Blue Springs Weather: Possible Winter Storm

Good evening. It does not surprise me that Blue Springs weather shifts back and forth like menopause. This happens every season. Winter, spring, summer, fall. The last system was a fairly strong storm in places with only 0.25 inches or precipitation. Why is that? Why do we shift? Because the Earth does not rotate perfectly. It wobbles and, in turn, causes the weather to shift up and down.

Blue Springs Weather Forecast

For now, we are going to focus on the upcoming Friday weather. Mind you, this is still early and will definitely change and shift a little as we move forward. We will start at about 5 pm tomorrow (Thursday) night. It starts off as rain with the temperature at about 47°. According to the HRRR model for the current hour, the rain will shift to Sleet for a short time at 5 am, then shift to very heavy snow by 6 am. It seems that the snow amount, according to HRRR, is 4 inches. Don’t get excited. The WPC shows no real snow accumulation, and the WPC has yet to miss the mark.

So if anything changes, I will update it on social media. Please consider subscribing to my Weather Research site called Project Stormfront. From his site, you will see real science experiments and research papers based on real science. Eventually, I will have ways to support this page and my research on the weather. MP

Blue Springs Weather Fall Photo Contest

This contest is strictly for fun and no cash or prizes will be given out. This contest is set up to test your talent and creativity through weather and seasonal photography for this page. This will be challenging and possibly difficult for some. I made it that way because I want to show off the beauty of our city’s natural environment and hopefully spark some creativity. One winner will be selected to have their image displayed on the banner of this Facebook page and website at https://bluespringsweather.michaeltpratt.com. Winner will receive bragging rights by being announced on my Facebook page and a blog banner for the rest of the fall season.
