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.

Temperatures and precipitation chances are going to vary greatly  from north to south through Monday.  Keep that in mind.

Areas north of the cold front will be several degrees cooler than areas to the south.  This makes for a complicated AREA-WIDE general forecast.

See the written forecast details further down in the blog for each section of the region.


48-hour forecast



.


.

Wednesday to Wednesday 

1. Is lightning in the forecast?  Yes.  Today through next Tuesday.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast?  Possible. Storms could be locally intense with high wind gusts.

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.  Summer thunderstorms can produce torrential rain, which can quickly flood roadways and ditches.

4. Will the heat index exceed 100 degrees?  Yes.   Today across the southern half of the region.  I will need to monitor next weeks temperatures.

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

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

Today through August 5th:  Thunderstorms over the next several days could produce scattered reports of wind damage.  Monitor forecasts and your Beau Dodson Weather app for updates.

.

.

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.   More rain for portions of the region.
    2.   Rain will shift southward with time.
    3.   Hot today across our southern counties.  Cooler north.
    4.   Weekend forecast numbers.

.

Weather advice:

Avoid flooded roadways.  Thunderstorms can produce one to two inches of rain in less than thirty minutes.

Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather app.   Thunderstorms are likely over the next several days.  A few could become severe with high wind gusts.

.

Weather Discussion

I know.  I know.  Many people in western Kentucky are STILL waiting on the rain.  I promise you, we have several more chances between now and Monday.  It will rain.  It is just taking its time shifting southward.

Portions of northern and northwest Kentucky have been receiving rain.  Several inches, actually.

It is far western Kentucky and along the Kentucky/Tennessee border that is suffering.  Southeast Missouri (some), as well.

Here are the 48-hour rainfall totals.  The scale pegged out near St Louis.  Just incredible rain totals (in a short amount of time).

Zoomed in on St Louis

Zoomed in on western Kentucky.  You can see where it has not rained.

The overall forecast through this morning (from last week) was that the northern half of the region would receive the most rain through Wednesday morning.  Then, we would start to see a bigger shift southward Wednesday PM into Friday/weekend.

That is still on track.

Yesterday, extremely heavy rain fell across a chunk of Missouri and Illinois.  Portions of Jefferson County, Illinois, received five inches of rain!

The overall atmosphere remains juicy.  PWAT values are high.  PWAT is a measure of moisture in the atmosphere.  Meteorologists use it to determine how much rain might fall in a short amount of time.

PWAT values over the past few days have been above two inches.  Extremely high moisture content in the atmosphere.

Here is the PWAT animation into Thursday.  Notice those purples/pinks.  Very high PWAT values.

Where it rains, it could rain quite hard.  An inch of rain in less than fifteen minutes can occur with PWAT values this high.

Flash flooding can be the end result.  We will need to monitor any storms that train over the same areas.

The cold front responsible for all of this rain will shift southward this weekend.

How far south it shifts will be key to rain probabilities.

It now appears that the northern half of southeast Missouri and much of southern Illinois may remain dry Friday night into Saturday.

Rain chances will be higher as you travel south.

Let’s hope the front doesn’t push too far south.  That would mean lower rain chances areas-wide.

For now, I have the probabilities in the written forecast at the top of the page.

Here are some computer generated numbers.  I just wanted to give you an idea of the overall probability numbers.  This does assume the cold front isn’t too far south.

Notice the lower numbers north.  Higher numbers south.

7 AM Friday to 7 PM Friday

7 PM Friday to 7 AM Saturday

It appears the front will shift back northward Saturday night into Monday.  That means the rain chances will spread back northward, as well.

Once again, locally heavy rain and storms will be possible.

As far as the severe weather risk, keep in mind that summer storms can produce pockets of wind damage.  This can occur with little or no warning.

Summer storms have a lot of energy.  Cloud tops can be 60,0000′.  What goes up must come down.  Sometimes that means downburst winds.

I am monitoring the heat for next week.  I am not confident, yet, on numbers.  I do believe the heat wave returns.  We aren’t finished.

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.
