It starts off as rain and then shifts over to snow about 4am Wednesday morning October 30th. It ends about 10am Wednesday morning. Depending on which method you use for the model snow amounts equal to .9 to 1.7 inches.That is pretty much it for today. Hope you have a great day and be careful driving to and from work.

October 21st 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! It is Monday. Rain has moved out. Skies are clear. Everything is wet from the system that move through. Pretty sure it was a quiet night, and just rain unless I slept through it all.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

Convective Outlook shows no chance of severe or non severe thunderstorms over the next three days.

MODEL DISCUSSION

Our next chance of weather will be on Wednesday October 23rd, but I’m thinking that it’s not going to produce anything because precipitation and simulated reflection do not match. We will have to wait until we get closer to that day to see if it’s going to do anything or not. Timeframe shows about 7am ending about 4pm. But with the inconsistencies at this time, it may be nothing. October 24th at 7 a.m. looks like a possible chance of rain, but again don’t know the details until we get to that point.Then there is October 29th into 30th, snow chances or still in that forecast. The system starts off as rain. In some areas ice, shifting to snow on the backside of the system. I would say the snow shift will start about 7am Wednesday morning.Models are still changing constantly, but our snow chances look promising for the end of October. Have a good day and be safe.

October 20th 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! It is a beautiful morning. Cuz I went out to check the rain gauge, I looked to the skies. Wow those stars are bright in that clear sky! If some of you don’t have anything to do, go out and purchase a cheap bag of dog food, and head out to dogtoberfest. Hundreds of dogs and their owners walking around, with neat events and vendors. My family and I try and go to it every year. You can find the details on Facebook just dogtoberfest 2019. It starts about noon.

MODEL DISCUSSUSION

Looking at models today, start time for this evenings weather will be around 7pm for Jackson County and about 10pm or so for Blue Springs. Looks like it may start off as a Trace and then increase from there. In time will be about 4am Monday maybe a little after for the major part of the rain. It may missed or sprinkle after that for a short time. Thursday October 24th is going to be a very wet day. This system will start off as Trace rain by 10pm on Wednesday, then increase as the hours progress. Stop time will be around 10pm Thursday evening give or take. I’ll have more details about that as we progressed through the week. That snow I was talking about yesterday has been removed from the forecast at this time. That does not mean that it won’t come back through the models. We will just have to keep an eye on it as the days progress. As for October 30th and 31st, that too will be a wet day through the evening hours of Halloween. Snow has been removed at this time, but it is still too early to tell. Currently it shows snow in Kansas west of Johnson County.

That is pretty much it for today. Have a have a wonderful day at worship if that’s what you do, if not, enjoy your day! God bless you.

Good morning Blue Springs! Happy Thursday. Another clear crisp morning. Heavy Dew on the grass and rain gauge. No precipitation to report. The Moon and the constellation Orion is high in the sky.

The GFS model chose a start time around 2am in the morning, and continuing up until 4pm. Will get a more accurate time frame the day before or the day of. Another round of rain is possible starting around 4pm Sunday, ending by 1am Monday. Looks like we will have a cold front come in on October 25th. It will be 38° by 7am.
It looks like towards the end of the month, there is a substantial cold front moving in causing temperatures in the morning hours to be in the upper 30s. Temperatures will drop into the low 30s by October 29th with 40s during the day. October 30 drops into the twenties in the morning. Then low 30s in the morning of October 31st and temperatures in the upper 40s during the day into the evening.

Remember I talked about October 20th having snow? It is no longer in the forecast. Once again that’s tells you how quickly models can change from day-to-day. This gives you a good idea from a news media standpoint, that models are not reliable, until about the day of. Taking this into consideration, the hype of the weather from the media can be ignored. You do not need to have a degree to look at weather models. Maybe in the near future I will do a video series on how you can do your own predictions and weather readings so you too can be set free from the weather media hype. It is truly really easy to do.

That is about it today. Have a safe trip to work. Enjoy your Thursday.

October 16th 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! Have you ever had one of those nights where your brain does not want to shut off? That is what happened to me last night. I did use some of that time to pray for those that reached out to me yesterday. I feel like I’ve been up all night. Does not help that you get up every morning at 4:30. The way I see it, I can either focus on the fact that I was up all night and be miserable today, or have an attitude of this too shall pass. I’m going to choose the second option.

Another low temperature system arrives around 7am on Monday October 28th. Temperatures appear to be in the mid-thirties. Wednesday October 30th at 1am is something to keep an eye on, as temperatures will plummet to the low 20s. If this happens, October will have its first hard freeze for the year. October 31st does not show any precipitation at this time, and shows temperatures in the upper 40s by 7pm.

That is pretty much it for today. Have a safe trip to work. Praying for all who reached out to me last night. May God bless you tremendously, and encourage you, and empower you, and increase your faith, and show you he is still there.

Don’t freak out too quickly, as the models can change drastically up until then. This is just something to watch as we progress through the next couple of weeks.

That is pretty much it folks, have a great drive into work. Be careful. I will talk to you again this evening.

October 14th 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! Happy Columbus Day! The weekend was a great! After spending time with my Savior at worship yesterday morning, I spent the day with my wife and our grandson while our son and daughter-in-law spent the day celebrating their anniversary. We had a blast! We drove out to Kansas, to Deanna Rose children’s farmstead. We saw a bunch of farm animals. We ate kettle corn. We fed goats, chickens. We rode a horse drawn wagon. We had Taco Bell for lunch. Freddy’s for dinner. The night before my wife and I went to Liberty corn maze with our youth group. We had about 67 people total. We had a devotion, ate pizza, I got lost in the corn maze! I was so exhausted from the weekend, I went to bed at 8:30 last night. It was a good exhaustion though. Got my first QC report from the National Weather Service from September’s weather reports, and there was no problems with any of the reports. It is now on its way up to the Climate Center to be archived and a final QC.

CURRENT WEATHER

Skies are clear, no precipitation report. There’s heavy dew on the rain gauge. Temperature is 38.0°. We had a high of 64.7 and a low of 37.5. Relative humidity is 96%. Barometric pressure is 1014(29.94 inches) and steady. Winds are at 0. Dew point temperature 34°. Feels like 32°.

CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

Convective Outlook for today shows no chance of severe or non severe thunderstorms. Tomorrow shows a chance of non severe thunderstorms. Wednesday shows no chance of severe or non severe thunderstorms.

Models today are all over the place and inconsistent. Two out of the three models that I look at, show no possibility of rain for Tuesday. The third one still shows rain on Tuesday afternoon about 4pm. Friday evening about 10pm give or take is our next major rain event. It will last till about 10am Saturday morning, but won’t have a significant amount. Another larger system will be upon us on Sunday morning early. It will continue into Monday morning October 21st. We’ll have more details as we draw closer to these particular days. Right now it’s just too far to get granular in the details.

That is about it for today. If your employer gives you the day off on Columbus Day like mine, enjoy your day. If not, for those of you that are driving to work, be careful.
