A line of showers and thunderstorms are rapidly advancing on us as of 9pm. While they won't be severe weather-makers, they'll sure bring some soaking rains to the area. The line will come through after midnight tonight, bringing at most some lightning and downpours. This line has made a mess in the Midwest, with tornado reports from Missouri to Oklahoma.
We'll see showers end by tomorrow afternoon, but temperatures will only recover into the lower 60's... a far cry from today's nearly 70 degree temperatures. Wednesday will see highs topping out only in the upper 50's, but luckily there won't be any rain. More storms for Thursday and Friday.
Will the rain ever end?

3/29 - 11am - No Forecast Video
Sorry folks, can't get a video forecast out today due to my schedule.
Storms will be on the increase by Sunday and Monday, but luckily the severe weather will stay west of us again (at least I think so at the moment). Tomorrow will be in the mid-60's and Monday will breach 70! We should clear out on Tuesday and Wednesday with highs only reaching 60.
So it looks pretty active precipitation wise this week, but at least temperatures will hold above 60 for the most part. Have a good weekend. Go Cards!

3/26 - 7pm - Here Comes the Rain
There's a batch of showers and thunderstorms on the radar just west of here that will make its way in during the evening hours. The thunderstorm part is falling apart, but the rain is still there. After tonight's rain, things will temporarily clear out until Friday. We'll see more rain on Friday and then we get a break for the weekend, although temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler than they were today.
Monday is a problem. We're going to get soaked from dawn to dusk, adding on some huge rainfall totals to what we will already had from later this week. The HPC thinks we're going to get an accumulated 3" or so of rain by Monday. This is obviously a problem since the ground is still saturated from last week's mess. Another flooding mess in the works...

3/25 - 5pm - Slim Severe Chance, Washout Coming
The SPC has issued a 5% severe risk for us on Thursday into Friday. While that isn't anything really, the rain looks more impressive on an impeding Monday system. The GFS is painting real dark shades of blue and green here, meaning the rains will be quite intense on Monday. I think that the flooding problem will rear its ugly head again with the rain from Monday and all days previous that see any rain (adding up to an inch or so prior to Monday).
Stay dry!
Stay dry!

3/24 - 6pm - Spring Storms, Coming Soon to a Sky Near You.
I think it's possible that we'll get a round of severe storms this week. The CAPE model is plotting some decent instability in the plains states, but it's too far out to see if there will be any good instability here. I wouldn't say the GFS has a squall line coming through here, but there is certainly some rain coming on Friday when all this could take place. It's simply too far out to tell where the severe weather will go, but there certainly is the chance. We'll at least see more rain, which doesn't bode well for our flooding issues around the area.
In any case this is a good time to remind everyone that we're getting ready to enter spring storm season. Just make sure your weather radios are working and your severe weather plans are in place. With the year we've had so far, who knows what this spring will bring.
Enjoy the warm weather!

3/21 - 5pm - Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's Almost Here!
I really wish that Saturday and Sunday could be as nice as today, but unfortunately that's not the case. Saturday will look like today in terms of sunshine, but the stark difference will be in temperature... upper 40's.
There's a chance for rain this Easter Sunday, but that looks like a night chance at best. 48 degrees isn't the best temperature for Easter egg hunts, but at least it'll be dry.
During the early part of next week temperatures will rise back into the lower 6o's and hold there for the remainder of the week.
