Monday Evening Weather Talk

Good evening. Thanks for looking at Nate's weather blog. It has been a crazy end to February with snow a few days ago to severe weather last night. Today was a lot quiter, but much colder! Tonight will be cold with lows in the low 20s with clear skies. March will start awesome with sunshine and slightly above average temps for the first few days of March. Sunny and mid-upper 40s tomorrow, 50 Wednesday with sunshine, and low 50s with partly cloudy skies on Thursday. Flooding rains are possible on Thursday night through Saturday. Highs Friday will approach the upper 50s with rain likely and temps fall on Saturday with rain possibly changing to flurries late. Sunday will be cold with some sun and highs around 40. The monthly outlooks say a wet spring this year. Thanks for reading, have a good night ya'll!

Weather Finally Calming Down

Good Morning! The weather was crazy last night, but it is a sign of spring. I am more tired than usual thanks to the loud thunder! The heavy rain is finally moving out but some areas saw as much as 3-4" or so of rain while other areas saw near 2" of rain. It will be a dry, but chilly day with some late day sunshine possible and temps remaining steady. Tomorrow thru Thursday will be great with sunny skies and nice temps for early March with highs in the upper 40s, and on Thursday near 50. Heavy rain could return Thursday night thru Saturday. By next Sunday, dry weather will return but it will be chilly again. Thanks for looking at Nate's weather blog!. d

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings

Hey everyone! The NWS has issued SEVERE T'STORM WARNINGS FOR: Boone, Clinton, Hamilton, Howard, and Tipton counties for the next half hour or so. More stronger storms in eastern Illinois are heading this way. In Quincy, IL, damaging winds over 80 MPH were reported. Hail and damaging winds are the main threats, but there could be a few isolated tornados! If you ever hear the sirens go off, take shelter! Not saying they will, but just saying.
