Temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s until about Sunday evening, about 6 pm, when the temperature will tank. The temperature will be around 36° F by noon.

The sun is pretty active, according to the Space Weather Live website. We had a fairly large earthquake in China at 6.3 magnitude and it killed 191 people. We also had a Volcanic eruption the day before the earthquake in Iceland. Caused by the Coronal hole that passed in front of us a few days before.

That is about it for today. Take care. MP

Will Blue Springs Weather Have a Beautiful White Christmas?

White Christmas

I know some of you Blue Springs weather snow lovers are itching to find out if we will see a white Christmas. I can tell you this. I am thrilled to announce that the models are showing some incredible spring-like temperatures and rain that morning and coudy skies all day as of today. As I have mentioned on my Facebook page, the solar maximum for this year would cause this winter to be warm. It has nothing to do with anything else. This warm weather has a simple and basic explanation. It is God and a very active Sun we have been dealing with.

According to the GFS Temperature model from the College of DuPage, it looks like we will be starting off at 54° F at 6 am in the morning on December 25th. As the day progesses we will be seeing a high of 58° F give or take by 3 pm. As of right now we will be dealing with rain and no snow from Christmas Eve to Christmas morning,

That is about it for now. If anything changes I will make sure I post an update on Facebook. MP

The coronal hole is on its way to the eastern hemisphere, and so far, it has produced an earthquake in the Philippines at 7.6 and a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna in Europe.

Sunspot activity has declined since my last post about this on November 26th.

Lots of exciting events have occurred from our active sun. I don’t downplay that people got hurt from a 7.6 magnitude earthquake. I prayed yesterday for quick recovery and safety in the Philippines. The sun has a tremendous impact on our planet’s environment and weather. Just like the sun is a type of Christ in the Bible, which affects our climate, God controls our temperature and environment, and it is God that provides the signs from heaven to reveal the events. That is about it. Take care. MP

Sunday Weather Forecast – November 19, 2023

Good morning everyone. We will get to the Sunday weather forecast shortly. I woke up this morning to view the security cameras, and we had a nice-sized buck pass through the neighborhood. I am pretty sure it was lost. It likely showed up due to it being hunting season. It was right about 4 am when it showed up.

I spent Saturday cleaning out the leaf-infested gutters and unclogging the downspouts. Did not take long at all. I’m almost done with the leaves on my property. I spent several hours cleaning up the pine needles from the large tree next door. I’m not too fond of pine trees. Their needles destroy ground nutrients if you don’t clean them up. They kill any vegetation around the area and destroy the soil’s PH. It hinders grass growth, too. To get back that grass, you have to either cut down the tree and/or replace the soil with good soil and plant sod or grass seed. The best solution is to get rid of the tree. They get pine cones and needles everywhere. I had one and got rid of it. The grass still does not grow right from it. Anyway, I digress. Let’s get on with the weather.

Sunday Weather Forecast

Tonday’s weather will be wet over the next 24 hours. Models are showing we could get a decent soaking, so if you were planning on doing any yard work, you have till about 2 pm to do that. It does show rain upon us by 3 pm today. You may hear a rumble or two of thunder while this system moves through the area. The Storm Prediction Center still shows just a chance of non-severe thunderstorms, which is to be expected since we are out of our peak season. Rain amounts are looking to be somewhere around half an inch to an inch for the Jackson County area. Rain amounts are much harder to get than snow amounts. We will reach to about 63° by 1 pm.

Current Weather

Our current temperature sits at 41° F. The barometric pressure is at 29.82 inches of mercury, humidity is at 73% Relative and skies are mostly clear since I see a few light clouds in the sky.

Space Weather

Sun activity is pretty minimal and quiet. We thought it was goung to go spotless for the first time in Solar Cycle 25, but that proved to be wrong and 3489 showed up. Looking at today’s image from Space Weather Live, we have two more sun spots that popped up ont he weatern hemisphere 2490 and 2491. That small coronal hole is slowly making its way acrossed the equator and is now passing through the eastern hemisphere. We do have an earth directed solar storm from a filliment on the 15th and should be here by Monday. We may have an increase of sunspot and solar activity.

That is pretty much it for today. Enjoy your day today.
