Bottom line it for me Beau...
For southern Illinois and far western Kentucky...
The forecast for severe or extreme weather risk for today, tonight, and tomorrow: 0%.
The forecast for freezing rain, sleet, or snow today, tonight, and tomorrow: Some light snow and flurries across the northern half of our area and northeast part of our region.
Forecast:
Today - A mix of sun and clouds - a stray flurry and light snow showers over the northern half of our area and northeast half of our area Cold. High near 38 degrees. North winds at 5 mph.
Tonight - Partly to mostly cloudy and cold. Low temperature around 24-26. Light winds.
Monday - Quite a few clouds around. Cold. High near 44 degrees.
Monday night - Cloudy - a chance for rain over our southern and central counties and a chance for a mixture of precipitation across the northern half of our region (more towards Mt Vernon). Low temperatures in the middle to upper 30s. Light winds.
Tuesday - Cloudy with a chance for light rain during the morning hours. High near 46.
More cold weather in the weeks to come - will have to revisit the January and February forecast. Right now I will hold the course. December has turned out as planned. But - I do have concerns about my January forecast.
I am also watching a potent little storm for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. More details in tonights update.
