Wednesday Forecast Will Bring Rain

Good morning and Merry Christmas Blue Springs! I hope this post finds you well. Last night I explained that the Wednesday forecast will be some significant weather that will bring much needed rain.  The models are are really coming together and the forecast is predicting up to an inch and a half of rain over Wednesday and Thursday which is a good thing since we have been lacking any precipitation here in beautiful Blue Springs!

Last night we had .01″ of rain and it came and went.  If you blinked you would have missed it, but at least some precipitation is better than none although a good ole fashioned white Christmas would have been great.

The window of opportunity for moderate to heavy rainfall will be Wednesday night into early Thursday. Rain should end by Thursday afternoon and start to dry back out. There is no sign of snow because of the warm temperatures. Following Thursday afternoon it will become breezy with 25-30 mph winds with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s! It will be a beautiful day continuing through this weekend with another chance of precipitation Monday into Tuesday.

Christmas Eve Weather and Forecast

Looks like we have a very very very light rain going on outside tonight , but as I type this the rain has become light and steady. With the new Acurite weather station hopefully we will see some rain indications on the rain gauge for the 5 in 1 sensor. Eventually I will be expanding the setup with internet access and more sensors.

Acurite 5 in 1 Sensor

Current conditions are as follows:

Temperature: 43 F and steady.
Humidity is at 57% and steady.
Barometric Pressure has leveled off to 1019 mb and steady.
Winds are at 2 mph from the SW. Gusting at times to 6 mph.
Windchill is at 28 F

The models are predicting a fairly large system coming in by Wednesday that could bring in some wind and much needed rain for the Blue Springs area. Looks like the unseasonable warmer weather will continue to hang on while others west of us will receive some significant snow.
