Today through May 3rd:  Confidence in the threat of severe weather is low.  There will be chances of showers and thunderstorms from Thursday into next week.  It is possible that one of those systems does produce severe weather.  Confidence, however, is not great enough to include it in the forecast.  Monitor updates over the coming days in case a threat is introduced.

.

.

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.   A nice day on tap for the region.
    2.   Frost is possible tonight.
    3.   Shower and thunderstorm chances Thursday into 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

No weather concerns today.  It will be mostly sunny.

Frost is possible tonight.  Temperatures will likely dip into the 35 to 40 degree range across much of the region.  Light wind conditions will be conducive for the development of patchy frost.

You may want to protect sensitive plants.

Wednesday will be slightly warmer with some morning sunshine.  Clouds will increase during the afternoon hours.  No precipitation.

A series of weather systems will push across the region Thursday into next week.

It is not going to rain all the time.  There will, however, be several systems to monitor.  Each one will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

The primary concern Thursday will be across southeast Missouri and perhaps southwest Illinois.  A couple of showers and thunderstorms will be possible.  Mainly late in the day.

Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Thursday night into Friday night area-wide.

A stronger system will push into the region Saturday into Saturday night.  Showers and thunderstorm chances will likely peak during this time-frame.

A few storms could be intense, as well.  Locally heavy downpours will be a possibility.

Precipitation will become scattered Sunday into Tuesday.  Expect daily chances of showers and thunderstorms.  Again, it is not going to rain all of the time.

There will be several systems to monitor.  It is likely that there will need to be adjustments in the % chances of precipitation during each 12-hour period.

The issue right now is timing each system and its strength.  For the time being, I have broad-brushed precipitation chances.

If you have outdoor plans, during this time period, then monitor updates and check back for fresh information.

The risk of locally heavy rain and severe weather could be a concern, but confidence in the daily details remains low.  Again, monitor updates.  As we draw closer to each time period, there will be adjustments in the forecast.

It is possible that some locations, over the next 10 to 15 days, receive several inches of rain.

I monitor CAPE values when thinking about severe weather.

We have not experienced a lot of CAPE this spring, thus far.

I did notice the GFS model (and others) are starting to show higher CAPE numbers in the medium and long range.  This is something we will monitor.  CAPE is one in the development of severe weather.

Now, CAPE does not always equal severe thunderstorms.  It is just one ingredient of several.

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.
