Beautiful Day Before More Rain…
Great Day Today…Patchy dense fog will give way to sunshine quickly today along with mild temperatures! Be sure to enjoy as clouds will lower and thicken tonight and give way to a soaker of a Friday. We anticipate a wash out Friday, complete with heavy rain from late morning into the afternoon and evening. We may even hear a rumble of thunder Friday evening. The good news here is that models are trending drier for now Saturday. We’ll mention morning rain, but sunshine should increase through the second half of the day. Sunday will be a fantastic day!
A cold front will move through the region Tuesday and could offer up a shower, but most folks should remain dry. Cooler air will filter in here behind the front, but nothing too out of the ordinary for this time of year.
We target later next week for potentially much colder air…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00″ – 1.50″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

3/11/15 Ag Weather Report
After a dry mid week stretch, a Gulf low will transport copious amounts of moisture into the southern Mid West region Friday into Saturday. This will target MO and IL into the Ohio Valley. Locally heavy rainfall can be expected, including amounts up to 2-3″ across southern portions of the aforementioned areas.
The upcoming 7-10 days will feature two additional storms impact the area, including storm number 3 potentially providing wintry precipitation to northern regions as colder air gets back involved with the pattern. No reasons for specifics now, but make a mental note that the pattern will be trending colder in the coming 7-10 day period.
A cold front will deliver light precipitation (rain and snow) to northern regions Monday into Tuesday.
Another, stronger, storm system is due to impact the Mid West next weekend.
Despite the spring “fling” we’ve enjoyed the past couple of days, the pattern is expected to reverse and deliver a return of the cold around, and after, the 20th.
Note the warmer than average conditions continuing tomorrow. Get outside and enjoy!
Models see the cold returning later next week as troughiness returns.
The CFSv2 weeklies see the reversal coming to a colder than normal pattern, as well.
No one should be surprised by the return of the cold pattern. Here’s a look at the median date of the last 32 degree temperature across the region.
Let’s keep a close eye on the Arctic Oscillation (AO) in the coming days. Should it remain negative then the cold pattern may rumble well into April. After a sharp decline mid month, members vary thereafter. We’ll watch carefully.
The latest drought monitor shows abnormally dry conditions across MN, southern WI, southwestern MO, and northern KY. Upcoming 7 day precipitation will help out southern growing areas, but the northern regions remain relatively quiet.
Great Lakes ice coverage remains impressive, to say the least, for mid March at 69% total ice coverage- a byproduct of yet another frigid winter.
Similar to last summer, the abnormal GL ice may help aid in another cooler than normal spring-summer period.
Speaking of the longer range, the latest JAMSTEC shows widespread cool and wet conditions over the Lower 48 for the March, April, and May period.

Brighter Days Ahead And Spring-Like Air!
Much Needed Vitamin D…After a cloudy, rainy, and gloomy Tuesday, we’ll welcome the sunshine with open arms today and Thursday. Before we talk about the brighter times ahead, beware of areas of dense fog remaining in place through about the lunch hour. The combination of a wet ground and overnight clearing led to rather widespread dense fog across the region. Eventually, the high March sun angle should lead to increasing sunshine as we progress through the day Wednesday. Thursday will feature lots of sunshine. Both days will be unseasonably mild, though today’s high will be largely dependent on just how soon we clear things out.
Another slug of Gulf of Mexico moisture will move north and impact the region to wrap up the work week. Widespread significant rainfall is a good bet Friday into the first half of Saturday.
The weekend won’t be a total washout as sunshine returns Sunday. Temperatures will remain mild!
Another push of resurgent warmth can be expected Monday as highs zoom into the lower 60s with a southwest flow in place before a dry cold front passes through here Monday night/ Tuesday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00″ – 1.50″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Spring Fling!
A true taste of spring weather is on the way for the middle of the week as highs zoom to around 60° (give or take a few degrees) for many.…
