Clouds Slowly Exiting

Good Monday afternoon. The clouds have already cleared western parts of Region 8 from a Jackson County to Oregon County line and west. Here is the latest snapshot of visible satellite as of about 1pm.

The clouds will continue to slowly move to the east and by later this afternoon we should at least see some sunshine in areas that still have the clouds. Places like Hardy, Batesville, Mtn. Home, Mtn. View that are seeing full sunshine right now will see highs top out in the upper 50s. Elsewhere low 50s look like a good bet.

High pressure works in and brings plenty of sunshine on Tuesday along with temperatures well into the 60s. Wednesday a few more clouds will move in, but overall it will still be nice with highs around 70.

Thanks fro stopping by the blog. Have a great week!!

Quick Update

I've not posted for a few days, but I'm back now. I don't know if you've noticed over the last few days the temperatures have been warmer than what was thought. So that means it's time to up those temperatures a bit. No seven day forecast tonight, but I'm going to break down the forecast for the next couple of days.

1. Friday: We will see abundant sunshine and temperatures will warm to near 56 with some locations getting close to 60.
2. Saturday: Mostly Sunny and southerly winds will send temperatures into the upper 50s to near 60.
3. Sunday: Partly Cloudy, but still very nice. Highs will warm into the 60s.

I will have the latest forecast tonight on Region 8 News at 5pm. Until then, enjoy the beautiful Friday!!

Tuesday Thoughts

First of all this will be short because I'm feeling under the weather. However I'm going to give you an update on the weather...see what I do for you folks.  ;)  LOL

The clouds have broken up giving way to a clear sky for most of Region 8. As we go through the overnight a few clouds from the north look to move south. Temperatures will drop to near 30 with some areas dropping into the upper 20s.

We will see a few clouds on Wednesday, but most of those will likely be in the morning hours and decrease through the day. High pressure will be taking over and control our weather through the weekend bringing nice weather and warmer temperatures. 

An area of low pressure will be developing in the plains on Sunday and start to really crank on Monday. At that time a cold front will push across our neck of the woods bringing some showers and storms.

Here is the NEXT 7 DAYS

Thanks for stopping by the blog...it's time for some rest and hopefully I start feeling better.  Take care!!

New Blog & Forecast Ahead

Good evening and thanks for stopping by the new blog. Over time I plan to keep adding new features to make the blog even better. I appreciate all of you taking the time out to read my thoughts on the weather. I hope this will help you better understand the weather and what we can expect to see in Region 8.

Moving on to what's going on in the weather department. Last night in my forecast I talked about an area of low pressure that would track to our south keeping the rain south of the area, but would bring clouds. That indeed has been the case today.
This area of low pressure will continue to slide to the east on Tuesday, but this system plus an upper trough will provide more clouds. High pressure will start to take hold on Wednesday meaning drier/sinking air. We will see decreasing clouds throughout our Wednesday and temperatures will begin to warm.

An upper level ridge will move in on Friday and continue through most of the weekend. This will mean even warmer temperatures with 60s by Sunday. Models diverge with the placement of a storm Sunday into Monday, which would have an effect on us. As of right now I think we stay dry on Sunday with rain and storms on Monday. Right now the way the setup looks for Monday's storm, we could see strong storms in our area. Just throwing that out there.

Here is the NEXT 7 DAYS:
