What you need to know
Key Points
- Severe thunderstorms are likely Friday night.
- The bulk of this event may hold off until after dark.
- There are questions with this event. If the CAP holds then storms may not form or may not form until the cold front arrives.
If we are lucky, the CAP will hold and there will be less severe weather.
- There may be a warm air CAP that keeps storms from forming early on. We will need to monitor the timing of the event.
- Models range from Friday evening to after midnight. A wide range of timing issues with this event. Be prepared for overnight severe weather.
- Damaging wind, hail, and tornadoes will be possible.
- Have your Beau Dodson Weather app on. Check it. Make sure you have not logged out of the app.
- Remember, a watch means to monitor updates. A warning means to seek shelter. A warning is a higher threat and means to seek shelter immediately. Severe weather may occur in or near your location.

Special Weather Statement
.
4:05 PM
A deep area of low pressure was centered over Kansas this evening. This low will rapidly move northeast tonight. That will help in the development of severe thunderstorms in our local area.
You can see the low on this image. Those black lines are equal lines of pressure. Barometric pressure. Your home barometer will be falling tonight as the system develops.
CAPE values (energy) are quite high for December. Second image. CAPE values of 1000 to 2000 are indicated. That just means there is a lot of unstable air in the atmosphere.
.

Here is the latest Hrrr model update.
You can see that the CAP does break and numerous thunderstorms form this evening/tonight. If this is correct then the risk of severe weather is significant.
Don’t focus on the exact location of an individual storm. Take the general idea that storms will develop and impact our region.
Here is the WRF model (another high-resolution model)
.
7 AM Friday
Good morning, everyone.
Advice for today.
- Have multiple ways of receiving your severe weather information. Don’t rely on just one.
- Make sure your Beau Dodson WeatherTalk app is on. Open it up.
- If you think you are not receiving notifications then simply open your app and look at my messages. We added a SEE ALL tab to the app and the www.weathertalk.com website. See every message that I send out to every county.
- Storms will move fast. You don’t have to wait for a warning to seek shelter. If a neighboring county has a tornado warning then you can go ahead and go to your safe place, as well.
- This could be a high-end severe weather event if the CAP breaks. Numerous warnings may have to be issued. It may be hard to keep up with it (if this happens). Be weather aware tonight.
We added a SEE ALL tab to the app. You can now see every severe weather message for every county.
.
Severe weather parameters continue to increase. Wind fields are extreme, moisture fields are extreme, and there still is a CAP/lid to deal with.
This is a complicated forecast. The only question as to whether we experience severe thunderstorms and tornadoes will be the CAP. Scroll down for more information on the CAP.
Here was a short video, from another meteorologist, that I posted yesterday. It explains the CAP/lid.
This makes for a tricky forecast.
I have been talking to many of this regions meteorologists and we all have the same concerns. When does the CAP break and what does that look like (if and when it happens).
The bulk of this event should be after dark. It is possible a few thunderstorms form early in the evening. The bulk of the data, however, indicates that the thunderstorm activity will become more numerous by mid to late evening. If that happens, then thunderstorms should continue into early Saturday morning (midnight into 5 am).
This is a particularly dangerous weather situation. Many of our severe weather parameters are pegged out.
Be prepared to seek shelter if thunderstorms form.
Thunderstorms will likely be moving at speeds in excess of 50 mph. That will not give you much time to seek shelter.
The Hrrr model has been trending towards a bigger event. Check out this static image. This is the 9 PM future-cast radar from the Hrrr model. It does break the cap and numerous supercells form.
Here is the NAM model storm motion map. It is hard to read, but you can see 67 knots in central Illinois. Our region will likely be in the 50+ knot zone. Those are very fast storm speeds. They will be moving east/northeast.
If there is a warning to your west/southwest then be prepared to seek shelter. You don’t have to wait until a warning is issued if you feel threatened by a storm.

