Blue Springs Weather: Threat Upgrade

SPC Outlook

Blue Springs Weather is going to get pretty active tonight. I wanted to update you all on the upcoming storms we will encounter tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded us to Slight from Marginal. The more severe storms will be located more south, starting at the southern edge of Bates County, where they fall under an enhanced chance.

Blue Springs Severe Weather Forecast

Today we will be dealing with bouts of rain throughout the day and into the evening hours. Normally our temperatures will drop by the time evening hits us. This is not going to be the case today. Temperatures will be going up and the drop after midnight tonight. It is till a little bit early to the max temperature but it looks like we could be at 57° give or take by 10 pm.

  • Blue Springs Weather HRRR Model at 10pm
  • Blue Springs Weather Wind Gust Model

The threats we will be dealing with tonight will be damaging winds at a 15% chance, and large hail at 5%. Although our tornado chances are less than 2%, I am not going to rule out a possiblity of a spin up. We are still early in the game. This is all because we hit solar maximum with the current sun cycle. I am thinking things are going to start winding back down as be progress into spring and summer and the sun will go quiet again over the next year as we progress into another solar minimum. All a part of our transition into a Grand Solar Minimum.

That is about it for today on the forecast. I will update more on social media as things change. On another quick note I have been digging into solar intensity and temperature and found some interesting things. I will post that write up on my Weather Research site later. Take care everyone. MP.

Blue Springs Weather: 2 Rounds of Rain Sunday

Storm Prediction Center for Blue Springs Weather

Good morning, Here is the latest Blue Springs weather and forecast through tomorrow. We did not get much precipitation yesterday—only 0.01 inches from yesterday’s freezing weather. As I have stated, keep an eye on the earthquake situation over the next three or more days. We have a massive earth-facing transequatorial coronal hole passing by. This will cause the solar winds to increase, and it will affect our environment and cause large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the globe, depending on where we are affected. I have proven this to you all from previous Facebook posts. Sunspot activity is still currently at maximum still. You can see that since sunspots are close to the equator on both sides of the hemispheres. Take a look at Space Weather Live for more interesting sun data.

Current Blue Springs Weather Conditions

In this section, I will discuss current conditions. Here are the latest conditions as of 07:14 am. The skies are clear, but that won’t last long. We will shift to overcast for the rest of the weekend. The temperature is 21.8°. The dew point is 21°. The relative humidity is 89%. The barometric pressure is 30.37 inches.

The Forecast

Here is an update to yesterday’s forecast for Blue Springs. We are looking at the HRRR Models for tomorrow. It looks like we will get two rounds of precipitation. Today we will reach a high of about 47°, give or take, by 4 pm. Skies will shift to overcast and will continue to be overcast over the rest of the weekend.

Nothing is expected for today, but tomorrow we are dealing with a marginal chance of severe weather, according to the Storm Prediction Center. However, we are still early in the season for anything significant to happen. Currently, the chances of a tornado are less than 2%. The chances of damaging winds are 5%, and the chances of large hail are 5%. As you can see in the image below, our entire county sits in a marginal chance. The high temperature for tomorrow shows a high of 57°, but that could be a little higher when we look at it tomorrow since I cannot go any further out on HRRR.

As we continue with the forecast, there are two rounds of rain coming in, with the main system being the second system. The first round will be in the area by 11 am, but it will start out scattered, and as time progresses, it will fill in the rest of the area. The second round will begin in the overnight hours into Monday morning. The start time for this will be about 11 pm Sunday evening. This is the main system. According to the Weather Prediction Center, we are forecasted to get three-quarters to one inch or more of rain accumulation with these two rounds of rain.

Conclusion

So that is it for today, so please consider a comment and add it to this post below.

Blue Springs Weather Winter Thunderstorms?

Good morning Blue Springs and Jackson County! Blue Springs Weather will be enjoyable today. We have some spring activity going on today. It could bring us some severe weather. If any severe weather happens today, it will be between 5 and 9 am this morning and again between 6 pm and 5 pm. Those are the times when the Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) is the most. We already had a few drops of rain this morning, giving us a trace for this morning’s COOP report.

Current Blue Springs Weather Conditions

We are currently at 59.5° and 79% relative humidity. The barometric pressure is 29.4 inches and steady. Winds are at 4 mph from the WSW. The dew point is at 55°. Pretty close to the minimum required moisture.

For western Jackson County, we will start the main system at about 6 am, give or take. 7 am for the rest of the county. The system will be around till about 2 pm, and a second round will come into the area from about 3 pm to 4 pm. Both rounds have the possibility of Supercell capability. We are still early in the season for this sort of Blue Springs weather, so these may be weak, severe thunderstorms.

That is about it for today. Take care, everyone.

We may see some snow on Friday, but all the accumulation will be way north in the Minnesota area, which looks like there is a pretty good possibility of some impressive snow amounts there. We may be dealing with rain this Wednesday morning and the possibility of snow on Friday. The rain could be significant enough to give us a decent ground drenching. The WPC tells us we could see up to a quarter of an inch or more in our area.

How is the Strength of a Tornado Measured?

Enhanced Fujita Scale

Enhanced Fujita Scale Measures Strength of a Tornado

The strength of a tornado is determined using the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which assigns a rating from 0 to 5 based on the observed damage. To determine the strength of a tornado, experts examine the type of objects that were affected, the extent of the destruction, and the size of the affected area.

In addition to the EF scale, eyewitness accounts and the presence of other tornadoes in the area can also be taken into account when measuring the strength of a tornado. This is because tornadoes that occur in close proximity are likely to be related and, therefore, potentially of higher intensity.

Size and Shape Affect Strength of a Tornado

It is important to note that the size and shape of a tornado do not necessarily indicate its strength or its capability to inflict damage [1]. Tornadoes can range from a few feet to more than two miles in width and can cause destruction in various ways. For example, some tornadoes may produce winds that cause damage to buildings, while others may produce strong winds that cause trees to be uprooted.

Measurements

To effectively measure and monitor the strength of a tornado, it is important to use various tools and techniques. These can include radar, weather balloons, satellites, and eyewitness accounts. Using these tools, meteorologists can better predict the behavior of a tornado and provide more accurate warnings to the public.

Signs of an Impending Tornado

In addition, it is important to stay alert and be aware of the signs of an impending tornado, such as dark and greenish skies, large hail, and a loud roar. Taking shelter in a secure location and avoiding windows can help keep individuals safe in a tornado.

Measuring and monitoring tornadoes is important to be prepared for these storms and stay safe. Using the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meteorologists and weather researchers can accurately measure the strength of a tornado and provide more precise warnings to the public.
