Prelude to an ice storm?

Springfield MO on January 14, 2007

I wanted to chronicle some mid January weather. A point of time during the winter of 2015-16 that the weather service was hinting at a change in the weather status quo by even mentioning the word ICE! I hope to append notes to this post as we move towards the 23rd of the month!

 

January 14, 2016 – Breezy and windy. Winds 20-25 from the south. High ~60F. A cold front then moves through overnight.

Friday - Much cooler temperatures will move into the area late Friday into Friday night when lows will return to the low to mid 20's.

Saturday - A reinforcing shot of colder air will arrive with a clipper type system Saturday night and may bring some light snow to the area.

Sunday - A cold winter day with lows dropping down to the teens overnight.

Monday - Same old thang..

Tuesday- Same old thang..

Wednesday - Weak fronts move through our area, but don't cause any winter related problems.

Thursday - The weather may get a bit dicey as a closed low pressure area moves into the Southern Plains. Conditions may set up for a possible rain/snow mix or may even produce an icing event towards the weekend on or around January the 23^rd. [www.taneyservices.com]
