Typical progression on a severe weather day for subscribers.
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 my personal attention during significant weather events.
WWW.WEATHERTALK.COM subscribers, here is my day to day schedule for your weather products.
These are bonus videos and maps for subscribers. I bring these to you from the BAMwx team. I pay them to help with videos.
The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area. They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.
The long-range video is technical. Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video. Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

Today through Sunday: Snow showers are likely this evening. This is most likely across the northern half of southeast Missouri and then across southern Illinois into northwest Kentucky. Some of the snow showers could dust surfaces and bridges. Use care if this does develop. Gusty winds will help produce wind chills into the teens.
Sunday night into Tuesday night: Monitor updates. I am watching a potential winter weather event Monday afternoon into Tuesday. It is still too early to know whether or not our region will be impacted. Scroll down further in this update to see some graphics.
We still have a number of days to go before this event gains confidence levels one way or another (meaning snow or no snow).
As always, winter weather events are tricky, at best. It would be early in the season if this event does occur.
Wind forecast
The Weather Observatory will be holding two open houses for adults and children. Weather permitting, the open house will be Saturday, December 1st.
Class of 1988 (Massac County High School). I will be having a special open house for you on Friday, November 30th (the night before the other open house)

Here is the WPC/NOAA rainfall outlook
A few light showers remain over our eastern counties this morning. That rain will depart.
Here is the WPC rainfall outlook through Monday morning.
Let’s look at totals through next Friday.
The next best chance of precipitation will be Monday into Tuesday. Low confidence in the eventual outcome of that system.
Notice the large totals to our south and east. That gives you an idea on storm track. There remain numerous questions about that event. Monitor updates.
Subscribers, do you need a forecast for an outdoor event?
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 on your keyboard.
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.

- Any remaining showers ending
- Snow showers tonight. Dusting in spots (MO/IL mainly)
- Cold
- Hard freeze.
- I continue to monitor snow chances early next week
Update:
I have increased snow chances this evening into tonight. An upper-level disturbance is diving into the region from the northwest. This will spread scattered snow showers into southeast Missouri (northern counties) and then across southern Illinois. The snow showers should survive into western Kentucky, as well.
Most areas will not see accumulating, however, I can’t rule out a dusting or so in spots. With temperatures falling into the 20’s this could cause icy bridges. Use care.
Wind chills tonight will drop into the teens.
It is a chilly morning across our region. Many of you received light rain overnight. There were some wet snowflakes/sleet pellets reported, as well. No impacts, because temperatures were too warm.
Rain totals ranged from 0.00″ to 0.30″. The higher totals were along the KY/TN border towards Murray/LBL and then eastward.
Here was the radar last night around 9 PM. The blue and pink colors represent snow. There were numerous reports of snow across the northern half of Missouri. There were even some reports of a heavy dusting to an inch or so.
Not too early for snow.
Green represented rain.
Here are some snow photos from Missouri. These are from the last few hours.
6 AM temperatures were mostly in the upper 30’s to lower 40’s. A few counties in southeast Missouri were colder.
The big weather story, over the coming days, continues to be the winter-like temperatures.
January high temperatures are normally in the 40’s with lows in the 20’s. We will be hitting those marks in the coming days. It will not feel like November.
Highs today
Highs on Friday
Lows on Friday night
A hard freeze tonight.
Lows Saturday night
Highs Sunday
Another hard freeze Saturday night.
NOAA’s November 14th through November 18th temperature outlook is a cold one for the eastern United States.
You will notice that the cold is slowly shifting eastward with time. Yesterday’s outlook was showing our region in the center of the cold. Now, it starts to shift east. That could be a signal of a moderating trend as we move towards the middle/end of November. This will begin as early as next Thursday.
This graphic does not tell you actual temperatures. It tells you the chances of temperatures being above or below normal. High chance of below normal temperatures.
Saturday and Sunday
Saturday and Sunday will be dry. It will be cold. WELL below normal temperatures. As a matter of fact, high temperatures on Saturday may remain in the 30’s for many of us. These are COLD temperatures for this early in the season (esp without snow on the ground).
Here is what the GFS model is forecasting for high temperatures Saturday afternoon. It may be a few degrees warmer (using that word loosely) than this.
Keep hope alive (those who don’t like cold air). Here is the GFS forecast for next Friday. We will see how that goes.
Precipitation event early next week.
I continue to monitor Monday and Tuesday for rain and snow.
Some precipitation appears possible Monday afternoon into Tuesday. The brunt of this system is forecast to drop moderate to heavy precipitation across the Gulf of Mexico into portions of the Tennessee Valley and then north and east from there.
These Gulf of Mexico systems tend to be prolific precipitation producers. No lack of moisture. That doesn’t, however, mean our region will be on the receiving end of the heavier rain/snow.
The model guidance has been consistently showing some type of snow event in or near our region.
The problem is in the details. As always, this is the case locally.
The track of the area of low pressure (and strength) will determine how far northwest precipitation will occur.
Low pressure rotates counter-clockwise. If you want snow, during the winter months, then you want to be on the northern side of the area of low pressure.
Here is an example of an area of low pressure.
The problem is that any shift in the track will change the forecast. Well, that is impossible to forecast days in advance.
We can forecast generalities. We can forecast patterns. We can’t forecast specifics (days in advance).
Some models show a band of snow to our north and west.
More often than not, however, the model guidance shows the heaviest precipitation totals to our south and east.
It will be an uphill battle to receive accumulating snow locally. Is it impossible? Absolutely not. The question remains probabilities.
As always, forecasting snow locally is tricky. Storm track, air temperatures, ground temperatures, road temperatures, and other factors have to be considered.
I like to use ensembles when considering a forecast.
Ensembles are bullish on the idea of precipitation Monday and Tuesday. The type of precipitation varies in the ensemble data.
In theory, ensembles give you a better feel for what might happen.
This next graphic is the GFS ensembles.
There are two main model sets. The GFS and the EC (there are more, but these are the two main ones).
Here are the GFS ensembles.
Remember, the more squares that agree, the greater the confidence in the eventual outcome.
If every square was showing one to three inches of snow in our region, then my confidence in forecasting snow would increase.
Many of the squares show some snow locally. Keep in mind, the frames that show light amounts are numerous, but much of that would probably not stick.
It would take a heavier precipitation event to cause the snow to overcome the obstacles. Obstacles would mean ground temperatures, road temperatures, air temperatures, and so on. Could it happen? Yes. Questions, however, remain on the likelihood.
What does this mean?
At this point, not much. It is something I continue to monitor. Typically, winter weather events remain uncertain until 24 to 48 hours before the event. That is just the nature of the snow beast in our region. Slight adjustments in the storm track have great impacts on what happens. Unfortunately, these little shifts can’t be forecast days in advance.

The EC model showing you the mean average of all ensembles.
Notice how the mean average has the heavier snow to our north.
Am I seeing any trends in the data?
The guidance data remains fairly stable. They are all showing some type of precipitation event across the southern United States into the eastern United States.
They have been consistent in showing this. That has not changed.
Here is the Canadian model animation. It has a full blown winter storm.
The time-stamp is located in the upper left portion of the graphic.
Green is rain. Blue is snow. Pink/purple is sleet or freezing rain (or both)
Here is the GFS model guidance animation.
The GFS has been consistently showing this system to mainly impact our southern and eastern counties.
Here is a wider view (late Monday night)
Blue is snow. Green is rain.
These model runs fluctuate. Some runs take it south of us. This particular model runs four times each day.
Monitor updates through the weekend. I will be updating the subscriber blog each day.
