Title: 2020, The Year In Weather
Post by: WeatherHost on January 01, 2020, 12:07:01 AM
Starting off much above normal for many, severe for some, mild for others.

50s forecast for today, but rain moving back in tomorrow.  Rivers already on the rise (again) and 2" or so certainly won't help.

There's something oddly perverse about 50 degrees just before sunrise on January 2 when the normal high temperature for the day is in the low 40s.

From NWS Hastings, NE discussion 2 Jan 2020

I always appreciate this meteorologist who takes time to discuss the longer range forecast from time to time.

Hope there is some moisture to go along with any cold we get.

Plenty of time yet to do a flip and get really, really nasty cold.  March can be downright unpleasantly cold if it wants to.

Thought I would add additional from Hastings, NE NWS long term discussion. Winter coming for the Plains and West?

That's OK as long as you keep it out there.

We're on track for one of the warmest winters on record, even though we're barely into it.

Have you earned it? The gods/goddesses don't pass out rewards without good reason.  :lol:

The 4-6" band has been wavering around.  Yesterday they'd dropped us to 2-3", now they're back to 3-4", so who knows if they don't?

Forecast for around 50MPH winds could make power outages an issue considering the soggy ground.

Title: Re: 2020, The Year In Weather
Post by: WeatherHost on January 11, 2020, 06:36:48 PM
Been raining for the better part of 30 hours.  I don't remember that happening in distant years past.

At least the highest winds didn't pan out and we didn't lose power.

Well, it had to happen eventually.  Hopefully it will be short lived:

"Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Paducah KY
551 AM CST Wed Jan 15 2020


The main story Sat night through early next week will be cold
weather. An arctic surface high with a central pressure around 1045
mb will move across the northern Plains Monday. This high will
funnel some of the coldest air so far this season into our area. The
nbm has finally come into better agreement with the colder gfs and
ecmwf mos temps, but it may still be too warm. Temps on Sunday
through Tuesday will stay mainly below freezing all day, and
overnight lows will be in the teens. "

They called for 51 today.  It's currently 61 and rising.

Will it get as cold as predicted?  Colder?  We'll see in a few days.

What's the point of a 7 day forecast when they can't even get 3 days right?

So, for a few days, they had those kinds of graphics up along with Hydrologic Outlooks and other items.  This morning I noticed the Hydro shading on the local mapping was gone.  Got to the AFD and see this:

"For the period from today through Tuesday morning, total QPF will
range from one half inch in southeast missouri and southern Illinois
to close to an inch along the west Kentucky/northwest Tennessee
border. Given the lower QPF and reduced soil moistures, this should
preclude any further consideration for potential flooding concerns
early in the week."

At this point I'm guessing we'll see between nothing and 6 inches, but no one seems to know for sure.

Can we hope that the severe was a quick shot and won't be repeated?

Nobody needs that.
