Make sure you have three to five ways of receiving your severe weather information.
.Forecast Discussion
Good morning, everyone!
Rain fell across the region yesterday. Many areas picked up 0.40″ to 0.80″. A few locations received more than an inch of rain! We needed this rain. It is very dry.
I know farmers are bringing in their crops, but we still need rain. Fire season is here.
Here is the drought monitor map. Double click on it to enlarge it.
You can see drought is spreading across much of the central United States. The southlands are experiencing extensive drought. Severe drought.
So, we need rain.
The rain we received is not enough to knock down the drought. What fell will quickly be absorbed in the dry ground.
There are some counties, over the past two weeks, that have received a bit more rain. Many areas haven’t.
Dry conditions will be with us today through Wednesday.
The only exception will be a small chance of sprinkles today along an incoming second cold front. No measurable rain anticipated, at this time. Occasionally, these systems will pop a surprise band of rain right along the front. Not expecting that.
Another chance of a light shower will develop over southeast Illinois and northwest Kentucky Sunday night. Don’t expect much from that.
It will be chilly over the coming nights. The coldest air of the season, thus far.
Expect 30s and 40s for overnight lows tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday night. Perhaps the coldest air will be Saturday night. Some locations could dip into the middle 30s.
If the wind subsides, then patchy light frost will be possible.
There are frost advisories well to our west. The first of the season!
The next big cold front arrives Thursday and Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will likely accompany the front. It is too early to know if storms will be severe. Monitor updates.
Cooler air next Saturday and Sunday.
Let’s take a look at the GEFS ensembles.
They show peak rain chances next Thursday.
This shows the probability of greater than 0.50″ of rain during a 24 hour period. This would be centered on Thursday.
Temperatures ahead of the front would be warmer than normal.
You can see that here.
Temperatures behind the front will turn colder than normal.
You can see that here. Blue is cooler than normal next Friday into Sunday.
