We haven't even started March in Missouri, but Farmer's Almanac is peering even further into the future with a prediction of big snow possible for the Show Me State in April...sort of.
Missouri has had it good so far this winter. Other than a couple of severe cold snaps and a couple of storms, we really haven't had a ton of snow. Here's a history lesson to prove we're not out of the woods just yet. There are 7 times when Missouri has been slammed by a surprise snowstorm in March.
Well, you can likely say goodbye to really cold weather in Illinois. No, this is not an official forecast from the National Weather Service, but it's an indication from nature as the first bee of 2024 has already been spotted in the central part of the Land of Lincoln.
It will forever be remembered as the day when the sky tried to pound Missouri into the ground. The worst hailstorm in history that began in the Kansas City area continued across Missouri until it relented just past St. Louis nearly 23 years ago.
A famous storm chaser has noticed something that's developing in the atmosphere that could lead to a very stormy (and windy) end to February in Missouri if the models he's shared come true.
If weather patterns continue to change the way many meteorologists are predicting, Missouri should brace itself for terrible twisters once Spring begins in 2024.
For the record, I thought Missouri tornadoes were already fierce enough. There are multiple new reports that indicate a weather change is coming to the Midwest that may very well bring 'meaner' tornadoes to Missouri.
Let me be clear that it's way too early to be issuing a weather forecast for Valentine's Day week in Missouri. But, I feel like it's worth sharing one computer model that shows the potential for the Show Me State to get a big winter smackdown - maybe.
I want to warn you ahead of time so you're not startled. There is a very good chance that you'll see something that hasn't been seen over Missouri for a long time. It's a 'mysterious ball of fire', but don't be alarmed. It's not the end of the world - yet.
Things are done differently in Missouri and I do mean that as a compliment. Exhibit A is a new Ring doorbell camera video that reveals two T-Rexes playing in the snow in Kearney. Yes, really.
