Winter Storm Round Two Tuesday Evening

Ready for round two? Here is the latest forecast for tomorrow’s Blue Springs Weather and Jackson County and its impact. Here is the breakdown.

Forecast

6 am Tuesday, System arrives with rain and temperature at 38 degrees.
11 pm Tuesday Rain shifts to snow. Some snow may be heavy.
The system leaves the area by 7 am Wednesday.

Liquid precipitation amounts are not much and look to be about 0.26 inches of precipitation.

Snow amounts for the HRRR models are a little over 1 inch for Jackson County and the Blue Springs area. The Weather Prediction Center shows a 10 to 40% chance of snow accumulations of 4 inches and higher. Don’t hold your breath. There is a 50-60% chance of snow accumulations of 2 inches or greater; for 1 inch or greater, we are at an 80-90% chance. So with those numbers, we are guaranteed 1 inch of snow and maybe a little more. I am sure these models will change again by tomorrow, and if they do, I will reach out again.

Conclusion

The impact will be minor to moderate, depending on the part of Jackson County you live in. The Downtown area is moderate.

That is pretty much it for today.

Significant Snow, Accumulations, and Sub Zero Temperatures

Good evening everyone,

Our current Blue Springs weather is as follows; Temperature is at 27.2 degrees, dew point at 25 degrees, and relative humidity 86% . Barometric pressure is at 30.09 inches and steady. Winds are at 6 mph out of the NW.

We may see significant snow possibilities on Wednesday the 25th, with a current start time of 6 am. Mind you; this is still a way out. It looks like snow amounts may be about 2-3 inches, give or take, according to the GFS.

Even though the GFS snow amounts show 2 + inches for the area, I do not think we will hit that unless something changes. We have about a 70% chance of snow amounts to 1 inch or more, and it drops significantly after that.

The next thing we have coming in will be January 30th. We will end up in sub-zero temperatures with a low of -1 at 6 am. So this coming week is going to be interesting. I will keep an eye on the systems and let you all know of any updates worth reporting. That is about it. Take care. MP

Significant Change For Saturday for Blue Springs Weather

Good evening. Here are the current readings for this evening’s Blue Springs Weather and Jackson County, Missouri. The temperature sits at 29 degrees with a barometric pressure of 30.15 inches of pressure. Winds are out of the west at 11 mph—a relative humidity of 76%. We had a high of 37 degrees and a low of 29 today—a dew point of 25 degrees.

Blue Springs Weather has changed significantly for tomorrow and Saturday. Unless something changes over the next 24 hours, we could see some accumulations, but those accumulations will be less than an inch of snow. I would be surprised if it is half an inch of snow. The start time has shifted to about noon on Saturday.

The models are showing over 1 inch but I would not count on that much. We have a 40-50% chance of 1 inch or greater, according to the Weather Prediction Center.

The high will only be about 34 degrees by 1 pm Saturday. The winds will be pretty calm—less than 10 mph.

Significant Snow Weekend. Get Ready To Shovel Chiefs Kingdom?

Good evening. It has been a while since I brought you an update. With the Chiefs and Eagles (Both my favorites) playing this weekend We may be dealing with some snow during the Chiefs game. In all reality, I want to see the Chiefs play the Eagles this season in the Super Bowl because I believe that would be a great game to watch. The 49ers is going to be a tough hurdle for all the teams playing. So I am not sure if the Eagles will make it, but they have in the past. We will just have to wait and see. Go, Chiefs, and fly Eagles fly!

Here is Blue Springs Weather this evening. So we have been dealing with a wet day today for most of the day and into the evening. According to the Acurite Atlas, We are currently sitting at 34.7 degrees as of 7:28 pm this evening. The current pressure sits at 29.62 inches. Winds are South at 6 mph. Relative humidity at 96% and dew point at 36 degrees. According to the Accurite rain gauge, we received 0.6 inches of precipitation at this time. No lightning strikes were recorded.

Blue Springs Forecast reveals a couple of things. Snow and rain. We may be dealing with snow first thing in the morning at about 7 am, with heavy snow possible by 8 am. The WPC shows no accumulation, but it may be focused on mostly vegetation if it does accumulate. I cannot rule it completely out.

