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.

THE FORECAST IS GOING TO VARY FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION. 
SEE THE DAILY DETAILS (REGION BY REGION) FURTHER DOWN IN THIS BLOG UPDATE.

The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated for Wednesday’s severe weather potential.

A wind advisory has been issued across the entire Quad State from 7AM-7PM Wednesday. Southerly winds sustained at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 45-55 mph are expected. Isolated gusts to 55 mph will be possible, especially in the KY Pennyrile.

A high wind warning for the Missouri Bootheel and northwest Tennessee.  Winds above 55 mph are likely.

Timing of the storms.  Approximate.

You can figure out the timing for the Bootheel and northwest Tennessee on this graph, as well.  Just draw the lines further south.

Wednesday to Wednesday

1. Is lightning in the forecast?  Yes.  Today.  I am watching lightning chances next Tuesday, as well.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast?  Yes.  Severe thunderstorms will occur today.  The primary concern will be damaging wind.  There is also a risk of a few tornadoes.  Storms will be moving at speeds in excess of 60 mph.  That won’t give you much time to take action.  Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather app.  Have three to five ways of receiving severe weather information.  Be weather aware today.

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

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast?  Monitor.  Locally heavy rain is likely today.  A few locations could have water issues.  Widespread flooding is not forecast.

4. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees?  No.

5.  Is measurable snow or ice in the forecast?   No.

6. Will the heat index top 100 degrees?  No.

Today through March 31st:

The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated for Wednesday’s severe weather potential.

Here is the link to the live severe weather blogCLICK HERE.

Severe thunderstorms are likely later this morning and afternoon.  Damaging wind and tornadoes will be the concern.  Remain weather aware today.  Storms will move east/northeast at 60+ mph.  Fast movers.

A severe thunderstorm or tornado watch will be issued for the area later today.  Remember, a watch means to monitor updates.  A WARNING means to take immediate action.

.

.

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.   High winds today.  Wind gusts above 50 mph.
    2.   Thunderstorms later this morning into the afternoon hours.  Some will be severe with damaging wind and perhaps tornadoes.
    3.   A few light showers Thursday. Colder.
    4.   A few light rain showers possible this weekend.

 

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

A busy weather day ahead for the region.  Please refer to the severe weather blog for details.

The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated for Wednesday’s severe weather potential.

Here is the link to the live severe weather blogCLICK HERE.

Today and tonight:

A strong cold front will sweep across the region today and tonight.  This system will have very high wind shear.  Wind shear is the change of wind speed and direction with height.  There will be a lot of spin in the atmosphere today.  One ingredient for severe thunderstorms.

Dew points are already rising.  Dew point is a measure of moisture in the atmosphere.  For severe weather I typically look for upper 50s to 60s.  Model guidance indicates we will reach those numbers today.

You can see the surge of dew points on the Hrrr model guidance.  The blue color represents 60 or above dew points.

Some of those dew points may mix out this morning and drop.

That leaves a small tongue of higher dew points for the storms to tap into later today.  You can see that here.

The higher dew points are found right ahead of the line of storms.

CAPE is lacking today.  CAPE is fuel for storms to tap into.

This is a high shear low CAPE severe weather event.  Sometimes the shear can make up the difference for the lack of CAPE.  That may be the case today.

We will also have high gradient winds today.  Gradient winds are caused by rapidly rising and falling barometric pressure.  Gradient winds today will top 50 mph.  This could cause some tree limb and power line damage.

Those gradient winds will be non-thunderstorm winds.

A line of thunderstorms will push across the region later this morning into this evening.

A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the primary line.

A solid line of storms will push from west to east later today.  This line will be moving east/northeast at 60+ mph.  Fast moving line.  This fast movement won’t give you much time to seek shelter if damaging wind or a tornado develops.  Be weather aware today in the event severe weather develops.

Every weather model is showing this line of thunderstorms.  There is high confidence in the line of storms occurring.

The trend over the last 24 hours is to slow down the line of storms by a few hours.  Compared to what it was showing yesterday.

The line may not reach the Mississippi River until after 1 PM.

Here are a few models.

SPC WRF model.  4 PM.

NAM 3K model.  4 PM.  This seems to slow.  I think the line will be further east by 4 PM.

HRW FV3.  4 PM future-cast radar.

Hrrr model.  4 PM future-cast radar.

.

The primary concern with this line of thunderstorms will be damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.

This appears to be a QLCS tornado potential.  QLCS tornadoes are typically embedded within the line of storms.

The December 10, 2021 Quad State Tornado was a supercell long-tracked tornado.  Not the same as QLCS.

With that said, any tornado can cause damage.  So, let’s be prepared in the event tornado warnings are issued.

Again, these QLCS tornadoes tend to be short lived and difficult to issue warnings on.  They can develop within one or two radar scans and then dissipate.

Showers and thunderstorms will push off to the east tonight.

A few showers will be possible Thursday and Thursday evening.  Chilly temperatures Thursday with gusty winds, as well.

A weak system may bring a couple of light showers to the area Friday night and Saturday.

Dry Sunday and Monday.

Another system will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms to the area Monday night/Tuesday.

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.

.

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.
