The $5 will allow you to register up to seven phones!

For $5 a month you can receive the following.  You may choose to receive these via your WeatherTalk app or regular text messaging.

Severe weather app/text alerts from my keyboard to your app/cell phone.  These are hand typed messages from me to you.   During tornado outbreaks, you will receive numerous app/text messages telling you exactly where the tornado is located.

 

  • Daily forecast app/texts from my computer to your app/cell phone.
  • Social media links sent directly to your app/cell phone.  When I update the blog, videos, or Facebook you will receive the link.
  • AWARE emails.  These emails keep you well ahead of the storm. They give you several days of lead time before significant weather events.
  • Direct access to Beau via text and email.  Your very own personal meteorologist.  I work for you!
  • Missouri and Ohio Valley centered video updates
  • Long-range weather videos
  • Week one, two, three and four temperature and precipitation outlooks.
    Monthly outlooks.
  • Your subscription also will help support several local charities.

Typical progression on a severe weather day for subscribers.

 

 

 

 

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

 

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given my personal attention during significant weather events.

 

 

WWW.WEATHERTALK.COM subscribers, here is my day to day schedule for your weather products.

 

These are bonus videos and maps for subscribers.  I bring these to you from the BAMwx team. I pay them to help with videos.

The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area. They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.

The long-range video is technical. Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video. Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

Significant changes to the forecast from Tuesday onward.  This is why I placed low confidence stamps on this time period.

.

Friday and Saturday:  Wintry precipitation is not anticipated.

 

Saturday night into Sunday night:  A light wintry mix is possible late Saturday night over southeast Missouri.  Whether it moves further northeast is questionable.

Early Sunday morning portions of the region may still be below freezing before temperatures rise into the 40’s.  Any precip that falls before temperatures rise would fall as a wintry mix.

Roads will be cold.  We will need to monitor the potential of a few icy patches.

Everything changes to rain by Sunday afternoon.

Temperatures may fall enough Monday night for a brief period of a wintry mix or snow across northern portions of southeast Missouri and portions of southern Illinois.  Rain, elsewhere.

 

Monday through Wednesday:  Wintry precipitation is not anticipated.

Here is the latest graphic from the WPC/NOAA.

This map shows you liquid and does not assume precipitation type.  In other words, melted precipitation totals.

Most of this will fall on Sunday night into Monday night.  Locally heavy is again possible.

  3.   Another big rain event unfolding.
  4.   River flooding.

 

Changes over the last 24 hours.

No major changes in today’s forecast through Sunday night.

Dramatic changes in the Monday through Wednesday forecast.  Complete flip concerning precipitation chances Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Confidence in the forecast

Confidence in the forecast today through Wednesday is medium.

 

 

Action?

Monitor updated river flood forecast numbers.  Sharp rises on area rivers are likely.

Monitor road conditions late Saturday night into Sunday morning as some light precipitation develops.   A few icy spots can’t be ruled out.

 

Forecast Analysis and Numerical Model Guidance

Today is a travel day for me.

We had a bumpy 24 hours.  Damaging wind and possibly even a few isolated tornadoes hit the area yesterday.  The greatest number of severe weather reports were from southeast Missouri.  A few reports elsewhere.

A train was even blown over in Dexter, Missouri.  Wind speeds likely topped 70 mph in some areas.

That is all behind us now.

The big story over the next 24 to 48 hours will be the dramatic shift to cold weather.

Portions of the region were in the 70’s the last couple of days.  This morning much of the region was in the teens and lower 20’s with wind chill values in the single digits.

The cold will last into Saturday.

As a matter of fact, our coldest night will be tonight.  Widespread low to mid-teens.

Our next precipitation maker arrives late Saturday night into Monday night.

It may be cold enough late Saturday night for a light wintry mix to develop.  Roads will be cold.  Whatever falls would stick.

The amounts should not be all that great.  With cold roads, however, I can’t rule out icy patches.

Monitor radars and my updates.

The light wintry mix will change to all rain by Sunday late morning into the afternoon as temperatures rise above freezing.

Any accumulation Sunday morning would be light.  Again, however, with cold roads, there could be a few icy spots.

Rain chances will continue into Monday night.

Locally heavy rain is possible Monday/Monday night as yet another cold front pushes across the region.

I have removed precipitation chances from the Tuesday and Wednesday forecast.  Remember, at one time that was a rain or snow event.  Models have been horrible in the medium to long range.  Be sure and pay attention to my confidence levels in the daily forecast numbers.  That gives you a decent idea of what I am anticipating as far as potential changes in the forecast.  A low confidence rating would mean that changes in the forecast numbers will likely occur.

Severe weather does not appear to be a concern Monday or Monday night.  That is some good news.

Let’s take a look at the NAM model future-cast radar.

This takes us from Saturday night into Monday.

Green is rain.  Blue is snow.  Pink and red would be a mix.

Rain should come to an end by Tuesday morning.

We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars. If a radar does not update then try another one. If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5. You may also try restarting your browser.

The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.

During the winter months, you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging. We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather. The app typically will receive the messages instantly. I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated. You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.
