This
forecast
analysis covers far southern
Illinois, southeast
Missouri,
southwest Indiana,
western Kentucky, and
northwest
Tennessee
HEADLINES: Fairly calm weather for November will continue into the upcoming workweek.
We will have a storm system move through the area on Monday - this will spark some rain showers. Rainfall totals should be in the 0.10-0.35" range. Perhaps a bit heavier over parts of eastern Missouri.
Temperatures on Monday into Tuesday will be below normal. It will feel cool - especially with clouds and rain showers on Monday.
No severe weather is expected through the upcoming work week. I am watching a bigger storm risk around November 11th-15th. Plenty of time to monitor.
Let's take a look at the GFS model for that time frame - you can see the storm moving in and out
Images from wright-weather.com - click image for a larger view
You can see the isobars wound up - the color areas represents rain and storms
Models also indicate two move storms after this one
See dates at the top of image (again this is the GFS model)
Pink and blue = rain and precipitation
Meanwhile...
Another big storm is expected on the east coast during the upcoming week. This time it won't be tropical in nature - it will however produce gusty winds, heavy rain, coastal flooding, and possibly snow. This will add insult to injury for those still recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
This is the GFS model showing the big storm on election day into Wednesday
Wind: East winds at 10 mph
Precipitation probability - 10% | Rainfall totals: 0.10"
Confidence in this forecast is high
Tuesday Fog/drizzle during the morning hours - quite a few clouds during the day/afternoon..
Highs: in the middle 50s

1. Watching a storm system for next week - somewhere around November 11th-15th - could bring heavier weather to our region. Stay tuned.

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!
