I just read that Channel 5’s Chief Meteorologist is leaving. I think Chris would be a great leader and Chief.

I just read that ! station that sounds like "hive" !’s Chief Meteorologist is leaving. I think Chris would be a great leader and Chief. I wouldn't touch Ch 5 with a ten foot pole...they are bailing left and right for a reason, I'd say. |

I haven't considered them a reliable news source for years. But again, my opinion |

Maybe just maybe if we change the tread from "March madness" we will have more seasonal weather ☀️⛈🌤🌞💐

I hate their graphics the switched to. Just seems too simple and modern. IMO.

Ch 5 hasn't been the same..weatherwise at least, since the sad ending of Bob Richards. He was so great.

This would be a beautiful day...in late September!
Of course...it will be 89 degrees the last Saturday of September this year and there will have been no rain for 3 weeks 😁

Thinking about building a fire in the fireplace. This is very odd for May 11.

So sorry Labrat! I felt for anyone doing anything outdoors today! Just can’t predict or control Mother Nature! Celebrate this day anyways! Hugs!

While the sentiments are appreciated...I am quite happy where I am...and nobody has reached out to me anyway lol. FYI...Craig is a great guy and I am happy he is heading back east for a great opportunity for he and his family! |

I was just researching that thank you sam. I believe we topped out at 51? Previous record of 53 in 1960? I was looking at the GFS for the next 10 days or so...looks like we jump to summer within the next 6 or 7 days with temps back into the 80s...and it looks like we stay there for the rest of the outlook period. Hopefully the water in the pools are warm enough for Memorial Day. I'm wondering though if we will see a relatively cool summer overall...or perhaps a wide variation in temps from low 70s on some days, to low 100s between J, J, and A.

Every few years it seems we get an exceptionally cool Mother's Day weekend. Usually accompanied with gray, drizzle and/or rain.. Just that time of year where winter is trying to hang on by its fingertips.
Not every year we break the low high temperature, I'll grant you.

The old timers call this weather BlackBerry Winter. Comes around about the time they begin to bloom. Seems to happen every year. It's kind of like Indian Summer in the fall.

Taking a look at some of the deterministic and ensemble modeling over the last couple of days I think by around the 7-10 day range things are going to get more active, perhaps much more active, in terms of severe weather across the plains and central US. As we potentially get into a pattern of fast southwesterly flow aloft from the lapse rate source region and southerly flow near the surface out of the Gulf this should set the stage for some "loaded gun" environments at times I think. Definitely nothing out of the ordinary this time of year, but nothing is ever certain that far out so we'll just have to stay tuned to see if this pattern really does develop and persist.

Was thinking along the same lines...the large-scale pattern has "the look"...but with the overall long term quiet trend of severe weather/tornadoes it's tough to put much weight into a setup that appears to favor severe weather outbreaks or anything widespread for that matter.
One thing is for sure...we lucked out big time this past week with much of the heavy rainfall avoiding the mid-MS Valley as the crest moves downstream. But we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot with levels only slowly dropping and still way above flood stage as we move towards summer.

Reed Timmer seems pretty pumped about some big time severe weather late week in the plains. Says he hasn't seen this kind of setup since 2003-2004. Not sure if that will move into our area by the weekend? But i know 2004 was a pretty darn active yr for MO!

The jetstream forecast he posted would favor the S/central Plains into the MS Valley with lots of diffluence/divergence spreading over the region. Edit: He's also rallying the troops for donations to support his adrenaline addiction, so take it for what it's worth 7+ days out... |
