Issued at 320 AM CST Tue Jan 14 2025

Today and Tonight: Dry weather and below normal temperatures will 
continue through tonight. Early morning surface analysis had a 
1030mb high centered over southern Arkansas. Our winds aloft will 
remain nearly zonal through tonight and help the surface high shift 
east across the region through tonight as well. This will result in 
a light return flow by Wednesday morning. This combined with some 
mid and high level clouds thanks to the upper level jet, low 
temperatures will remain above freezing across the southern third of 
our CWA. /22/

Wednesday through next Monday...Zonal flow aloft will be interrupted 
by a shortwave traversing the region overnight Wednesday into 
Thursday.  While this shortwave will be responsible for a surface 
low developing over the central Gulf of Mexico, quiet conditions 
will exist across the CWA through at least the first half of Friday 
as high pressure at the surface steadily builds into and through the 
region from the west. With these quiet conditions, temperatures will 
steadily warming a bit each day through at least Saturday.

Late Friday into Saturday, a stronger trough will push into and 
through the Lower Mississippi River Valley.  This will result in a 
surface low developing over the southern plains states, that'll drag 
a cold front east into and through the CWA on Saturday.  This will 
result in good rain chances returning to the forecast late Friday 
and through the day Saturday.  Rain chances will gradually come to 
an end across the area in the wake of the front's passage.

In addition to rain coming to an end in the wake of the front 
Saturday afternoon/evening, strong cold advection will setup across 
the forecast area.  This will usher very cold dry air and frigid 
temperatures into the CWA for Sunday and Monday.  On Sunday, under 
gusty north northwest winds & partly to mostly cloudy skies, highs 
will range from the upper 30s north to lower 50s south.  Winds will 
remain breezy Sunday night as lows fall into the 20s under partly 
cloudy skies.

Then on Monday, north winds will persist under mostly sunny skies, 
with highs only ranging from the lower 30s north to lower 40s south. 
Lows Monday night currently look to be some of the coldest of the 
season thus far, as they look to range from the upper teens to lower 
20s.  It'll be during this time, primarily Sunday night through 
Monday night, that a threat for dangerous cold weather looks to 
exist across portions, or all, of the forecast area. This cold 
weather potential is still several days out, and will continue to be 
monitored in future forecasts. /19/

Historical Weather And Climate Facts For Today

JANUARY 14TH
HISTORICAL WEATHER FACTS

...1863...
The greatest snowstorm of record for Cincinnati OH commenced, and a day
later twenty inches of snow covered the ground. That total has remained far
above the modern day record for Cincinnati of eleven inches of snow in one
storm. (David Ludlum)

...1882...
Southern California's greatest snow occurred on this date. Fifteen inches
blanketed San Bernardino, and even San Diego reported a trace of snow.
(David Ludlum)

..1969...
This is a very difficult day. On this date in 1969, I and 5,000 other sailors 
were stationed aboard the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 when fire broke out on the 
flight deck. 27 sailors were killed and over 400 shipmates were injured. As 
always on this day, we pray for the souls of our departed shipmates and for 
solace and comfort for their families.  Lt Cmdr K T Priddy USNR Retired
and Director of the UK Ag. Weather Center


...1979...
Chicago IL was in the midst of their second heaviest snow of record as, in
thirty hours, the city was buried under 20.7 inches of snow. The
twenty-nine inch snow cover following the storm was an all-time record for
Chicago. (David Ludlum)

...1987...
Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S. By evening blustery northwest
winds and temperatures near zero at Grand Forks ND were producing wind
chill readings of 50 degrees below zero. (National Weather Summary)

...1988...
A powerful Pacific storm produced rain and high winds in the western U.S.
In Nevada, a wind gust to 90 mph at Reno was an all-time record for that
location, and wind gusts reached 106 mph southwest of Reno. A wind gust to
94 mph was recorded at nearby Windy Hill. Rainfall totals in Oregon ranged
up to six inches at Wilson River. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

...1989...
A winter storm spread snow and sleet and freezing rain from the Middle
Mississippi Valley to the northeastern U.S. Freezing rain in West Virginia
caused fifteen traffic accidents in just a few minutes west of Charleston.
Tennessee was deluged with up to 7.5 inches of rain. Two inches of rain
near Clarksville TN left water in the streets as high as car doors.

...1990...
A winter storm in the southwestern U.S. blanketed the mountains of
southwest Utah with 18 to 24 inches of snow, while sunshine and strong
southerly winds helped temperatures warm into the 60s in the Central Plains
Region. Five cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
including North Platte NE with a reading of 63 degrees. (National Weather
Summary) (Storm Data)
