Saturday night: Severe weather is not anticipated. No snow or ice.
Saturday night: Will there be a risk for non-severe thunderstorms? No
.
HEADLINE: It was a chilly start to Thursday morning across the region - heavy frost here at my place in central Massac County, Illinois. The temperature fell to 28 degrees inside the weather instrument shelter - which should have the most accurate reading. A separate thermometer hit 29 degrees. Chilly!

Saturday morning will have a cold start and then a mild afternoon - seasonable temperatures. Sunday will be even warmer with above normal temperatures.
.
Normal lows for this time of the year are around 46 degrees and normal high temperatures for this time of the year are around 70 degrees.
.
There will be a weak disturbance push through the region on Sunday - a very small chance for a shower. A few more clouds may be the most noticeable difference in the weather (and warmer).

1. A storm system will move into the region on Tuesday night into next Thursday. We should have a decent shot at rain during this time period. Perhaps centered on Wednesday for the most likely chance. Thinking right now is that rainfall totals will be in the 0.20-0.50" range. Still several days away - will monitor and update.
.
Next weekend should be dry and cool. The next couple of weeks should bring mostly below normal temperatures. Several Canadian High Pressure systems are forecast to move into the eastern half of the United States. These high pressure systems are normally associated with cool weather (cold weather in the winter months).
.
The long range pattern this winter favors below normal temperatures. There is little reason, unfortunately, to think that our extreme weather pattern is over. We have been in a pattern of extremes for the last decade.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio.
