Current Temperatures Around The Local Area
An explanation of what is happening in the atmosphere over the coming days.
Friday ended up being a wet wet wet day across the region. Rainfall totals varied. Most areas did pick up between 0.50″-1.00″. Some places had a bit more than that. A nice soaking fall rain.
Rain will move off to the east today. That will leave us with lots of clouds for today through Sunday. The good news is that it still be dry. The bad news is that temperatures will be well below normal (once again).
Short update today! The weather is calm and the next few days will bring calm, as well. I will be moving to a new apartment here in Chicago (I am in Chicago for awhile) on Sunday and Monday. Updates will likely be brief.

How much rain should this system produce over our region?
No rainfall thought Sunday night. Any rain leftover this morning should exit shortly.
We have regional radars and local city radars – if a radar does not seem to be updating then try another one. Occasional browsers need their cache cleared. You may also try restarting your browser. That usually fixes the problem. Occasionally we do have a radar go down. That is why I have duplicates. Thus, if one fails then try another one.
If you have any problems then please send me an email beaudodson@usawx.com

We also have a new national interactive radar – you can view that radar by clicking here.
Local interactive city radars include St Louis, Mt Vernon, Evansville, Poplar Bluff, Cape Girardeau, Marion, Paducah, Hopkinsville, Memphis, Nashville, Dyersburg, and all of eastern Kentucky – these are interactive radars. Local city radars – click here
NOTE: Occasionally you will see ground clutter on the radar (these are false echoes). Normally they show up close to the radar sites – including Paducah.

Sorry kids! Still no snow in the forecast.
Next week should bring below normal temperatures. At least early on into the middle of the week. The next question mark will be the Friday through Sunday time period. It does appear a storm system may move out of the Midwest. If this storm tracks well to our northwest then that would bring milder air northward.
A fairly boring weather pattern this weekend into the middle of next week. Perhaps a bit more active as we push into the late week time period.
You can sign up for my AWARE email by clicking here I typically send out AWARE emails before severe weather, winter storms, or other active weather situations. I do not email watches or warnings. The emails are a basic “heads up” concerning incoming weather conditions.
