. Lows in the teens and twenties.
Gusty winds tonight into Friday night. Occasional gusts above 30 mph. This is going to make it feel even colder.
Check out these wind chill maps. Not extreme, but certainly cold. Heavy coat type weather.
Noon today wind chill values.
Saturday morning wind chill values
Sunday morning wind chill values.
Plenty chilly for the weekend before Christmas.
A slow warming trend will begin Monday ahead of our next storm system.
We could even have a few light showers on Monday. The higher rain probabilities will arrive Monday night into Wednesday. Peak chances Monday night into Tuesday night.
Christmas Eve will be damp. Plan on showers. A rumble of thunder possible, but no severe thunderstorms. Thankfully.
There remain questions about Christmas Day. Rain may linger in the region. Some data shows the rain coming to an end by Christmas morning. I will monitor it. For now, plan on a few showers.
I am watching another system around the 27th and 28th. That one could bring some thunderstorms, but it is way too early to know if severe weather will be a concern.
There are two more systems after that one. Whether one of those taps into colder air will need to be monitored.
There are signals for two solid cold shots in January. Whether the cold mixes with precipitation is unknown. It is an active pattern. Monitor updates as we move deeper into winter. As always, I will be tracking each system.
Here is the official rainfall outlook through Christmas morning. A widespread 0.30″ to 0.60″ with higher totals possible over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. This does not include any additional rain that might fall on Christmas Day.
