March 30, 2018: Wet and cold. More of the same.

.

 

Easter snow?
.
Okay, fellow weather enthusiasts and Easter weekenders, the forecast is a bit messy.
 
The good news is that it is not a total washout and there will be time for some outdoor events.
.
While your kids are hunting Easter eggs can you see if maybe they can find spring snuggled between the daffodils?
 
I spoke with Peter Cottontail and told him he might need a windbreaker on Saturday and a heavy coat on Sunday. He asked about snowshoes and I told him probably not, but maybe throw them in the back of the bunny carriage (just in case).
 
Look, I’m just the messenger. Blame Russia, blame climate change, blame Al Gore or Trump, but just don’t blame me.
.
I am all for warm weather. Three or four sunny and warm days would be great. That isn’t the forecast. Just dreaming out loud.
 
My suggestion for Saturday and Sunday is to have a plan B and then hope for the best.
.
SATURDAY
.
We may see the sun on Saturday. The problem will be precipitation moving into the region from the northwest during the day.
 
It will be windy on Saturday. Easter eggs may blow away. Hide them in a secure location! Winds of 15 to 30 mph are likely ahead of a cold front. Winds will increase and peak as the front passes your location.
 
Right now it appears a band of rain will push from the northwest towards the southeast on Saturday (during the day).
 
The front will likely move from northwest to southeast during the late morning into the afternoon hours. Peak rain chances will be from 11 am through 5 pm.
 
Those yellow bunny peeps (don’t pretend you don’t know what those are. We secretly love them) will melt as the showers push through the area. Best to not hide those outside.
 
11 AM towards Farmington, Missouri and then Metropolis/Paducah likely around 2 PM to 4 PM.
 
A few showers may remain Saturday night. We will turn colder, as well.
 
Highs on Saturday will likely be in the middle to upper 50’s. If the sun pops out someone might hit 60 degrees.
 
Lows Saturday night will mostly be in the upper 30’s to lower 40’s. Chilly for this time of the year.
.
EASTER SUNDAY
Highs on Sunday may remain in the upper 30’s to middle 40’s. Chilly.
 
Sunday will be cold. We may have rain and rain/snow/sleet/wintry mix developing. Heck, let’s just throw in some jelly beans.
 
The timing of Sunday’s precipitation appears to be greatest as we move into the afternoon and evening hours.
 
With a bit of luck, the sunrise services will be cold, but rain free. 
 
Sunday sunrise services will require an Easter bonnet, scarf, coat, and some of you might need mittens or gloves.
 
The ground will be wet so maybe your Sunday shoes are replaced with your Wednesday shoes.

SNOW ACCUMULATION?
.

Whether the snow sticks or not is questionable, at best.
.
The chance of accumulating snow is greater as you move north through our region.  Northern counties of southeast Missouri and northern counties of southern Illinois stand the best chance (and even there it is questionable).

 

The area to monitor will likely be along a line from Bollinger County, Missouri, to Vienna, Illinois, and then towards Owensboro, Kentucky. Along and north of that line.

 

Again, I am not telling you there will be accumulation. Ground temperatures are warm, road temperatures are warm, and air temperatures will be marginal.

 

Remember the event a couple weeks ago that produced snow? Some of you picked up one or two inches. This is a similar event.

 

Happy Easter!!

Let’s look at some of those model graphics.First, some of the models do show snow accumulating.

I am starting to wonder if warm weather will ever settle into our region.  We know it will but it sure is taking its time.

 

 

 

TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

I do not have great news for the coming days.  Colder air is poised to push into our region over the next couple of days.  Lows tonight will dip into the upper 30’s to lower 40’s, 30’s on Saturday night, and upper 20’s to lower 30’s Sunday night.  Brrr for March and April standards.  I suppose if it was the middle of January we would be thrilled.

Of course, it won’t remain dry.  Par for the course!  More rain will arrive Saturday and that rain will linger into Tuesday.

We do not need more rain but more rain we will have.

Numerous showers are likely Saturday into Sunday night.  Rain coverage on Monday could be numerous, but guidance is not in total agreement on that.

