4-22-19 Missouri: Recapping April rainfall trends + favored moisture pattern south over the next week. K.

Today’s video:

Month-to-date percent of normal precipitation is below…really showing the dryness building across the northern half of the state and continuing above normal moisture further south and east:

Here’s our favored rainfall guidance over the next 60 hours below…favoring along and south of I-44 for scattered pockets of 0.25-0.75″, however many of us we think stay on the drier side into mid-week:

Total precipitation guidance through the weekend is below, favoring the American GFS model the way it handles Thursday and Sunday’s waves ahead…this will need fine-tuned as confidence is lower (data is a bit more split on Thursday and Sunday precip evolution), but again favoring the southern half of the state for a better risk of ~0.5-1.5″ of moisture:
