What is the primary weather concern?

Several shots of cold air will be the primary weather story.

Falling temperatures today.  Highs will occur this morning.  Temperatures will fall into the thirties.

A cold front will move through the region today.  Light rain is accompanying the front.  Don’t expect much.   Trace amount up to 0.15″.  The rain will push east this morning.

Here was the 6:30 AM radar animation.

See our local radars at the bottom of the page.

.

We do have a chance of snow flurries on Thursday night and Friday.  Additional chances Friday night into the weekend.  Snow totals of 0″ to 0.50″ are possible.  In other words, a dusting.

A stronger cold front will arrive this weekend.  As a matter of fact, it will definitely feel like winter on Saturday and Sunday.  Brrr.

See the video or graphics below for more details specific to your county.  This is a broad-brush overview of the entire region.

Today through Friday night

It will turn colder today. Gusty winds will make it feel colder.

Winds will gust into the 15 to 25 mph range.

This morning’s rain will push off to the east over the coming hours.

That will leave us with some clouds.

Some clearing is possible later today with cold blustery northwest winds.

Dry conditions are likely on Thursday.

By Thursday night and Friday, another system will bring low-end rain and snow chances to the region.

Don’t expect much.  Trace amounts.

Thursday night’s rain/snow probabilities.  What is the % chance of rain or snow?

The bulk of the rain/snow chances will be north and northeast.  Lower chances over southeast Missouri.

Friday will be windy.   Wind gusts above 25 mph will be possible.

Let’s look at temperatures.

Wednesday’s highs.  Falling temperatures through the day.

We are not tracking any significant rain or snow events.

Any snow showers from now into early next week will be light.

Perhaps a dusting of snow for some locations.  Just a reminder that it is winter.

Don’t get too excited over the snow!

I am watching for above-average precipitation past day seven.

It is too soon for details.

This was a big jump from the dry outlook a day ago.  Confidence is medium.

** NEW SERVICE **  I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.

.
We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription.  This does NOTreplace www.weathertalk.com It is simply another tool for you to receive severe weather information.

.

I use it myself. I encourage everyone to have 3 to 5 ways of receiving their severe weather information. All sources can fail, and the more sources you have, the better prepared you will be in the event of severe weather warnings.

.

WeatherCall will call your cell phone or home number if your home is under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning.  It only calls you ifyour home is inside the warning box/polygon. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.

Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.
