Heavy Precipitation in the West; Wintry Mix in the North; Fire Weather in the High Plains

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest into early Monday. Dry, gusty winds are resulting in elevated to critical fire weather in the south/central High Plains. Read More >

Valparaiso meteorology student Madison Wallner came down several times during her fall semester work to volunteer at the NWS Louisville office.  She worked on a project to collect radar imagery and data for tornadoes that have touched down in the area.  The goal is to be able to filter the data by strength of radar signature and to look at how imagery changes by distance from the radar.  In addition the project will help with some further projects soon to be done on squall line tornadoes in our region.  Thanks Madison for the hard work you've put into this project!
