Here is the latest drought map... a large chunk of the country right now actually is in a drought category of some kind.


Then, if we look at soil moisture maps over the last few weeks, that really gives you a better overall picture. Since 2/28:

Good Morning Les. Forecast looks good and concerning severe weather I agree late this month into April and May. My biggest concern is really dry conditions that could take over later this spring and summer. Seeing a lot of areas to the south not getting their normal rains in March and if this conti...

Oh... and don't forget to spring forward before you go to bed tonight! :grin:

Good Saturday morning to you all! Not a bad Saturday and Sunday if you have outdoor plans. The 50s today, with the rain chances backing off for tomorrow. Just a small chance in the afternoon with temps a bit cooler in the U40s to around 50 degrees. We are still looking at a brief period of sleet and...

Glad you are aboard, Bro! T-storm season is approaching.

Awesome!

6 tenths imby. The backyard really has greened up overnight. Same here, JP. It'll be mowing season… UGH... before you know it. :mowlawn: Yes, you before me. :) :) Need to pull those mowers out of storage and do some prep work on them. :) I need to do a little pre-season maintenance as well. Add it ...

18Z GFS continues to show that touch of sleet idea before we rain Monday morning.

62 here... 61 at CVG... a nice late afternoon day in progress with no wind. Much better weather then what's coming this weekend so I got a couple of things done outside after work.

Awesome Dave! Thurs morning for me at the St. E's Training site near Erlanger. Might be the Pfizer one too. We'll see.

12Z Euro is coming in colder. It has 2M temps even a tad below freezing at CVG when the precip begins. If we see this trend continue, sleet needs to be added to the forecast at least for the Metro / Tri-state area on north and east bound for Monday. The further NE you are, the more cold air you'll h...

Wow Dave... what a story!

12Z UKIE has 2M temps Mon morning at 34 for CVG, and 27 for Columbus.

At 78-84 hours, I know ya gotta take the NAM with a grain of salt, however it does look interesting up this way for Monday morning. 2m temps around 31 with 0.30" liquid and 850 temps of +5.5. Fortunately the ground temps should be above freezing so not expecting any major impacts. Yeah... in n...

Yes sir! That was one nasty squall line that produced 15 tornadoes in the wee hours of the morning.

Looks like the 12Z GFS is also showing the sleet to begin the Monday rain event. Interesting... Total precip at CVG is only 0.47" on this run.

March of 93... October of 93 and Jan of 94 were all good to monster snow events in the OV. Definitely a good 2 year stretch!

12Z NAM brings in a brief period of sleet on the leading edge of the precip shield Mon morning. Something to watch on the models today and this weekend for a touch of frozen precip to start. 0.87" of precip falls on Monday per this run at CVG.

Same here, JP. It'll be mowing season… UGH... before you know it.

The JKL office, RLX, PIT, etc. were the hardest hit in the OV. Some of those offices may have some write up's.

It's the 28 year Anniv of the Super Storm of 1993! Copious amounts of snow including blizzard conditions nailed the Eastern US while high waves battered FL along with numerous tornadoes. Pressure records were also set in New England and Nova Scotia, Canada. Here in Cincy, we got clipped by the heavy...

I am in a cicada free zone LOL That map looks pretty good to me. I get some but not nearly as much as other areas of the Tri-state, From my experience, Hamilton County has a large population compared to so.e nearby counties. Imby , there are plenty bit nothing compared to Hamilton I remember Downto...

A lot of the trees here have buds and they will be popping soon with all of the rain we are going to be receiving. The cool snap though coming in the long term, if correct, might slow that process down a bit.

Visible shows the sunshine will be coming out for us S of the river shortly.
