Precipitation

That is the temperature outlook for this winter, December, January, February, above average, but positioned by an El Nino pattern, right? In the northern tier of the country.

Precipitation-wise, this can be rain and snow-

Mm

... is more from California all the way across to Florida and the southeast.

This next threat for severe weather, either a level one or level two threat, will reach us by early Thursday morning, and then only high wind advisories will be left for us to, uh, deal with to finish out this rather eventful week that will have taken us from highs representing the peak of summer to high temperatures that are more typically found during early November, all of this taking place by the time we reach Saturday afternoon.

Precipitation-wise, before the next round of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday morning into the afternoon, our current batch of showers and embedded thunderstorms will have to finish working through southern Illinois today, with, uh, embedded thunderstorms primarily focusing on southwestern portions or those counties along the Mississippi River.

And then once the precipitation from round one does end after sunset tonight, it looks like a solid deck of clouds will remain in place to restrain or simply put to close the book on those excessive, uh, warm temperatures that we had early this week.

And then the main event, part two, and that, uh, is gonna be coming through, uh, on Thursday and, uh, Thursday morning, first in western parts of the state, uh, producing, putting down about, uh, three-fourths to an inch of rain as it then, uh, works across familiar locations along into the north-northwest of the Illinois River and into the western suburbs of Chicago, while a lesser variety will, uh, pass along with a, a cold front that's coming in from Canada about three to six hours later.
