Today through March 23rd: Severe thunderstorms are possible today. The primary concern will be large hail. The next concern will be damaging wind gusts. The tornado risk is low, but perhaps not zero. It does not appear that we will have widespread severe weather. Rather, we will have a few storms that could become severe. Monitor updates.
I am keeping an eye on next Tuesday. For now, next Tuesday looks to mainly be a heavy rain threat. Monitor updates in the event the system evolves towards a severe weather event.
.
.
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
-
- Showers and thunderstorms today.
- A few storms could become severe this afternoon. Large hail and high winds are the primary concern.
- Cooler tonight into Sunday. A few light showers tonight into Saturday.
- Locally heavy rain next week.
Weather advice:
Make sure you are using the Beau Dodson Weather Talk app and not text messages. We can’t rely on Verizon and ATT to send out the text messages in a timely manner. Thus, we made the app. See links at the bottom of the page.

Forecast Discussion
We have some showers in the area this morning. Most of the rain was light. Rain totals with this system will likely range from 0.10″ to 0.30″. A thunderstorm can always produce locally higher totals.
At 6 AM, radar looked like this. Note the severe storms in southwest Missouri closer to the area of low pressure.
.
This rain will push off to the east over the coming hours.
The atmosphere will likely become a bit more unstable this afternoon. That will set the stage for a few thunderstorms to develop.
An area of low pressure will push into our region from the southwest. You can see that low on the morning weather map.
The low pressure center is the red L. That is moving northeast. Remember, when a low passes to our south we rarely have severe weather. That means we are in the cool sector.
When a low passes to our north, then we are in the warm sector. The warm sector is where severe weather is most likely to occur.
This low is moving northeast into the St Louis area. That places us in the warm sector.
.
There is a risk of severe thunderstorms. This does not appear to be a big severe weather outbreak. Rather, it appears that a few thunderstorms will form. Perhaps some low-topped supercells.
There remain some questions about how high dew points will be this afternoon. Remember, I typically look for dew points in the upper 50s and 60s. That is a signal for severe weather.
It is possible that the higher dew points remain to our south. It is a “monitor updates” type of day.
The risk is highest from around 12 PM through 6 PM.
These thunderstorms could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts. The tornado risk is low, but not zero. We are not expecting long-tracked tornadoes. Of course, any tornado can produce damage.
Thunderstorms will be moving from the southwest towards the northeast at 50 mph.
The atmospheric freezing level will be fairly low today. That means hail is a threat. The Storm Prediction Center has even mentioned the potential of golf ball size hail. This will need to be monitored.
You can see on this chart. The freezing level is below 10,000 feet. That is quite low. That increases the threat of hail.
Lapse rates will be high today. Lapse rates show you how fast temperatures fall as a parcel of air rising into the atmosphere.
The lapse rate is the change in temperature divided by the change in height. Lapse rates are important to weather forecasting since they help assess the (in)stability of layers in the troposphere. A higher number of lapse rate indicates a greater cooling with height.
This chart shows today’s lapse rates. Those are some decent numbers for large hail. Don’t be surprised if storms produce quite a bit of hail (if storms can get going).
Here are the comments from the Storm Prediction Center
.
Make sure you have several ways of receiving severe weather information. Do not rely on just one source. Make sure you have your Beau Dodson Weather app available. Don’t forget it has a see all button on it. That shows you every message that I send out (to every county).
Thunderstorms will push off to the east this evening.
Light showers will be possible tonight and Saturday. I have struggled with Saturday’s temperatures. Thicker clouds could mean some locations remain in the upper 40s vs 50s. Either way, it will be cooler. Gusty winds will make it feel colder.
Dry conditions Saturday night into Monday afternoon.
Our next system will bring widespread rain to the region Monday night into at least Tuesday night and perhaps Wednesday.
There are signals for locally heavy rain next week. I am not confident on the placement of the heaviest totals. Most of the data shows a widespread one to two inch rain event with pockets exceeding three inches.
Let’s look at some maps.
This is the EC and GFS models. What is the chance of two inches of rain with next weeks event.
EC model.
GFS model
What is the chance of four inches of rain?
EC model.
GFS model
.
The WPC 7-day precipitation outlook shows a widespread one to two inch rain event. Pockets of higher totals.
It is possible, as we draw closer to the event, that we can better define an area where the heaviest rain totals will occur.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.
What should I take from these?
- The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
- The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
.
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.
