Last night at 10pm, Dave’s forecast had us in the 70s all weekend and 80 on Monday. Now the Fox 2 website says a high of 62 on Saturday, 65 on Sunday? WTH? 850s coming in colder each run... near 0*C Saturday afternoon. 60 may be a struggle. They are warmer on Sunday... but not 70s warmer.
My guess... 60 Saturday 67 Sunday.
Fortunately full sunshine will help offset the coolness. Just look at today... mid 60s have felt more like 75 in the sun. It has been awesome! |

I suspected forecasts a couple days ago were a bit too warm for this weekend...especially for Saturday with a deep NW flow out of Canada in place. I do think we could see a nice rebound Sunday as the shortwave ridging begins to nose in with a return flow developing though.

Sunday is a tough one temp wise... likely be a late day high for the temps- like 500-600pm.

I remember KTVI FOX use to be KTVI ABC Anyone else remember the songs they used to advertise the switch? "ABC's movin' up to thirty" KTVI used Here's 2 St. Louis. I believe they did several different videos/versions (which also were kept on the FOX2 website several years ago). |

I think I figured it out.... This whole ABC/KTVI/Sinclair thing is just a master plan to get Chris "Twinkle Toes" Higgins to appear on Dancing With The Stars. They heard how light he was on his feet and how he could put Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly to shame and TPTB at ABC said "do whatever it takes to get that man and make it happen!" <removes tongue from cheek> |

They had a guy from Baseball Prospectus on KMOX today talking about Albert basically admitting he's two years older Yahoo sports interview than what people believe. He then went on to explain by metrics how an age of 40 fits his decline better than age of 38. In fact he said if he was truly 38 he had the largest drop off ever of anybody entering their second decade that was a superstar in their first. Just think of it. If you figure he was really 34 when he signed with the Angels instead of 32 his numbers look about right. Maybe the Cardinals knew this

The wear and tear on his body was bound to catch up with him. Part of me, while I know it was a sound business decision, wishes that he was getting 3,000 in a Cardinal uniform. |

As we head into next week a few things interest me.
1) Location of the east-west oriented warm/stationary/cold front roughly midweek and beyond. This may have implication on our severe chances downstream of the dryline.
2) Very moist atmosphere with modeled PW values near 1.7" at times. This could contribute to some heavy rain chances at some point as well.
3) Potential for a broad highly sheared not too strongly capped (maybe?) warm/moist sector on D6 may give storms longevity into the night well out ahead of the dryline.
4) The details will change even up to the day of so don't interpret the SPC outlooks too rigidly.

Absolutely beautiful day outside. Full sunshine, temps in the low 70’s, low humidity and a light breeze

When your figure he was a first baseman over half his time here I'm not sure how much wear-and-tear you're talking about. Pretty close to the least strenuous position on the field. You may call third base a little less strenuous. Don't tell Scott Rolen that though; -) I do think Albert was a bit heavy for his frame though. That will pound on you. He did run the bases a lot. Scored over a hundred runs pretty much every year. I just wonder if he'll hang on actively next year. He's definitely replaceable now. Shame on Major League Baseball making next year the first year of the Angels come to town. |

It was probably the working out and training for years on end that wore his body down... not standing at first base for a couple hours lol. His feet are why he declined so quickly. Basically, he has been selling out for homers for 3 years now. Totally different approach because he can't do what he used to be able to do. Still a top 5 hitter ever with a perfect peek run with the birds. |

As has been mentioned already keep an eye on the mid week severe storm threat. The highest odds of severe weather are obviously to the west, but don't take the SPC outlooks too literally right now. There's a real possibility that Wednesday's threat could expand east to include much of Missouri. And of course, the threat areas will move eastward on Thursday anyway.

Six years ago the husband and I went to Westport to the Trainwreck for dinner. Being a weather watcher you'd think I would have looked at radar or heard something about what was coming/developing for us. We parked in the lot and went inside for dinner. We had ordered and were enjoying an adult beverage when the tornado sirens started up. Cue the hail and the wind and all heck broke loose. I swear I could see the windows in the restaurant "moving". Huge hail. I was surprised that management of the restaurant made no effort to move people to safety. We were sitting by a wall of windows and moved away on our own. When the hail stopped we went outside to see the damage. The big parking lot was a disaster. The only vehicle we saw that didn't have broken windows was an older (early 80s) Ford pickup. I'd only had my Jeep about four months. It had $16,000+ damage. What a mess. So grateful for insurance!

Still a top 5 hitter ever with a perfect peek run with the birds. All these suppositions about why he wore out early. How about he was two years older than we thought? I mean planters fasciitis, which was his nemesis, is definitely agrravated by load. Saying the added muscle did it works. Simply working out doesn't do it. |

The weather will get active around here next week. I think odds are favorable that we'll see a SVR or TOR watch on either Wed, Thu, or Fri. The highest odds according to the EPS and GEFS ensembles for around here are on Thursday.

We’ve had quiet spring weather so far, nothing since the last bout of winter! So I suppose there will have to be noise eventually! We shall see! The redbuds are truly gorgeous out there!

It is amazing how much "warmer" 60s feel in late April sunshine vs the shade. Out in the sun it is amazing. In the shade its a bit chilly. I think some may kiss the low 70s today as the ridge retreats to the east. Very dry air loves to warm up fast. It is going to be an awesome day!

As dry as the atmosphere has been lately I’ll be surprised if we will get any rain this week. Of course I haven’t had time to look at any models in the last couple weeks. So I’m just going from current observations. But hopeful it will rain as the top is getting dry and I need a day off it’s 3 weeks straight now since that has happened 😊

I have an 8 year old boy who is supposed to pitch and he is chomping at the bit. If it gets rained out, he is going to be super bummed. |

Starting to head towards that drought-like stuff again. Really need to get some more rain patterns that consistently blanket the whole area in here |
