If you'll remember when we visited with the editor of the Old Farmers' Almanac a while back, she told us the winter of 2023 would be a Season of Shivers.

For the third weekend in a row, there's nasty winter weather headed for Northeast Missouri and Western Illinois.

The weather watches issued Thursday for northeast Missouri and western Illinois have been upgraded to warnings and advisories for New Year's Day.

We didn't get a white Christmas, but would you settle for a white New Year's?

If you're dreaming of a white Christmas, you're going to have to travel some miles to find it.

After the catastrophic storms that moved through the Midwest Friday, a forecast that calls for high winds and possibly strong storms for Wednesday night gets our attention.

While there were storms that moved through northeast Missouri and western Illinois Friday night and early Saturday morning, our storms were nothing in comparison with the perhaps history-making swath of destruction that made its way through five states.

We've already had a relatively mild late Fall as far as temps and precipitation goes. If a new forecast is correct, Missouri and Illinois are in for a relative heat wave in the middle of December.

A little rain can be a good thing, but the type of rainfall that is possible in the tri-states this weekend may very well be record-setting based on the current forecast.

The "Dog Days of Summer" are holding true to form this week.
