Today through August 10th: Summer thunderstorms can produce isolated wind damage and hail. Widespread severe weather is unlikely.
.
.
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.

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
Another widespread shower and thunderstorm event (MCS) impacted the region overnight. Rain totals ranged from 0.00″ to over 6.00″.
Flash flooding was reported across portions of southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois.
Here are some radar estimated rain totals. Feast or famine weather. Too little. Too much.
Double click the image to enlarge it. It abruptly ends because the radar beam only goes out so far. These are radar estimated rain totals.
On the satellite loop below, you can see the MCS from overnight. An MCS is a thunderstorm complex. Common during the summer months.
St Louis was hit hard with three to six inches of rain. That is on top of their recent heavy rain events.
The white dots are lightning. Those milky white and dark red colors represent very cold clouds tops. Minus 75 degrees in some instances. Those are thunderstorm tops. Thunderstorm cloud tops are over 62,000′ high into the atmosphere. Double click the image to make it larger.
You can see, towards the end of the loop, that cloud tops are warming. The reds are becoming yellow. Warming cloud tops mean the system has peaked and is weakening.
A weak frontal boundary is draped across our region through this afternoon and tonight. The front is so weak that you almost can’t see it on the surface maps. It is more of a boundary than front.
This weak boundary will serve for the development of some additional scattered showers and thunderstorms today and tonight.
The atmosphere over southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois is fairly worked over. We will have to see if it can recover and re-energize.
If so, then those areas could also receive additional rainfall.
The atmosphere over the rest of the region should become unstable this afternoon. Thunderstorms that form could produce strong and gusty wind, heavy rain, and lightning. Perhaps some small hail.
Widespread severe weather is not anticipated. I can’t rule out a severe thunderstorm warning. Again, the concern would be gusty wind.
I have lower chances of showers and thunderstorms Friday into next week.
Highs today will vary based on cloud cover. Mostly in the 80s. It will be humid.
Highs Friday into Sunday will be a bit warmer with more sunshine. Humid, as well.
I am watching another front next week. If we do have another cold front nudge into the region, then rain chances may be a tad higher than I currently have them. I will just have to monitor trends.
The front may move south by Wednesday. If so, Wednesday would be dry.
Otherwise, fairly typical August weather.

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.
