TIMELINE: Rounds of storms deliver a number of inches of rain, extreme climate risk this weekend
THE SENATE. 517 HERE ON OUR THURSDAY MORNING, WE HAVE ENJOYED SOME FANTASTIC WEATHER THESE PAST COUPLE DAYS. BUT YOU SEE WHAT RANDI HAS OVER IN THE WEATHER WALL OVER THERE. CHANGES, CHANGES. AND JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND. SO I THINK EVERYONE CAN ENJOY A SPRING STORM. IT JUST WOULD BE BETTER IF IT WAS DURING THE WEEK INSTEAD OF THE WEEKEND. ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE SOME TIME OFF. SPRING SPORTS, THE SAINT PATRICK’S DAY PARADE. THERE’S A LOT HAPPENING, BUT AGAIN, AS STEVEN, YOU’VE MENTIONED IT, SIT AROUND, WATCH BASKETBALL. THAT’S ALWAYS THAT’S AN OKAY OPTION TO HAVE TO REALLY? YEAH. YOUR PLAN B IS WATCHING BASKETBALL ALL WEEKEND. I THINK YOU’LL BE OKAY. BUT HERE’S THE DEAL. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS MAP BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONGER STORMS. THIS WOULD BE TOMORROW NIGHT. AND NOTICE THE WORST OF THE WEATHER. TWO STATES AWAY. SO ILLINOIS INTO MISSOURI. THESE ARE THE SPOTS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE HARDEST HIT AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES IN OUR DIRECTION. TIMING WISE, THEY WILL BE RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS INDIANA, AND WE’LL GET WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER AND THE PRE-DAWN HOURS ON SATURDAY. SO THOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME VERY STRONG STORMS TO OUR WEST, WE’RE LIKELY GETTING THEM KIND OF WEAKENING, MAYBE SOME GUSTY WINDS KIND OF FALLING APART AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TOWARD US SATURDAY MORNING, THERE’S AN ADDITIONAL ROUND OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND YOU CAN SEE FOR OUR AREA RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, A SLIGHT RISK FOR SOME STRONGER STORMS SATURDAY. WHETHER OR NOT THE STORMS ARE SEVERE, WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME GUSTY WINDS AND WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME HEAVY RAINFALL OUT OF THESE ONES AS WELL. SO EVERYTHING IS QUIET RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A CHANCE TO SEE A STRAY SHOWER LATER TODAY, BUT MOST TOWNS ARE GOING TO BE DRY, SO LET’S FOCUS IN ON THAT SATURDAY WEATHER IMPACT DAY TIMING. THAT FIRST BATCH WILL COME IN PRE-DAWN, SO I WOULD SAY BETWEEN ABOUT 3 A.M. AND 5 A.M. WHATEVER’S LEFT OVER OF THE STORMS THAT WILL BE IN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA WILL MAKE THEIR WAY INTO OUR REGION WEAKENING. BUT AGAIN, THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS FIRST THING SATURDAY MORNING. THOSE MOVE OUT. WE’LL GET A LITTLE DRIER PERIOD, BUT IT WILL BE WINDY AND THEN WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS PICK BACK UP AGAIN BY MID AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY, AND THEY DON’T MOVE OUT UNTIL EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A SOAKER FOR US. ON AVERAGE. MOST OF US ARE GOING TO PICK UP 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN. SOME SPOTS COULD PICK UP 2.5IN OF RAINFALL, AND WINDS ARE GOING TO BE STEADY IN THE 15 TO 20 MILE AN HOUR RANGE, GUSTING TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR ON SATURDAY. SO EVEN IF WE’RE GETTING A BREAK FOR THE RAIN FROM THE RAIN FOR THE SAINT PATRICK’S DAY PARADE, KNOW THAT IT’S REALLY GOING TO BE WINDY. IMPACTS. OF COURSE, RAIN OUTS ARE LIGHTNING DELAYS FOR SPRING SPORTS. AREAS OF HIGH WATER AND STRONG WINDS. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OF THIS. THIS IS THIS MORNING. WE ARE LOOKING AT QUIET CONDITIONS INTO THE EVENING. YOU’LL NOTICE FUTURECAST JUST KIND OF BRINGING SOME CLOUDS INTO THE AREA. MUCH OF OUR REGION SHOULD STAY DRY. THERE’S A CHANCE FOR MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER. AREAS TO THE SOUTH INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OVERNIGHT, THERE IS A LUNAR ECLIPSE. WE SHOULD HAVE SOME MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TO GO OUT AND SEE THAT. IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, GETTING INTO TOMORROW, A DRY DAY, ANOTHER WARM DAY AS THOSE STORMS FIRE UP TO OUR WEST. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS 11:00 FRIDAY NIGHT STORMS RACING THROUGH SAINT LOUIS. WORST OF THE WEATHER KIND OF KICKS NORTH OF US, AND BY SATURDAY MORNING WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER WILL BE HERE IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. WE’LL GET A LITTLE BREAK TOWARD LATE MORNING, AND THEN THE HEAVIER RAIN KICKS IN BY THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. AND THIS IS WHEN WE GET OUR SOAKER POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDER AND LIGHTNING POTENTIAL FOR MAYBE SOME GUSTY WINDS, BUT DEFINITELY SOME HEAVY RAIN THAT WILL LAST OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. SO JUST TAKING A PEEK AT THE FORECAST AND RAINFALL. AGAIN, DON’T LOOK SPECIFICALLY YOUR TOWN, BUT JUST THE TREND HERE. MOST OF US END UP SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN AND THEY’LL BE, YOU KNOW, A BULLSEYE SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU END UP WITH MORE THAN THAT. SO HERE’S THE 12 HOUR FORECAST. MOST PLACES THIS MORNING. STARTING OUT IN THE UPPER 40S. BY THE TIME WE GET TO LUNCHTIME, WE’RE ALREADY MID 60S AND WE SHOULD HIT THE MID 70S ONE MORE TIME TODAY. HOW ABOUT 7475? A SPOTTY RAIN CHANCE THIS EVENING. BEST SHOT AT IT WOULD BE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, BUT THERE’S A GOOD SHOT. MOST OF OUR AREA STAYS TOTALLY DRY. SO FOR TODAY 74 PARTLY CLOUDY, SPOTTY EVENING RAIN. A POSSIBILITY. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW, WE SHOULD BE UP TO 75 AGAIN. SATURDAY BRINGS OUR RAIN CHANCES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THE SAINT PATRICK’S DAY PARADE LINES UP AT 10 A.M. WE SHOULD BE GETTING SOME BREAKS IN THE RAIN, BUT KNOW THAT IT WILL BE WINDY AND RAIN IS ON THE WAY. ONCE YOU GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. A LOT OF PEOPLE SPENDING THEIR AFTERNOON DOWNTOWN ON SATURDAY, SO KNOW THAT WIND, RAIN, THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALL PART OF THAT FORECAST. OKAY RANDI THANK YOU. A GOOD HEADS UP FOR US A
