7-day forecast for southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, western Kentucky, and western Tennessee.

This is a BLEND for the region.  See the detailed region by region forecast further down in this post.

Monday to Monday

1.  Are accumulating snow or ice in the forecast? No.

2. Is lightning in the forecast?   Possible.  Lightning is possible late Monday night into Tuesday.  Another system late Wednesday night into Thursday night.  I am watching Sunday, as well.

3.  Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? Monitor. Severe weather is unlikely with the Tuesday system.  I will need to monitor the Thursday event.  Severe thunderstorms can’t be ruled out.  This is highly dependent on the track of the low and whether we have widespread clouds and rain.

* The NWS officially defines a severe thunderstorm as a storm with 58 mph wind or greater,  1″ hail or larger,  and/or tornadoes

4.  Is flash flooding in the forecast?  Yes.  Locally heavy rain this week could cause issues.  Monitor updates.

6.  Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees above zero?  No.

Today through March 27th.  At this time, the severe weather risk appears to be low.  Perhaps not zero.  I am watching Tuesday and Thursday.  Monitor updates.

What is a severe storm?

.

Today’s outlook (below).

Light green is where thunderstorms may occur but should be below severe levels.

Dark green is a level one risk. Yellow is a level two risk. Orange is a level three (enhanced) risk. Red is a level four (moderate) risk. Pink is a level five (high) risk.

One is the lowest risk. Five is the highest risk.

A severe storm is one that produces 58 mph wind or higher, quarter size hail, and/or a tornado.

The tan states are simply a region that SPC outlined on this particular map.  Just ignore that.

The black outline is our local area.

Weather Discussion

    1.   Rain chances increasing.
    2.   Several systems to monitor.  Semi-active pattern.
    3.  Milder temperatures.

.

Not much has changed over the past 24-hours.

I am tracking three potential rain makers.

Peak rain chances will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Rain may move into southeast Missouri as early as tonight.  Then, with time, that rain will spread east/northeast across the entire region.

The first rain event won’t be heavy.  Rain totals of 0.15″ to 0.40″ will be the going forecast.  Not too bad.

There may be some gusty winds with the Tuesday system.  A few claps of thunder will be possible.

Dew points never climb above the 50s.  That means the risk of severe weather will be near zero.

There may be severe storms to our south and then north of St Louis.  Leaving us in the middle.

A few remaining showers Tuesday night.  Drying out.

Wednesday will be dry.  We will be in between systems, at that time.

A larger system takes shape Wednesday night over Texas and moves into our region Thursday into Thursday night.

This system will spread widespread moderate rain (some heavy) into our region.

Rain chances will begin to ramp up Wednesday night.  Widespread rain is likely Thursday and Thursday night.

This system is similar to last weeks system.

The track of the low is key to the risk of severe thunderstorms.  At this time, I am concerned about areas that were hit hard by last weeks tornado outbreak.  Areas to our south/southeast.

Our region will once again have a conditional risk of severe thunderstorms.  What does conditional mean?  It means that a few ingredients are certain.

Clouds and ongoing widespread rain may help keep CAPE values down.  Think of CAPE as energy for thunderstorms to tap into.

If CAPE levels are lower then the risk of severe weather is lower.

For now, clouds and rain may help keep things in check.  With that said, I am forecasting a conditional risk of severe weather.

Monitor updates moving forward.

That rain event could produce pockets of one to two inches of rain. Perhaps more.  We will need to monitor this since rivers and streams are high.

The area will dry out Friday into Saturday.

A fast moving system may bring some showers late Saturday night into Sunday.  For now, I have low-end rain chances during that time period.  Confidence in the last weekend system is still rather low.  Signals are mixed on that one.

Let’s talk weather maps.

A cyclone is an area of low pressure.  Low pressure is usually associated with clouds, rain, snow, storms, and so on.

High pressure is typically dry weather.

You have a warm front and a cold front.

The low pressure center is the center of the entire storm system.

A warm front usually extends east of the low.  That warm front is where severe storms can occur.  Along and south of the warm front.

Then, you have your cold front.  The cold front usually extends south of the low.

Ahead of the cold front is where you can have rain and storms.  Sometimes severe.

So, a weather map looks like this.

When you hear me talk about an area of low pressure and the track of that low, this is why.

It is important as to where the low tracks.  A low that tracks west/northwest of us, places us in the warm sector.

The warm sector is where severe storms are typically located.

.

Cold fronts push air upward.  That forms clouds.  That forms showers and thunderstorms.

.

As we head into spring, we will be talking about low pressure centers, warm fronts, and cold fronts.  Quite often!

To dig deeper, we use ensembles.  Ensembles help smooth out the differences in the data/different models.  In theory, at least.

Now, let me show you some ensemble data.

.

First the MEAN from the EC and GFS models.  The Mean would be from all the model runs (put together).

EC model

Then it moves innto southern Illinois and deepens.

GEFS model

It tracks the low into southern Illinois.

The EC and GEFS seem to agree on the Mean.

This is the EC model.

Over the past 24 hours, the EC and GFS models have come into better agreement as to where the low will track.

This is increasing forecast confidence in the final outcome.

This is Thursday afternoon.  Those L’s represent the area of low pressure.  Each L is one run of the model.  There are dozens of EC ensemble members.

Each L represents one member.  The more they agree (tightly clustered) the higher the confidence in the forecast.

Clustered over northern Arkansas (but some spread).

.

Thursday night.  Clustered over Illinois and Indiana.

.

Early Friday morning.  Clustered to our northeast.

.

Euro track of the low pressure center.

For the entire week.  WPC/NOAA rainfall forecast.

A blend of models through Saturday

 

The NAM model through Thursday

.

The GFS (new version) model through Friday night.

The GFS (old version) through Friday.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.

What should I take from these?

  1.  The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
  2.  The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
  3.  The EC European weather model is in Zulu time.

.

What am I looking at? 
You are looking at different models.  Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather.  All models are wrong.  Some are more wrong than others.  Meteorologists have to make a forecast based on the guidance/models.

I show you these so you can see what the different models are showing as far as precipitation.  If most of the models agree, then the confidence in the final weather forecast increases.

You can see my final forecast at the top of the page.
