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.

Blue Springs Weather Long Range Weather Forecast

Blue Springs Weather from GFS

As Blue Springs Weather begins to transition into spring. Maybe. Keep in mind that the Earth does not rotate perfectly; we will be flip-flopping when it comes to temperature and precipitation. The cold is not going away; temperatures will tease us over the next ten days, so don’t put away those winter coats.

Blue Springs Weather Forecast Breakdown

  • Tue 7 High of 48
  • Wed 8 High of 40 – Rain Rain possible
  • Thur 9 High of 47 Rain possible
  • Thur 9 High of 47 Rain possible
  • Fri 10 High of 34 Snow possible Early Morning 3 am
  • Sat 11 High of 41
  • Sun 12 High of 50 Windy

Conclusion

I still think winter will hang on, and temperatures will be cooler as we transition through the Grand Solar Minimum. As we progress through this natural transition, I think our summers will be cooler than usual. We may hit a few hot days, but I would be surprised if we have much of a summer. You can get more information on the GFS from the College of Dupage.

5 Reasons Why Grand Solar Minimum Will Happen

A grand solar minimum refers to a prolonged period of reduced solar activity, such as fewer sunspots and weaker solar flares, compared to average levels. The phenomenon is thought to occur every few hundred years and has been linked to significant climate changes in the past. In this blog, we will explore five reasons why a grand solar minimum is likely to occur in the near future.

  1. Historical records: Historical records of sunspot activity dating back several hundred years have shown a regular, recurring grand solar minima pattern. This pattern suggests that we are due for another grand solar minimum in the near future.

    Solar Minimum Approaching | A Mini Ice Age?

  2. Solar cycle prediction: Solar cycles have a predictable pattern, with a period of roughly 11 years. Scientists use this pattern to predict the solar activity and have identified signs suggesting a grand minimum is likely to occur in the next few decades.

    Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting 2015
  3. Decreased solar activity: There is evidence of decreased solar activity in recent years, including fewer sunspots and weaker solar flares. This decrease in activity is consistent with the beginning stages of a grand solar minimum.

  4. Influence on the Earth’s climate: Grand solar minima have been linked to significant climate changes in the past, including the Little Ice Age, which occurred during the last grand solar minimum in the 17th century. This suggests that a future grand solar minimum could significantly impact the Earth’s climate.

    Link Between Sun’s Energy Output and Earth’s Weather – NASA
  5. Impacts on the heliosphere: The sun’s magnetic field helps to protect the Earth from harmful cosmic radiation. This magnetic field weakens during a grand solar minimum, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the Earth. This increase in radiation can have impacts on our climate, as well as on communication and navigation systems that rely on satellite technology.

In conclusion, there is strong evidence to suggest that a grand solar minimum is likely to occur in the near future. While the exact timing and magnitude of the event are uncertain, we must continue to monitor solar activity and prepare for any potential impacts on the Earth’s climate.

Wind Chill. Chill Out! Stop Using Calculations, Use Measured!

The wind chill, feels like, and heat index. They all three have one problem that makes them fail. They are CALCULATED! What does the media do? They take advantage of this calculation! It plays on your mind and what you are dealing with outdoors. Anyone can handle the weather if they are prepared for it. This post will likely anger some people, but you need to stop and read!

As winter approaches, we often hear the phrase “feels like” or “wind chill” temperature used to describe the weather conditions. While these terms are commonly used to give an idea of the actual temperature perceived by the human body, they are not accurate or reliable. Here are five reasons why wind chill and feels like temperatures should not be used.

Wind Chil is Relative

The wind chill is a theoretical calculation.

The wind chill is a theoretical calculation. The wind chill is a mathematical formula that calculates the cooling effect of wind on the human body. The analysis is based on several assumptions, such as the wind speed, air temperature, and body size, which are not always accurate in real-life conditions. Moreover, the formula does not consider factors such as sun exposure, clothing, or relative humidity.

Windchill Chart

Feels like temperature is subjective.

Feels like temperature is subjective. The “feels like” temperature is based on the wind chill and heat index, which are CALCULATED and not MEASURED. However, it is still subjective and depends on personal factors such as clothing, physical activity, and body type. As a result, what feels like a particular temperature to one person may not feel the same to another.

Different weather stations can have different readings.

Different weather stations can have different readings. Wind chill and feel-like temperature readings can vary greatly depending on the weather station’s location. For instance, a weather station in a rural area may report a different wind chill than one in a city due to the effects of urban heat islands.

Wind chill can be misleading.

Wind chill can be misleading. Wind chill values can often be lower than the actual temperature, making it appear colder outside than it is. It is relative to the individual. What one person thinks is cold, another person is not. It also plays on your mental state when dealing with weather. Media loves to do that.

The impact of wind chill decreases as the temperature rises.

The impact of wind chill decreases as the temperature rises. Wind chill has a more significant effect on the human body at lower temperatures. As the temperature increases, the impact of wind chill decreases, making it less relevant. This means that wind chill readings may not accurately reflect the conditions during warm winters.

In conclusion, wind chill and feels like temperatures should be used as a rough guide and not relied upon as an accurate representation of the weather conditions. The best way to gauge the temperature is to check the air temperature and always be prepared for changing weather conditions.

So please don’t let the media play mind games on you regarding the temperature. The measured temperature is the same in the wind and the calm. We don’t walk around naked in the winter anyways. You prepare, and you dress accordingly. It is common sense. If you go by this, you can make any temperature enjoyable and comfortable.
