All New Blog!

This post begins a new theme and new approach to this blog.  I will be posting comments about current conditions and weather news as it interests me or as it is brought up for comment and for forecasts short and long-term. 

==============================================================

Low-level moisture remained trapped near the surface and the clouds refused to break today busting the prospects for sun and 60s.  So now we get ready for yet the next “every-other-day” storms system.  This will be a low pressure and cold front that will push into the St. Louis area dragging a cold front to the MS River by Saturday Evening.  Showers will be breaking out ahead of the front and thunderstorms could be strong in N. MS…depending if the warm front that is attached to the system stays south of TN.  The warm sector (south of the warm front) is expected to stay over MS. 

Looks like this system will clear the area and leave Sunday dry with some sunshine but cooler. 

Next, is an upper level disturbance that will drive a weather system into the area Christmas Eve and Christmas day.  The thermal profile of the atmosphere is conducive to some snow mixed in with the rain, however, moisture looks to be limited.  Passing through this time of the year will cause a lot of attention…but may be more bark than bite–stay tuned!

The next weather system is timed to pass through the area on Wednesday night.  This appears more potent and will contain more moisture.  However…temperature profiles indicate an all rain event!

Winter arrives at 12:08 AM December 22nd.
