Steve Templeton: December 2007 ArchivesGet ready for some big temperature changes. This New Year's Eve night the temperature will fall through the 30s to near 28 around Midnight. But the wind will crank up too and strong winds will make the wind chill a big factor through New Year's Day as well. Here's a look at my temperature and wind chill forecast for tonight through Wednesday morning New Year's Eve Midnight Tues...
Here's a link to more info: Click here ...The fine folks at our local National Weather Service have been digging into the record books, and we thank them for some interesting stats. It turns out that it was a colder than average start to December. 16 of the first 17 days of this month had morning lows at or below the freezing mark of 32. Just yesterday (Monday) we hit the coldest low of the season at 11 degrees at Lambert. And of course we know it was a snowy start to the m... One of the reasons snowfall is so difficult to forecast is because small changes in the forecast have large impacts on our snowfall expectation. And if you read Matt's blog below you know one model had flurries and the other had 3-5" for us. Here's why we lose hair over snowfall forecasts...the model that showed flurries is now pumping out nearly 10" of snow for St. Louis! On the other hand, the other model has stuck to it's guns and is sti... Oh brother, it just keeps coming!

From Rolla to St. Louis to Litchfield and Northwest we don't expect a whole lot of wet weather, but some light rain, sleet, snow is possible with little to no accumulation. Southeast of that line we expect nearly all rain. Although we expect any wet weather to move out j... It seems like every day we are thrown another shot of moisture and temperatures near freezing at some point in the day. So, it begs the question, what's next? Rain is the answer for most of us, including the St. Louis metro for Tuesday evening. Areas Northwest however, may see some ice later this evening as temperatures approach and drop below freezing. The farther Northwest, the better chance for ice accumulation. Right now it app... So matt just blogged about our first encounter this season with some Wintery weather, and now we will be very close to the freezing line this weekend as some wet weather moves through. So, let me take you through the details on what we're thinking (Firday evening) for this weekend storm: Ice will mainly be Northwest of the St. Louis metro. While some spots in the viewing area may see some brief periods of freezing rain or driz... |
