Hi everyone, as you know, TSwails.com is a no-pay site; we exist on voluntary subscriptions or personal donations. Every year I ask those of you who find value in the site to make the financial donation you feel is worthy. I'm suggesting $20.00, which is roughly a nickel a day. Less than 5% of my readers donate, so your gift is not only appreciated, it helps immensely. Your contribution, whatever you can swing, supports the content, infrastructure, and operational costs of TSwails.com. 

​It is important to note that your donation, whatever you can swing, supports the content, infrastructure, and operational costs of TSwails.com for the next year. Approaching our 13th year of operation, we've become one of the most in-depth, trusted, and informative weather sites in the Midwest. Without your loyalty and financial help, my dream would never have become a reality. As weather friends, you are considered a part of my family, and we can't thank you enough for putting your trust in us.

SHOW ME THE PRECIPITATION...

It's a bright and shiny day around the Midwest, but unfortunately it's another dry one. Here in Dubuque through the 26th, precipitation has amounted to .08 inches. If we can make it through the remainder of January with no more than .02 inches, this will become the driest January ever, eclipsing the existing record of .11 inches set in 1925.

The next few days will be blustery, warm and dry. Highs will climb into the 40s and with little if any snow cover after Tuesday, will likely hit 50 in many spots late week. As it stands now, Thursday should be the warmest day of the week with the EURO blow torching the region showing highs of 20-25 degrees above normal.

Here are the actual highs shown for Thursday. Not too shabby for late January.

Friday night, the pattern becomes more active and conducive to precipitation into next week. One system goes by to start the weekend and another stronger storm is possible around the 7th of next week. Between what occurs Friday night and again with the second system next Wednesday, here's what model ensembles are suggesting for precipitation totals. These amounts would be will be received with the overall dryness in the pattern since mid-November.

The GFS

The Canadian GEM

Some snow is possible too, especially with the second system, but until mesocale details such as track, intensity, and available cold air are determined, how much falls (if any) and where, remains uncertain. At least there's a chance. Thanks and if you can assist with my annual fund-raiser it would be greatly appreciated on my end! Roll weather...TS
