This forecast analysis covers far southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, southwest Indiana, western                       Kentucky, and northwest Tennessee

HEADLINES:  Our weather will be dominated by high pressure for the next few days.  No precipitation is in the forecast through Thursday.


Calm weather - no drama - nothing dramatic.  Cool days - chilly nights.  Enjoy!

It appears we will have 2-3 storm systems before the end of the month.

Too early for specifics on rain vs thunderstorms - too early to make a call on frozen precipitation before the end of the month.   Stay tuned!


No problems


No.

 

No wild cards in this forecast!

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week!  For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.





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 - that is what I use here at my house!
