What is the primary weather concern today and tonight?

No weather concerns today through Sunday.  A couple of light showers will be possible.  See the rain probability graphics below.

.

Here are the early morning current conditions.  These are the 4 AM readings.

.

Here are the latest drought monitor maps.

I posted the wrong ones yesterday.

This is a widespread and significant drought for the country.

There was some improvement in our region (mainly to our north).  Some of my local towns did have a decent rain over the past week.  Not everyone.

I don’t have any major weather concerns through Sunday.

A few light showers are possible over the coming days.  Nothing significant.  I capped chances at 10 to 20% through Sunday.

It will be cool through Sunday morning.  A slow warming trend Sunday into a portion of next week.  Then, a return to cooler late week.  A bit of an odd weather pattern for May.

A few showers and thunderstorms will return Sunday night.  That will continue into next Thursday.

At this time, peak chances appear to arrive on Tuesday night/Wednesday and Wednesday night.  See graphics below.

Let’s look at the rain probability maps.

7 PM tonight through 7 AM Saturday.

There are no strong signals for a severe weather outbreak.  Perhaps a few of the storms will be intense Tuesday into Wednedsay night.  I can’t rule out a low risk from the Storm Prediction Center.  I will know more by Sunday.

Otherwise, let’s enjoy the calm weather.

** 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 ifyour 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.
