Say HELLO to Mr. Spring!!!!! ---
Warmer air arrives today - not that Saturday was cold - but today will bring 70s back into the region. I don't think we can complain about 70s in March. Now - just because it is spring doesn't mean winter is over. Well - okay - winter is over. HOWEVER, winter like weather may not be over. I would not be surprised to see some cold shots well into spring. Whether that spells additional snow threats - stay tuned. ---
A stray thunderstorm is possible on Sunday afternoon over the region - if a storm does form then it could be strong (isolated severe). These storms are not forecast to be widespread - but rather isolated. If they develop at all. ---
I am watching a system for the middle of the week - then a stronger system towards next weekend. Can't rule out some strong or severe storms with those two systems. The system next weekend may have a bit more instability to work with.---
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a risk area for portions of our region on Tuesday/Wednesday. I will keep an eye on the system and update accordingly. This seems to be a low risk threat - at this time (at least for our immediate local counties). ---
The better chance of severe weather on Tuesday/Wednesday may end up being just to our west and then again just to our east. Timing is everything with severe weather - so if the system speeds up a bit or slows down then I will have to adjust my thinking.---
Rivers will remain high for the next few weeks - although the Ohio River continues to slowly fall.---
Stay tuned for updates.

The bright colors are cloud tops. The red and white areas are tall/cold cloud tops. Quite the complex of storms and rain. Most of the deep red area is located over Missouri - I also included temperatures at the time of the image grab. This was taken around 9 pm Saturday evening.
Warm! Cooler air will filter in behind the cold front on Tuesday night and Wednesday.

There was a rather large area of showers and thunderstorm over Missouri on Saturday night. I did grab this satellite image of the large complex of storms as it moved east/northeast through the state. There were quite a few warnings earlier in the day - mainly for hail. This is a rather large image - so I will reduce the size and you can click on it to view the large size.---

Here is a glimpse of the big storm for next weekend - again, long way off - but worth watching. This could produce some severe weather in the central United States. Click on the image for the full size. You can see the area of low pressure over Missouri. Remember that the pink and purple areas are precipitation (showers and thunderstorms).
