December 2008 ArchivesI can't recall a year that brought such an amazing array of dazzling but dangerous weather to Missouri and Illinois. 2008 will go down in the books as a year of wild, wet, and tumultuous weather in and around St. Louis. The year was bookended by severe thunderstorms, getting off to an early start with a round of hail, wind damage, and a couple of tornadoes on January 7th.

As of Friday evening at 9:30 I'm still not convinced that the temperature Monday morning will be below freez... The moment we've all been waiting for is almost here. On Monday, December 15 Interstate 64/Highway 40 is scheduled to re-open from I-270 to I-170. Now if the weather will just cooperate. As we head toward the weekend we look forward to a nice warm-up. A brief set-back on Friday as a weak clipper pushes through with a chance for a few flurries. After that it gets windy and mild on Saturday. Sunday looks mild too but there is a chance f... Attention skywatchers! I've fielded a few phone calls and e-mails this week asking about a couple of bright "stars" in the early evening sky.
