Forecast discussion.

Chilly today.
Patchy frost is possible tonight.
Increasing clouds on Wednesday. A chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday evening. A couple of strong storms are possible.
Dry Friday into Sunday.

Avoid flooded roadways. Water continues to recede in many areas. Larger rivers, however, continue to rise.

We are waking up to chilly temperatures. Our northern counties are colder than southern counties.

Widespread 20s and 30s north. Widespread mid-30s to upper 30s far south. Either way, it’s chilly.

It will be cool today, as well. Below average temperatures.

I can’t rule out patchy frost tonight, mainly over southern Illinois and western Kentucky.

Clouds will increase on Wednesday afternoon and night. There will be a cold front pushing back into the region.

There might be a stray shower over our northern counties on Wednesday afternoon. Most areas will remain dry.

We have a chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday night.

Let’s look at the probabilities.

Wednesday afternoon

Wednesday night

Thursday

Thursday night

At this time, severe weather appears unlikely on Wednesday night and Thursday. There could be a few reports of hail with the most intense storms.

Currently, the Storm Prediction Center has not outlined our region for a low-level risk of severe weather.

I will monitor it.

Either way, we are not expecting widespread severe weather. Perhaps just a few reports of small hail.

Rainfall totals will be on the light side. This should not impact the ongoing flood situation.

Dry conditions return Friday through Sunday. Cool to warm temperatures.

I am watching next Monday and Tuesday for a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

I am watching a few systems between April 15th and 25th.

** NEW SERVICE ** I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.

.
We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription. This does NOT replace www.weathertalk.com It is simply another tool for 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. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.

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