Good rainy Saturday morning!
The rain we have been talking about all week has finally arrived. Rainfall totals of 0.00-0.30" has been the forecast. Not everyone will see measurable rain - but most of us should see at least a little bit.
Cooler weather for tonight and tomorrow. A roller coaster pattern for the next two weeks.
Regional and local radar can be viewed here - click here.
The seven day forecast feed is down this morning.
But - here is your forecast
Today: Showers, mainly before 5 pm. Fog. Temperature falling to around 50 by 5pm. Southwest wind between 5 and 10 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly clear, with a low around 32-34. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 56. Calm wind becoming west between 4 and 7 mph.
Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 30. Calm wind.
Monday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 56. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph.
Monday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35.
Tuesday: Partly sunny, with a high near 60. Calm wind becoming southwest between 5 and 8 mph.
Your morning weather map:
A system will pass to our south on Monday night and Tuesday. This could spread some rain - especially tou our south and east around Tuesday. Will update tomorrow on that subject.
A clipper system will move southward from Canada on Wednesday night and Thursday. This could produce some rain over our area - light. This storm could also produce some rain/snow or mixed precipitation across portions of central and northern Illinois and central and northern Indiana. I will keep an eye on the eventual track.
Next system should arrive later next weekend. Plenty of time to discuss that during the upcoming week.
The models are horrible right now - one has to almost discount the majority of them. I am bullish on the EC for the short and medium range. GFS is not handling the cold weather very well (these are models - EC and GFS).
Looking for several shots of cold weather over the next 10-14 day period. Mixed in with a battle of the warmer air trying to spread north and east from the southwest. We will just have to keep an eye on the pattern. It would be conducive for storm development.
If you are interested in the new GR Earth Radar Software - check these images out from early this afternoon. A snowstorm up north!
The top two images are 3 hour snowfall - the bottom image is the new precip typing algorithm. Great work, once again, by Mike Gibson!