It looks like we will be dealing with some Snow starting at about 3 pm Saturday, according to the GFS. Keep in mind this weather forecast can change. According to GFS, snow amounts are sitting at about 1.7 inches. Don’t hold to that since this is the GFS and can over-emphasize things. I will have a better update

Current Weather Observations and Forecast, Severe Storms Likely

Sounding for January 2, 2023

Good morning. I hope those of you that are off in observance of the New Year is doing well. Here is the latest Blue Springs Weather to include Jackson County Weather. It is pretty foggy out. According to the HRRR, visibility will begin to open up by about 4 pm this afternoon. According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, we are under a dense fog until noon today.

...DENSE FOG ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY...

* WHAT...Visibility one quarter to one half mile in dense fog.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Kansas and
  central, north central, northeast, northwest and west central
  Missouri.

* WHEN...Until noon CST today.

* IMPACTS...Hazardous driving conditions due to low visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of
distance ahead of you.

Here is the latest reading from my Acurite Atlas for Blue Springs Weather. Current temperature 41.5 degrees. He have had a low of 37.9 degrees today. Barometric pressure at 29.95 inches and steady. Relative humidity at 98%. Winds are at 6 mph from the NE. Dew point at 43 degrees. Skies are cloudy. Foggy with a visual range of 0.10 miles. We had some drizzle early this morning about 5am from the fog moving into the area.

Looking at today’s forecast, we are still under a marginal chance of severe weather today according to the Storm Prediction Center. According to all the convective models. I would say that the critical time range for severe weather is between 7 pm and 2 am Wednesday morning. CAPEs seem to be just above 1000. Looking at sounding models for our area, they show the possiblity of a marginal tornado, though the Storm Prediction Center shows a very low chance of this. Tornados can happen at any time of the year and any point, it is just that they are less likly in the winter and fall time frame. Dew points will be around 60 and below during that window so there is some moisture in the air that will provide plenty of moisture for possbile severe thunderstorms.

That is about it for today. God should make it somewhat interesting this evening. I will keep an eye on things and update you with Blue Springs Weather as I see any changes. Take care everyone and be safe this evening. MP

The SPC shows a marginal chance of severe weather and thunderstorms tomorrow. We have a 5% chance of damaging winds and large hail. Tornados are less than 2%. Looking at the convective most unstable (MU) convective available potential energy (CAPE), it does not look like the system will be too awful strong. We may hear some thunder and see some lightning, but from what I see, this system is not going to be too bad. I would not be surprised if they downgrade us.

Winter Snow Spring Temperatures

Good evening. Here I sit, checking out the weather to see when we will be out of this crazy Arctic freeze. I was encouraged to see that the last half of next week will be spring-like weather. We will talk about that here in a few moments. For now, let’s take a look at our current conditions.

Current Conditions

Tonight’s observation as of 9:27 pm shows the current temperature of 6 degrees with a pressure of 30.45 inches and steady. Likely some of you may be dealing with some pain. Winds are at 15 mph NNW and breezy. The relative humidity is 64%, with a dew point of -2 degrees. The air is very dry. In fact, the static is ridiculous in my home. The skies are clear.

[wunderground location=”Blue Springs, MO”]


We have a chance of snow on Monday at midnight. Snow amounts, according to GFS, may be up to 0.4 inches of accumulation

We will soon begin to thaw out finally. I am about tired of the snow and cold weather. We will begin to warm up on Wednesday with temps about 51 degrees. Thursday is the warmest, with the temperature in the week at 66 degrees, give or take by 3 pm. Winds should begin to die down over the next couple of hours.

That is about it for now. Take care. MP

BLUE SPRINGS WEATHER: December 20, 2022

Here is the latest Blue Springs weather update for Thursday into Friday. The wind will be here by Midnight Thursday morning. Wind Gusts will peak at 37 mph by 9 am. Snow drifting will be an issue in some areas. Temperatures will shift quickly to zero by 6 am. Temperatures will continue to drop and be below zero at -6 degrees by 10 am.

The Weather Prediction Center still shows up to a 40% chance for snow amounts 4 inches and the greater. I still think we will not get past 3 inches.

If you are traveling you are in the last few hours till the point of no return. Probably not a good idea to risk it at all. Snow amounts are still 2 inches guaranteed then up to another inch or so for a total of 3 inches and some change.

That is about it so far, till next time. MP.
