Beautiful Sky Soon Rain Will Fly.

I just wanted to check in with you all on this wonderful weekend to give you all the latest info I have on the rain expected for tomorrow / Sunday. You can see in this picture above I just took this evening around 7:00pm. Yes, it is the beautiful cirrocummulua clouds AKA Mackerel Sky. So why am I showing you all this if I came to talk about rain?? Well, it is the age old saying! "Mackerel sky soon rain will fly" And that is what I came to talk about.

I do still see scattered rain showers in our forecast however storms will not be a threat! This is good news as always. So I currently look for the main heavy rainfall to be to our south and then to our east this time around. This is where they could pick up over three quarters of an inch with locally higher amounts. Lafayette, however is looking for rainfall between a tenth and a quarter inch possible with a few locally higher amounts possible in areas. We will see clouds slowly start to move in between now and early tomorrow. Then scattered rain showers shortly after. Winds will be calm between 10 and 15 mph. I look for highs in the middle 70s and lows in the middle 50s.

This should feel like a nice cool autumn day. I will check back again if needed. Until then have a wonderful weekend. And don't forget your umbrella! ;-)

Weekend (((RAIN))) Just What We Need!

I have some good news for all you Weather Bloggers out there! I have been through the latest weather models and Data and I myself cannot believe what I have found. Yes, that's right I have found RAIN!!!!! We are finally going to have some rain that we REALLY Need coming by as soon as tomorrow! This is looking like a great weekend forecast. Most of the time if rain is expected for the weekend we would not be to happy, however this time we can't wait! Well, at least I can't Ha Ha :-) You can see this map I put together below showing the weekend outlook...Right now I do not see anything severe with this system which is great news. We will take the rain showers without storms any day. Still I cannot rule out a few stray rumbles as you see above. (Thundershowers).

Quick Cast Blog Cast.....

Today is looking dry with some more Mostly sunny skies to Partly cloudy skies. We will slowly see some clouds start to develop in the area as we head into the evening / later tonight. Rain will hold off until Sunday. Highs today will be in the upper 70s to low 80s once again. Lows will be in the lower 50s. Winds I think we will see them calm between 1o - and 20 mph.

Sunday is when things start to cool down along with rain back in the forecast. We will see rain showers overtake the area by early afternoon. Right now I think we will keep expected totals between a quarter and a half inch possible. If this is to change I will check back an let you all know! I'M not going to rule out a few possible rumbles with this system however I'M not looking for anything severe. At this time mainly just some rain / thundershowers across the WLFI viewing area. Highs will be in the lower to middle 70s and lows in the upper 50s. Winds will be between 10 and 20 mph with a few gusts to 25 mph possible at times.

I will check back again real soon bloggers. Until then enjoy your weekend! I will be back with newer expected rainfall totals if and or as needed. ;-)

2009 - 2010 Winter Outlook Sneak Peak! "COLD" But What About Snowy?

Well, I'M back and I got some cooler weather to talk about with you all today! Yes, we are looking for some possible 60s in the forecast by later on next week along with some rain showers back in the forecast! I know you all are saying "Rain? Whats that??" LOL I agree, We have not had rain in some time now! We could really use some for a change! Just not a flooding rain as Mary Anne, would say. ;-)

Also I have a quick sneak peak at your 2009 - 2010 winter! How does that sound?? I got a chance to catch up with Mike Prangley, yesterday and we have both tweaked the Winter outlook. I was shocked to see that we both had the same things expected for this winter! Let's take a closer look below.....That's right! You can see above what we are currently looking for this winter season. It is looking like COLD COLD COLD temperatures will set up over the area with again below average snowfall. And the wooly worms have been telling us again this year what to be ready for. I have already seen many Black ones laying around the area. Now any snow lover is most likely mad at me right about now and I TOTALLY agree with them! I would love a COLD SNOWY winter. Now we usually average around Oh 26.2" inches of snow a year give or take. And at this time our problem is the storm track looks like it is setting up to our south and also to our east! Which would make areas of NY one of the snowy states! And then south of them. Still with all the cold temperatures I'M seeing, this could be a fun winter for all us weather lovers that's for sure! ;-) And we will still see snow! I'M thinking slightly below average more around 20" to 22" inches give or take. And if we remember last year we had below average snowfall around 18" inches. However what we did have was fun! So even though this is not great news for snow lovers, it's also not bad news! We will still make the most of it! But if you like the COLD weather like my Sister and I then this is the Winter for you! ;-) And I'll be back with more winter outlook updates as we continue to get closer.....

If anyone has any pictures of the wooly worms then feel free to report and send them in! We will get them posted! Send pictures and reports of wooly worms to me at storm18mini@aol.com . Thanks ahead of time!Now before winter comes we have Autumn that is less then a week away! Yes, as I have said MANY times before it is coming on the 22nd! As you can tell I can't wait! :-) I have been out driving around and there are already so many trees starting to change colors around my neighborhood. And a few people have already had to rake the leaves to the street! I know "Already?" Yes!

To make it even better! Currently it is looking like we will welcome Autumn with some cooler temperatures! Yes, we are looking for the low 70s to the upper 60s later next week. Also some fall weather as I see rain back in the forecast by next week. Thunderstorms?? We will watch! Finally the grass will be moist. The signs of Autumn are here. Are you ready? Before fall kicks it into high gear we have another day of low 80s around 80* degrees to get through! Take a look at the Quick Cast below.....
