December 27, 2010:

Coming soon - starting next week I will be integrating the hazardous weather outlooks onto the Weather Observatory web-site.  Also - Jason Darnall and I will be adding winter weather radar from GREarth. 

You can find more updates on my Facebook (under Beau Dodson) - Twitter, as well.

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:  A stray flurry here and there.


Forecast:

Today - Mostly cloudy this morning.  Clouds should thin this afternoon.  Cold weather continues.  High temperature near 32 degrees.

Tonight - Clear and continued cold.  Low temperatures in the upper teens and lower 20s across the area.

Tuesday - Mostly sunny.  A little warmer.  High around 39 degrees.

Tuesday night - Increasing clouds.  A slight chance of freezing drizzle over our far southwest counties (will keep an eye on this).  Lows in the upper 20s.

Wednesday - A slight chance of a mixture of precipitation during the early morning hours.  Then a chance for showers during the afternoon.  Highs around 41 degrees.

We will need to keep an eye on late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for some freezing drizzle or light precipitation - especially over our southern and southwestern counties.

Rain chances increase later on Wednesday into Thursday and again for Friday/Saturday.  Can't rule out some thunderstorms towards the end of the week with locally heavy rainfall.
