Forties Possible?

The chart pictured shows the temperature output from various computer models for the weekend and early next week. The GFS model is the only one which projects beyond Saturday as of today at least. The 12Z (7 a.m.) and 18Z (1 p.m.) refer to the run times of the model. The GFS is run four times a day.

The lines for two consecutive runs drop into the forties on Monday morning. One run makes it this chilly Tuesday morning as well.

Next Cool Push

It is very possible that at least a portion of the Ozarks will experience forty-degree low temperatures on Monday morning. A strong cool front will drop in Saturday. This will produce yet another string of unseasonably cool days in the Ozarks, lasting into next week.

The most likely area for lows this cold would be northest of Springfield from around Lake of the Ozarks southeastward to Shannon County. The record low for Springfield Monday morning is 48.

Since this will occur on the last day of August, it will alter our average temperature for the month, possibly to a top ten ranking for coolest Augusts on record.

Danny Forms

Tropical storm "Danny" formed quickly today. The fourth named storm of the Atlantic season as winds to 45 mph. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Danny to become a hurricane sometime early on Saturday off the coast of North Carolina. This will be while the storm is making a turn more to the north. It looks like Danny will follow a more westerly track as compared to Bill. This means the storm will track closer to coastal areas of New England this weekend.
