I have gone through more data this morning and currently everything is still looking on track. Even though we have been seeing all rain up to this point some models are still showing a mix possible at times. And believe it or not the mixed precipitation is not far away for Lafayette as I type! It is setting up just to our north in areas around Benton, White, And parts of northern Carroll, counties. Take a look at this national satellite radar image below.
This image was taken at 10:50am EST this morning and you can see the system very well moving into the area. This system is moving east north east and is doing some training. Which means it's kinda like a train on tracks, It just keeps coming over our area. Sometimes this can cause flooding but the good news is we are not expecting any flooding on the area rivers! Rainfal is just not heavy enough which is great news! But we can expect LOTS and LOTS of wet soggy grounds. Anyone who has dogs should love this lol :)Now lets get a closer look at this system with my local radar below.
This image was also taken at 10:50am EST this morning. You can see where that 540 line is currently set up. I have gone ahead and pointed to the areas that are seeing the mixed precipitation and the areas that are seeing rain. Now this may not be coming down as a heavy mix or anything just yet as this is still trying to change over from all rain. With temperature this warm it's not easy! And most areas are only seeing rain falling at a rate of a Tenth inch an hour! "Very Light" Lafayette, is not going to see a mix for a while as our temperatures are still standing at 37.8 degrees. So rain is looking good at this time! For most of us this is going to be a rain event. Only our northern counties will see the mix until later on late tonight into Monday then we have a chance at a mix to scattered snow showers. Again it will be Light! So as we head into the evening hours to tonight and start to cool to near freezing then we will watch as some of this rain on the back side will try to change over to some light scattered snow showers into Monday. Now I don't see that adding up to much if anything because the ground will be to wet and by this time most of the storms energy will be passed the area.We have not picked up over a quarter inch just yet as well. But I still look for precipitation between a quarter and a half inch possible today into tonight with another tenth inch to a quarter inch on Monday.
For now all we have to do is continue to watch the radars and keep dry! Things still look on track...
I'll check back as needed if anything is to change!