The good news is that the rain will be spread out over several days.  Thus, flooding is unlikely through Sunday night.  We will need to monitor heavier showers Monday into Tuesday.  If thunderstorms develop then the flooding risk will increase.

It will be cold enough that the rain could mix with snow Saturday night into Sunday night.  The ground is warm and the roads are warm.  I can’t completely rule out light accumulation, but overall the odds favor no-impact from this snow event.  The greatest concern would be across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.

If temperatures fall into the upper 20’s (across portions of the region) Sunday night, then we will need to watch bridges.  Bridges will always freeze first.  At this time, widespread issues appear unlikely.   If nothing else, it is just a reminder that we can’t shake the cold temperatures.

 

MONDAY and TUESDAY

Thunderstorms are possible Monday afternoon into Tuesday.  A few of the thunderstorms could be intense with gusty winds and small hail.  Monitor updates.

Warmer air will attempt to push into our region Monday into Tuesday and that will mean instability returns.  Instability would mean lightning.

I know we don’t care for the cold weather but it is keeping the severe weather risk low.  I suppose that is the bright side of all of this.

We should dry out Tuesday night into Wednesday night.

I am monitoring the potential of another frost/freeze Wednesday night.  Yes, another cold snap.

Let’s take a look at future-cast radar and rain totals.

 

FUTURE-CAST RADAR

First, let’s take a look at the NAM model guidance.  One model of several that I look at when forecasting.

Green would be rain.  Blue is snow.  Red and pink would be a wintry mix.

Timestamp upper left.

 

 

Now, let’s look at the GFS guidance.  Another model.

Timestamp upper left.

 

 

Let’s take a look at temperatures.

Timestamp upper left.  This animation takes us through Monday 1 PM.

 

 

SNOW CHANCES

Some of the guidance does show snow sticking Saturday night into Sunday night.  This is a long-shot.  

I will monitor trends over the next 24 hours.  If temperatures are slightly colder then the chance of a slushy accumulation would increase.  I know, I know, it is late March and almost April.

NAM model guidance shows very little snow.

 

 

The Canadian model shows a band of snow across Missouri and Illinois.  Again, this is just a model.

 

 

GFS model.  Another model’s opinion on the snow risk this weekend.

 

 

Again, for now, the forecast is for little or no snow accumulation.  Monitor updates in case the forecast changes.

 

RAIN TOTALS

How about rain totals?  Let’s look at the NAM, GFS, and the WPC/NOAA rain accumulation graphics.

GFS guidance through 1 PM Monday

ANNOUNCEMENT!

 

I am working on a few new items for us.

As always, I am grateful for all of you and the support you bring to my passion.

There was never a plan.

All of this started with a severe weather email list of ten or twenty people after the killer 2003 tornadoes. That grew to what you see today.

From that tornado, the Shadow Angel Foundation was born. We delivered hundreds of teddy bears to Pulaski, Massac, and Pope Counties. The “storm” bears went to Head Start, Kindergarten, and first graders. Included with the bears was a package of information for parents on how to talk to their child about tornadoes and severe weather.

We then worked with the Metropolis Planet on producing the Terror in the Night tornado book. The book was filled with personal accounts of that horrible night. Many people said the book helped bring closure.

Since then we have delivered thousands of teddy bears to Child Watch and Pasac. The counselors use the teddy bears to help the children feel safe.

Soon after that, the late Kent King (radio DJ and emergency manager) asked me to cover weather for McCracken County OEM/DES. I was COM 10 on the scanner feeds.

Ed Duff, with McCracken County Rescue, now utilizes my services during severe weather events along with two other local counties. They receive one on one attention during events.

That led me to Sue Henry with the American Red Cross where I was able to help during Hurricane Katrina and Rita. An experience that changed my life.

Around that time social media exploded onto the scene. My personal Facebook page quickly filled up with 5000 people. The limit Facebook allows for personal pages.

Facebook then started pages. I was able to make a page just for weather.

It was soon after that that I bought a portion of my family farm back. We built my house and the Weather Observatory.

Jason Darnall helped put together an amazing weather center. Many hours of work.

Then the Paducah Sun then asked me to do weather for them.

That led to the amazing team at Innovations Branding House. They produced my Weather Observatory website.