3 PM Thursday update
Afternoon models are showing supercell thunderstorms forming tomorrow evening/night. These area scattered severe thunderstorms.
There are two types of severe weather modes. Squall lines. Solid lines of thunderstorms. Supercell thunderstorms. They tend to be more isolated and scattered.
Higher end severe weather is often times associated with supercell thunderstorms.
We still have to monitor the CAP tomorrow night in case it does hold and storms don’t form. We can’t count on that happening, but it is something I will be monitoring closely.
Here are some of the afternoon models.
Don’t get hung up on WHERE they show storms. Just know that storms could form in this type of atmosphere and quickly become severe.
Also, the timing may vary with this event. Don’t get too caught up in the exact timing. Know that tomorrow night, at any given point, storms could form in the area.
Hrrr model at 10 PM Friday night. You can see a few supercell thunderstorms in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.
Another model, the NAM, shows scattered supercell thunderstorms, as well.

8 AM update
** SEVERE WEATHER EVENT POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT **
There will be a strong CAP Friday/Friday night. This could help keep thunderstorms from forming. There remain questions about how this event unfolds or does not unfold. It is possible we avoid a larger severe weather event if the CAP holds.

Today through Friday morning.
Dry today. Warmline trend. Windy, at times. Winds may gust above 30 mph.
Clouds increase tonight. Some patchy rain showers are possible tonight, as well. We will have a chance of dense fog. Use care if you must travel in areas of dense fog.
The dense fog may linger into Friday morning as that warm front moves northward through the region.
Most of Friday may remain dry.
Gusty winds are likely today into Friday night.
Wind forecast (gusts).
Friday afternoon and Friday night.
A severe weather event appears likely Friday afternoon and especially Friday night.
Severe weather events are fickle. All ingredients must come together in order for there to be severe thunderstorms. No forecast is a slam dunk and this one is no different.
The tornado ingredient forecast has our region in the bulls-eye for the risk. I can’t rule out tornadoes from this event.
It is rare to have tornadoes in December. It is even rarer to have two tornado events in less than a week (in December). Very unusual weather.
.
The Storm Prediction Center has our region in an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms Friday and Friday night. The bulk of this event may be after dark.
The enhanced region is the orange shaded zone. This is a level three out of five risk. Five being the highest risk.
Zooming in on that map. The black outline is the Paducah, Kentucky, NWS forecast area.
Dark green is the level one region. Yellow is the level two region. Orange is the level three region.
.
Tornado threat forecast. The hatched zone is where some tornadoes could be EF2 or greater.
Damaging wind threat zone. A 30% chance of damage wind with 25 miles of any given point.
.
We do have a CAP on the atmosphere. A CAP can keep storms from forming. A CAP is warm air aloft that helps keep air parcels from rising. They rise and hit the CAP and then sink. Thunderstorms are made up of rising thermals. If the thermal can’t rise then severe storms can’t form.
The struggle we are having is timing when the CAP breaks.
.
If the CAP breaks then severe thunderstorms will form.
All ingredients are there for damaging wind, large hail, and even tornadoes. Storms may be moving at speeds in excess of 60 mph. That means there will be a short amount of time to seek shelter. Be prepared in case severe weather develops.
There is concern the bulk of this event will occur at night.
Nighttime tornadoes account for 49 of the 57 fatalities in our region since 1996.
.
Have multiple ways of receiving severe weather information. Not just my weather app. Have other ways, as well. All technology can fail. Thus, having more than one source can help keep you safe.
.
Remember, a WATCH means to monitor updates. You don’t have to change your behavior for a watch. Be prepared.
A WARNING is more serious. A WARNING means severe weather is imminent in or near your location. A WARNING means to seek shelter.
.
Where is a safe place to hide when tornadoes threaten your location.
.
PWAT values will at the top of the chart with this event. That means plenty of moisture to work with. That equals locally heavy rain.
PWAT animation map. Watch the wave of higher PWAT values sweep through our region Friday and Friday night. Lot of moisture.
.
Dew points will be high, as well. This is a concern for severe thunderstorms.
Typically, I look for dew points of 58 degrees and above when considering severe weather. The record high dew point in Paducah is around sixty-six. We may approach that. Again, plenty of moisture for thunderstorms to tap into.
Click animations to enlarge them.
Dew points will rapidly rise Friday/Friday night. Perhaps to near record high December dew points. The record high dew point in Paducah is 66 degrees (for December).
Bottom line:
Severe weather appears likely Friday afternoon and especially Friday night into early Saturday morning. Be weather aware and prepared to seek shelter in the event thunderstorms threaten your location.

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.

Today’s severe weather outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (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.
