Kent Ehrhardt: February 2007 ArchivesLatest storm system on track to rattle us with thunderstorms overnight and into Thursday. Threats focus on strong winds and hail late tonight. Heavy rain potential warrents a Flash Flood Warning for northern parts of the viewing area. A broken line of storms should form over western and central Missouri early on Thursday morning then race east through our area and exit before noon. This line may contain supercells which could produce to... This next storm is very similar to the storm that wrecked most of last weekend. It really seems to want to wrap up into a tight circulation which means lots of wind. Wouldn't be surprised to see some gusts to 40 mph Thursday. The SPC slight risk area is very similar to the one posted late last week. Although we had a couple of cells go severe in Warren and St. Charles counties the worst was to ou...
It's funny that during December (the 16th warmest December on record in St. Louis) I was asked, "Where's Winter?". Now the question is more like "When is Winter Over?". If you want it warmer, then you're in luck...sort of. Friday morning will be one of the if not the coldest morning of the Winter. But then it warms quickly Friday afternoon, and by next week we'll be b... Very impressive Winter storm. I was outside for live shots at noon Downtown and thought for a minute I was in Chicago. Haven't seen a storm like this for a while. Our reporters and photographers are arriving back at the station from their morning assignments and they're pretty rattled by the driving conditions. Even though the accumulating snow is tapering off as of right now (12:45 pm) strong winds and falling temperatures are going to make t... We appear to be locked in to this cold pattern for at least the next 2 weeks. There may be some brief excursions above freezing but the normal highs this time of year are in the low to mid 40s. That's the bad news. The good news is that in 2 weeks we'll be into the last week of February and closing in on Spring! In the mean time here's the latest 8 to 14 day temperature outlook from the Climate P... When you mention El Nino most of us here in the midwest think of dry, mild Winters. On the west coast they relate to wet winters and mudslides. In Florida and along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts El Ninos supress hurricane activity (that's a good thing). But each El Nino has it's own unique characteristics. Some are weak and others are strong. Some extend through more than one season while others come and go relatively quickly. This Win... |