About four years ago there was a falling out with some local meteorologists. It bothered me so much that I almost quit weather.

The Paducah Sun even ran a story that I was taking a break from weather. I was taking a year off.

Several other local meteorologists then came to me and told me to brush it off. They encouraged me to start a weather business. They explained what I could bring to the local weather table.

Soon after that, as fate would have it, Preston Ursini and the Fire Horn team asked me to think about producing text messages during severe weather. That led to Weather Talk. That then led to the Weather Talk app.

Had it not been for that low point, I don’t think Weather Talk would have ever come to be. Life is funny like that. Something bad turned into something good.

I often times tell people that I have the best Facebook friends, enthusiasts, and followers. It is rare that someone complains on the weather page.

Some of you have basically become like family to me. When severe weather strikes it becomes personal to both you and me.

Here is what we are going to bring you.

1. We are coming out with a major app update for subscribers. We plan on having radar in the app, as well as your usual app/text messages to the daily blog, video, and Facebook updates.

2. We are completely revamping the WeatherTalk website. Preston Ursini, from The Fire Horn, is working alongside Innovations Branding House to complete this task. The Fire Horn is who I partner with to make all of this work.

3. I am going to try and stick to a daily schedule. That way everyone knows when to expect an update. See the comment section.

4. Many of you have asked me to do Facebook Live video updates during winter storms and severe weather outbreaks. I have spent the last week learning how to use OBS studio software. This software will allow me to deliver you Facebook Live events. You will get your wish.

5. We are moving towards a flat subscription fee of $5 a month. Everyone that is paying $3 a month will be grandfathered in. If you want to voluntarily upgrade to the $5 plan then that would be great. We will roll this out when the new website is finished.

Right now we have a $3, $5, and $10 plan. The only difference is how many cell phone numbers you can add.

With the $5 a month plan we will let everyone have up to seven phone numbers. That should cover your family members. Sound good?

6. I have streamlined the digital media blog. That would be the talk.weathertalk.com site. You will find that is has been organized.

Remember, I work for you. I don’t work for television or radio. I am your employee.

You have a personal meteorologist. And, as everyone knows, I put my heart and soul into this.

Subscribers will receive the following:

You may subscribe at www.beaudodsonweather.com

1. The app/text updates during tornado outbreaks and all other weather events.
2. Rapid-fire tornado app/text messages. I send out numerous updates as I track the tornado. Some of you can testify to these rapid-fire tornado messages.
3. Daily weather forecast sent to your app/text.
4. Link sent to the app/text to the daily blog and Facebook updates on non-severe weather days. Instead of waiting around for me to post a new Facebook thread you can receive it in your app/text.
5. Link sent to the app/text to the daily blog and Facebook updates on severe weather or winter storm days.
6. We are updating the weather map page on the website. That page will have thousands of daily weather maps for you to access.
7. I answer every email you send. I try to answer every private message you send to me.
8. We run three hour live feeds during severe weather where we attempt to answer as many questions as possible. Same for winter storms.
9. You receive access to special short and long-range video updates from the Bamwx team (who help me with daily videos).
10. You receive access to special short, long-range, and seasonal temperature and precipitation outlooks.
11. Your subscription fee helps six local charities (see comment section for more information).

Normal monthly out of pocket operating costs (see comment section) are around $2000.00.

The service I provide is unique. I don’t believe there is anything else like it in the country. Not for this price and not for the volume of information you receive.

We hope to have the new app and website finished soon. Watch for announcements.

 

 

New schedule

 

Example of some of my rapid-fire tornado app/text messages.

Make sure you have app/text notification ONE turned on.  This one is called WeatherOne.  You can make sure that is on by signing into your www.weathertalk.com account and clicking the personal notification settings tab.  Make sure WeatherOne is on (green).  Green is on.  Red is off.

 

 


We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars.   If a radar does not update then try another one.  If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5.  You may also try restarting your browser.

The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.

During the winter months, you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.

Did you know that a portion of your monthly subscription helps support local charity projects?

You can learn more about those projects by visiting the Shadow Angel Foundation website and the Beau Dodson News website.

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.
