Friday/Mid Evening

OK, this will be the last update of the night unless Erik decides to update...

WEATHER CODE for TONIGHT: NON SEVERE

Ok let me explain the new WEATHER STOPLIGHT. Above is a STORM THREAT FORECAST. We will use this for a variety of weather including winter storms, unless Erik decides to make a new one. NON SEVERE means no hazardous weather is expected and/or no severe weather is expected. The SLIGHT risk area means there is a SLIGHT risk for hazardous weather and/or a SLIGHT RISK for severe weather. The MODERATE risk area means there is a MODERATE risk for hazardous weather and/or a MODERATE risk for severe weather. The HIGH risk area means there is a HIGH risk for hazardous weather and/or a HIGH risk for severe weather. If we use the HIGH risk area, a dangerous and potentially life threatening event is possible or likely. Hopefully we won't have to use this at all...

Ok now let's talk weather for the rest of tonight and tomorrow...

Showers and thunderstorms have pretty well cleared out of the area, with only a few scattered storms left across far Southern Kentucky. Lows tonight will stay balmy with middle to upper 60's expected region wide.

Tomorrow a potent cold front will begin to dive into the Midwestern States. This will likely set off a widespread severe weather event across North Central Illinois and most of Iowa. (Latest SPC maps for tomorrow are below) These storms will make it here overnight into Sunday morning, but will be in a weakened state. So for now, I am NOT expecting any severe weather tomorrow night into early Sunday morning. However, if the cold front does speed up a bit, severe weather potential would increase. Although not much severe weather is expected, heavy rain and vivid lightning will be likely with the storms that move through. Me and Erik will keep you updated on this situation as we go through tomorrow.
