April 3, 2025: More rain and storms. Flooding is likely in some counties. Severe threats continue, as well.

If you have not signed up for this, then consider doing so.

Weather Call will call you when a warning is issued. This is useful when we have tornadoes at night!

🌪️ NEW SERVICE 🌪️

We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription. This does NOT replace www.weathertalk.com. It is simply another tool that allows you to receive severe weather information.

I use it myself. I encourage everyone to have 3 to 5 ways of receiving their severe weather information. All sources can fail, and the more sources you have, the better prepared you will be in the event of severe weather warnings.

WeatherCall will call your cell phone or home number if your home is under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning. It only calls you if your home is inside the warning box/polygon. It will not disturb you if you are outside the warning box/polygon.

Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.

🌪️ Seven-Day Tornado Outlook ⛈️

April 3rd through April 9th

Current risk: YES. There is a risk of tornadoes today into Saturday. Perhaps peak chances will be Friday and Saturday. Monitor updates.

Current confidence level: MEDIUM.

Comment:

Let’s look at today’s graphics. The risk will be higher tomorrow and perhaps Saturday.

Southern counties for today and tonight.

Damaging wind concerns today and tonight

Tornado risk today and tonight

Hail risk today and tonight.

Let’s monitor Friday’s severe risk.

The level three may need to be extended a bit farther northeast. Monitor updates.

We are monitoring Saturday’s severe weather risk, as well.

Seven-Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Lightning is likely into Saturday night.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? YES. There is a risk of severe weather on Saturday.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? YES. Significant flash flooding is expected. Significant river flooding is likely. Flash flooding is likely Wednesday into Saturday. Locally, very heavy rain is anticipated. Some counties could exceed eight inches of rain. Monitor updates.

I am expecting a widespread 5 to 10 inches of rain. Then, pockets of higher than ten inches will be possible.

This graphic is from the NWS.

Totals will vary, of course. These are extreme numbers.

We will have to see if the 10 to 15-inch band develops. I expect a widespread 5 to 10 inches and then pockets higher than 1o inches.

Remember, with each passing wave of rain, these numbers will decrease. You then add in what has already fallen to the future-cast projections.

4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? NO.

5. Will temperatures rise above 90 degrees? NO.

6. Will the heat index rise above 100 degrees? NO.

A quick forecast glance. Your 48-hour forecast Graphics

Thursday Update

Forecast discussion.

An active week of weather ahead. Monitor updates.
A severe weather threat today into Saturday. Monitor warnings, as always.
A significant flood and flash flood risk will develop into the weekend.
Locally, very heavy rain is anticipated into Saturday. Pockets of five to eight+ inches appear likely.
Monitor watches and warnings. A watch means to pay attention. A WARNING means to seek shelter or take action.

Good morning,

It was a long 24 hours.

Numerous tornadoes struck the area. There was a lot of damage in some counties. Some fatalities, as well.

Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted.

We have more active weather into Saturday night.

The video covers most of it. Then the info-graphics above.

We are expecting rounds of showers and thunderstorms into Saturday night.

Some very heavy rain totals. Avoid flooded roadways.

Be careful at night in flood-prone areas. Don’t accidentally drive into flood waters.

We also have severe concerns, as mentioned above. Monitor watches and warnings.

Seek shelter if a tornado warning is issued.

I am watching Friday’s threat. The threat may be higher than the Storm Prediction Center shows. They may need to pull the level three risk farther northeast.

I am monitoring that.

Avoid flooded roadways.

Don’t do this. You put yourself and others at risk.

Thursday outlook. Another moderate risk.

Friday flood outlook. Another moderate risk.

Saturday flood outlook. This may be upgraded to a high risk of flooding.
