The more I dig into the weather for tonight and tomorrow the more I think we will get some wintry mix. As the sun disappears behind the clouds. I have decided to remove the smaller gauge out of my rain collector in anticipation for this system moving in starting off with snow. It looks to be starting off with mix, moving to rain, then the colder air moving in behind the end of this system. Blue Springs may wake up to some light icing Monday morning then warm up and then additional icing on the predawn to several hours after sunrise on New Years.
The isobars indicate some higher winds since they are closer together. That alone may cause some freezing. We are expecting up to an inch of precipitation.
I look at the numbers on my Acu-Rite 5 in 1 and it shows 38 degrees F and steady. Humidity of 59% and falling. The Barometric pressure is 1011 millibars and falling. Winds are 5 mph west north west and a windchill of 35 degrees F.
