The warmth has come back in full force as we swing between season’s again going from the 70s for highs this past Sunday all the way to the middle 80s yesterday! Thanks in part to a strong southerly flow at the surface with winds gusting to 25 MPH at times helping to boost our daytime […]

You might just want to shut the windows tonight (unless you are like me and sleep with a couple layers of blankets 🙂 ) as temperatures will dive down into the middle to even lower 40s overnight. Several factors will come together to allow this as our skies remain clear and winds light. Tomorrow begins one […]

We’ll be returning to another fall-like preview in terms of temperatures again for the upcoming weekend but first we’ll have another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms for this afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front. Clouds have already begun to increase across the region with a few showers and storms on radar to the […]

The warmer temperatures and very muggy conditions will persist as we begin the long holiday weekend with highs in near 90 and the heat index surpassing 95 degrees. There will be small chances for isolated thunderstorms during the day on Saturday and Sunday, but nothing that will be a total washout by any means if […]

After several days of below normal temperatures for most of last week this week has been a complete 180 so far as the late summer heat and humidity has made a return to the area. Temperatures yesterday managed to make it into the middle 80s for highs but with the added moisture it really felt […]

Another crisp fall-like start to our day as lows reached into the lower 50s again this morning as high pressure continues to reinforce our cool and dry air mass. We’ll continue to see sunshine and pleasant conditions today before our next chance of rain arrives for later tomorrow as an area of low pressure approaches […]

Our fall-like pattern continues on through much of this week with cooler than average temperatures and dry conditions. Yesterday’s highs only made it only into the lower 70s and the same will be expected for today with a few less clouds in the afternoon. We’ll relax the winds a bit as well since the area […]

Another beautiful day on tap for the area with humidity levels remaining in check and plenty of sunshine expected as temperatures get into the middle 80s by the time we hit the late afternoon. A cold front will continue to progress eastward overnight and bring us a brief chance of some showers and thunderstorms near […]

What a dramatic drop in the temperatures yesterday as we were under the influence of a mature area of low pressure just to the north of the area that kept us in the clouds and even a few light showers from time to time. We actually experienced our high for the day quite early, 70 […]

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded our severe risk to the Slight Risk category for this afternoon and evening. Scattered strong thunderstorms remain possible as a disturbance approaches the area later today. The main threats include large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two. Heavy rainfall is also likely with the stronger storms. […]

Those lucky few that saw showers and thunderstorms yesterday got quite a dousing of heavy rainfall with some places picking up nearly an inch of rain in some spots while others only saw a trace or nothing. Some wind damage was observed near Prairieville (between Sterling and Dixon) with some tree limbs and power lines […]

Our stretch of dry weather will be coming to an end today (I can hear the lawns rejoicing) as a slow moving frontal system begins to approach the area from the central plains. This front will allow a couple disturbances to track near the area allowing widespread showers and thunderstorms not only later today and […]

Our dry stretch of weather continues as high pressure remains firmly in control of our weather pattern across the region. We’ll warm up a few degrees each day as we finish out the work week with the humidity becoming more noticeable by Friday as our high temperatures surge into the upper 80s. The heat and […]

Not everyone experienced showers and thunderstorms today as they remained pretty scattered but those that did got at least some rainfall out of them with most locations picking up another tenth to two tenths of an inch of precipitation in the gauge.  The heavier rainfall remained off to both the east and west of the […]

Thankfully we picked up a few tenths of an inch of rainfall earlier this morning as we ended our several day dry stretch. We could still use more though with another opportunity at some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon ahead of a weak cold front. Some patchy fog this morning is possible with the fresh moisture on […]

Clouds have been on the increase since late yesterday and this is all tied to a disturbance sliding along the stationary front to our south. The clouds should break by this morning allowing for sunshine once again and pleasant temperatures with highs in the lower 80s. A few rain showers will be possible as we […]

A beautiful Monday we experienced across the area with much more comfortable temperatures and humidity levels now that the cold front has finally settled to the south of the area. This pattern of cooler temperatures and comfortable humidity levels will continue through much of the week as we will remain under the influence of high […]

11:38PM UPDATE: The Severe Thunderstorm watch has been cancelled as storms failed to materialize further to the west of the area. Therefore the severe threat has ended. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Severe T-Storm Watch until 2AM. A cold front continues to approach the area from the north and west which will allow […]

Quite the contrast in terms of temperatures and humidity levels yesterday compared to the day before as a cold front swept through the region late Tuesday taking all of the heat and humidity with it. The comfortable conditions will continue today as we will see plenty of sunshine and a nice breeze. Temperatures will reach […]
