December 26, 2010:

Coming soon - starting next week I will be integrating the hazardous weather outlooks onto the Weather Observatory web-site.  Also - Jason Darnall and I will be adding winter weather radar from GREarth. 

You can find more updates on my Facebook (under Beau Dodson) - Twitter, as well.

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 flurries and light snow showers over the region.


Forecast:

Today - A few flurries and scattered snow showers.  A period of light snow.  Small accumulations possible.  Still some slick spots.  Breezy.  Cold.  High temperature around 33 degrees.  North/Northwest winds at 10-15 mph.

Tonight - Partly cloudy.  Cold.  Low temperature around 17-20 degrees.

Monday - Mostly sunny.  Continued cold - below normal temperatures.  High around 32 degrees.

Monday night - Clear and cold.  Low temperature from 15-18 degrees.

Tuesday - Mostly sunny.  A little warmer.  High around 39 degrees.

We will need to keep an eye on late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for some freezing drizzle or light precipitation - especially over our southern and southwestern counties.

Rain chances increase later on Wednesday into Thursday and again for Friday/Saturday.  Can't rule out some thunderstorms towards the end of the week with locally heavy rainfall.

Couple of graphics for you this morning

The Paducah, KY NWS has issued this graphic.  Pretty much sums up your week ahead.











































The above graphic - from www.wright-weather.com shows what radar is expected to look like on Wednesday afternoon and evening.  You can see a band of showers over our region.  So - some chances for rain on Wednesday and Wednesday night.


















The graphic above shows you how much of the nation is covered in snow!  Quite impressive.
