Fire weather risk level.

Friday: 2. Very low risk.
Friday night: 2. Very low risk.
Saturday: 4. Low risk.
Saturday  night:  3. Very low risk.

Fire Weather Discussion

Multiple rounds of wetting rains will impact the region through Sunday leading to lower mixing heights and higher RH values. Rainfall totals are forecast to be 1 to 2 inches in many areas by Sunday. Transport winds will be out of the south today and Saturday before becoming west-northwest on Sunday. Winds become southerly again on Monday ahead of another disturbance that spreads additional rain across the area Monday night into Tuesday.

A Haines Index of 6 means a high potential for an existing fire to become large or exhibit erratic fire behavior, 5 means medium potential, 4 means low potential, and anything less than 4 means very low potential.

Weather Highlights and Forecast Discussion

    1.   Mild temperatures for late December.  This will continue through at least Monday night.
    2.   Damp.  Wet weather.
    3.   Thunderstorms are possible into Saturday.  A few of the storms could be intense Saturday night.   Monitor updates.
    4.   Watching colder air the first two weeks of January.  Mingled with warm shots.  We will have to monitor the trends on how far south the cold extends.  Too early to know if snow or ice will be an issue.  Monitor updates.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion

Our active weather pattern continues.

We are waking up to widespread showers and thunderstorms.  None severe, thankfully.

Locally heavy downpours and lightning have been the primary concern this morning.

There was a report or two of pea size hail with the strongest storms, as well.

The good news is that the bulk of the rain will exit this morning.  That will leave us with clouds and a few patchy showers as we move through the afternoon hours.  Patchy fog and drizzle, as well.

It will mostly be dry tonight.  I lowered rain chances.  Patchy fog possible.

Tomorrow morning will be mostly dry, as well.

Our next storm system arrives Saturday afternoon and night.  I am expecting widespread showers and thunderstorms.  A few of the storms could be strong or severe over the Missouri Bootheel and along the KY/TN border.

Confidence in actual severe weather is low.  I can’t rule out some strong wind gusts with the most intense thunderstorms.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined that area for a low risk of severe weather.  A level one (marginal) risk.  That is the lowest risk they have.

You can see that on this graphic.  Adjustments are still possible.

The light green zone is where lightning is possible.

The dark green zone is where storms could be severe or near severe.

I will keep an eye on it.  This does not appear to be a big threat for our region.  A more significant risk will develop well to our south.

Double click on images to make them larger.

Showers and storms may linger into Sunday morning.  The bulk of the rain will fall Saturday PM/night.

Another system will move through the region Monday and Tuesday.  A few more showers are possible.

We finally cool down next Tuesday/Wednesday.  NOthing extreme.  It will at least feel a bit more like January.

Occasionally, models show a bigger dump of cold air around January 7th to 10th.  But, they waffle on the intensity of the cold.
I continue to monitor it.

No snow or ice in the current forecast.

Once the cold air arrives, the trend has been for mainly below average precipitation.

I am watching a possible storm system around January 6th/7th.  For now, models show that as a warm system with showers and storms.  Then, turning colder behind it.

Long way off.  I will monitor trends, as always.

Let’s look at a few charts from the EC and GFS models.  Two different models.

The EC shows the Monday night/Tuesday rain event.  Double click on images to make them larger.

The EC model shows another system around December 5th.

The GFS model shows the January 6th/7th rain event, as well.  It is stronger on the GFS.

I will monitor trends.

Let me show you some ensemble data.

Ensembles are

Let’s look at tomorrow’s temperature anomaly map.

Notice how all the squares are red.  That means above average temperatures.  A 100% chance.  Every square agrees.

Double click on images to make them larger.

Now, let’s look farther out.

This is the EC ensembles for next Wednesday/Thursday.  Notice the blue colors?  Strong agreement that we will be near or below average in the temperature department.

Normal highs are in the 40s.  Normal lows are in the 20s.

Now let’s look even farther out.  This is January 9th.

Quite a bit of agreement for well below average temperatures.  Perhaps some bitterly cold temperatures.  Lows in the teens possible.

The GFS ensembles agree with the EC ensembles.  Two different models.

This gives me confidence that we will experience some cold temperatures around the 8th through the 10th.  Give or take on the days.  We will have to see how long the cold air lingers.

Let’s look at the snow maps.

These are ensemble snow maps.

The EC model.  Some of the frames show snow.  Some do not. There is not agreement on that portion of the forecast.

I will monitor it.  Perhaps some clipper systems or snow showers with the cold air.  Confidence in a winter storm is low.  For now, at least.

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.
