Good morning, everyone. We are waking up to bone chill temperatures. Some of our counties have dipped below zero. Wind chill values are below -10 in some areas, well.
The nation as a whole is shivering.
This is dangerous for kids at the bus stop. Bundle up.
Here is the 6 AM wind chill map. Brrr!
Here are the 6:30 AM temperatures. Again, bitterly cold.
Cold cold cold.
Today will remain bitterly cold. Protect yourself from frostnip and frostbite.
Our next chance of precipitation will arrive Thursday and Thursday night. This winter weather event will be light.
Temperatures will likely support a wintry mix this time around. That would be freezing rain, sleet, and snow. This raises increasing concerns about icy roadways redeveloping.
Focus on impacts and not totals. A light event but high impact, because of icy road conditions. Even a light amount of freezing rain, sleet, and snow will cause issues. Same as this last event.
The chance of precipitation will be higher over the Missouri Bootheel into extreme southern Illinois, western Kentucky, and northwest Tennessee.
The chance of precipitation will be lower over northern portions of southeast Missouri and northern portions of southern Illinois. At least during the day Thursday.
Another arctic front will push across the region Thursday night. This will increase the chance of snow showers area-wide but especially over our northern counties.
Snow totals would likely be light (less than an inch or two). Perhaps enough to coat the roadways. Focus on impacts and not totals. Icy roadways would be the end result.
Here is the probability of 1/2″ of snow or more Thursday into Friday.
Bitterly cold temperatures Thursday night into Saturday night.
Some good news. A warming trend begins Sunday. I chose a handful of local cities/towns to show you the warming trend as we pull into next week. This is great news.
Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
Mayfield, Kentucky
Carbondale, Illinois
Next week’s temperature outlook favors near normal to above normal temperatures. A wetter pattern, as well.
