We ended up with an inch of a sleet and snow mixture. The roads are very slick. Luckily our Easter dinner was at my Dads five minutes away.

Temps in Northern Mo are in a free fall being under the surface high with deep snow cover. Out of curiosity, when is the last time somewhere in Mo went below zero in April

I couldn't remember who mentioned that... good call! I have to admit... my initial thoughts on this system were that it fade as the models got closer. I mean EVERY other system like this all winter long started out promising in the long range...and then disappeared around the 48 hour mark. But that was winter...we are now in Spring...so things are a little different now. Yeah the EURO in particular showing the Fgen waning as it pressed in was concerning but it ended up holding together well. These type of systems always do seem to max out across the Plains and fade as they head into the MSRV and Midwest... |

But given time of year, available moisture, and the fact that our drought is broken must have changed the game. Probably will for the next one too if that happens. |

Kirksville down to 11*. Was only forecast to get to 19*. It's probably already bottomed out though with dewpoint at 11*. Freezing fog reported too.

It's cold... but big time lapse rates tomorrow night- any development north of the warm front will have hail potential  |

Well just got in from salting and plowing. Bout 1.5 inches of pure sleet with maybe a little snow and bout .1 of freezing rain. Definitely a high impact event considering the time of the year. Never would I of though I would see ground over come so quick. But a very abnormal airmass for this time of year. On to the next potential Friday. But honestly I am ready for warmth. Current temp 22.7 at the home in st.peters. stay safe on roads lots of black ice.

Chris also mentioned around noon Tuesday. Break the cap... and lapse rates don't get much stronger than this.  |

Kirksville down to 11*. Was only forecast to get to 19*. It's probably already bottomed out though with dewpoint at 11*. Freezing fog reported too. With the high right over... I wouldn't doubt they get well into the single digits. Deep fresh snow cover... Tds will just continue to fall. |

Kirksville appeared to bottom out at 6. That's a cold night for March. For April that's pretty silly

Enhanced risk isn't too far south and east from here Tuesday and the system has been slowing for the last day or so putting the risk between 18-00Z. If we can delay another 3 hours we could be facing a rather significant but fast moving outbreak of severe thunderstorms with supercells merging into a rather stout squall line with all modes possible during the discrete phase with some monster hail possible and mainly winds and hail with the squall line phase. Looks like areas along and east of I-44 in Missouri and I-55 in Illinois including the metro-east will be under the gun with the current timing. However if we miss out it looks like by around mid month the pattern starts to turn milder and storms becoming more cyclonic which could result in a series of storm outbreaks between the 12th through month's end.
As for tonight SPC has everyone under a marginal risk, but a slight risk area will likely pop up right around I-70 in east central Missouri into Illinois where it looks like the better dynamics and better concentration of storms will be mainly late evening into the overnight hours.

Measured 2" snow plus a small glaze of ice on a horizontal elevated surface (Glass table top on my desk) from last nights snow in Rosewood Heights. Was down in Mascoutah (The Orchards) yesterday...it was mostly really odd square-ish sleet pellets and a little rain. I 255 NB between IL-15 and Exit 19 was terribad...all the way up to I-270 was bad.
Roads this AM were good to very good (IL-3 SB to I-270 WB to Lindberg...)

Keeping an eye on late week into the weekend system for more wintry wx....while the gfs takes a more southern route this may actually set up with best potential along 44 into metro....including Union. Im not quite buying a suppressed track that misses us. So snowman i think youre still in business.

Quincy, IL is down to 9*. Coming into today, their previous 4/2 record low was 22* and their April monthly record low was 15*. The coldest official temperature I could find in Missouri for April prior to today was 14* at Columbia.

Ran across this map while looking at something else I've seen that one before. That's the map that made me decide to take Alabama for my exit project at SIU |

Left St Louis area just as the precip moved in and drove back to Lake of the Ozarks through the heart of it. Temp was 38* at 270 and 55 at 3:30pm and down to 26* an hour later in Warrenton. We drove through everything, rain, zr, ip, sn. Some of the sleet was really intense and large and in the heavier snow bands visibility was well under 1/8mi. The video link of very heavy, large sleet was just south of Jeff City and the pic of the interstate covered over was Hwy 54 just south of Fulton. video link  |

Interesting snip from NWS Lincoln, IL.
“With our fresh snow cover here in Lincoln, our low temperature this morning dropped to 1 degree below zero. This absolutely crushed the old record low of 20 degrees, set in 1961. It is also the first time we've fallen below zero in April!
Other new record lows for today include 14 degrees at Peoria (old record was 16 in 1899), and 16 degrees at Springfield (old record was 21 in 1961).
We're researching to see if the Lincoln temperature broke the state record low for April.”
