Bottom line it for me Beau...

For southern Illinois and far western Kentucky...

The forecast for severe or extreme weather risk for today, tonight, and tomorrow: 0%. 

The forecast for freezing rain, sleet, or snow today, tonight, and tomorrow:  Some light snow and flurries across the northern half of our area and northeast part of our region.


Forecast:

Today - A mix of sun and clouds - a stray flurry and light snow showers over the northern half of our area and northeast half of our area  Cold.  High near 38 degrees.  North winds at 5 mph. 

Tonight - Partly to mostly cloudy and cold.  Low temperature around 24-26.  Light winds.

Monday - Quite a few clouds around.  Cold. High near 44 degrees.

Monday night - Cloudy - a chance for rain over our southern and central counties and a chance for a mixture of precipitation across the northern half of our region (more towards Mt Vernon).  Low temperatures in the middle to upper 30s.  Light winds.

Tuesday - Cloudy with a chance for light rain during the morning hours.  High near 46.

More cold weather in the weeks to come - will have to revisit the January and February forecast.  Right now I will hold the course.  December has turned out as planned.  But - I do have concerns about my January forecast.

I am also watching a potent little storm for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  More details in tonights update.

I am watching a potent Christmas Eve storm.  Portions of the region may end up with a white Christmas.  It is still too soon to make a call on storm track.  However, there is a chance for frozen precipitation in or near our region on the 24th and 25th.  I will have an in depth analysis late tonight and tomorrow morning.
