Today’s Storm Prediction Center’s Severe Weather Outlook
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.

Weather Discussion
-
- Mild weather.
- Unsettled weather into next week. Frequent rain chances.
- Monitoring thunderstorm chances and locally heavy rain.
Weather advice:
Monitor updates concerning several rain events. Perhaps thunderstorms, as well.
.
Forecast Discussion
A fairly active weather pattern is going to continue for our local area. Seems the story of the last few months. Ever since the middle of December!
We do have a weak disturbance moving through the region this morning. This has delivered some clouds to the area. Some patchy light rain were showing up on radar, as well.
Not much and many areas will simply remain dry.
Much of what was showing up on radar was not reaching the ground. A few reporting stations did show light rain in their observations.
The rain will move off to the east southeast over the coming hours.
Clouds will give way to some sunshine today, as well.
It is going to be mild today with highs in the sixties. Well above seasonal averages.
This is the second warmest start to the year for Paducah, Kentucky. It would have been the warmest had we not recorded a couple of cold days at the end of January.
January was the fourth warmest January on record. Again, it would have been number one had we not turned cold the last couple of days.
Here is the latest outlooks for temperature and precipitation. See the BAMwx ones farther down in the blog.
Six to ten day outlooks
Day eight through fourteen outlooks
.
Dry conditions are likely tonight into Tuesday afternoon. Mild.
Winds will pick up Tuesday and remain gusty through most of the work week.
Our next chance of showers will arrive Tuesday night.
A frontal boundary will drape itself across our region. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected.
The first chance will be Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, Then, a brief lull. Additional showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening.
Rain totals of 0.40″ to 0.80″ are anticipated, with locally higher amounts possible.
PWAT values will be high with this system, but thankfully the system is not expected to stall.
PWAT is a measure of moisture. that showers tap into.
We dry out late Wednesday night and Thursday.
Gusty winds are likely this week, especially Wednesday into Thursday. Gusts above 30 mph are possible.
Another system pulls into the region by Friday evening and night. Most of Friday will likely be dry during the day. Then, increasing rain chances Friday night into Saturday.
Some of the data continues rain chances into Sunday. For now, I have lower end rain chances Sunday vs Friday night and Saturday.
A larger system arrives by late Sunday night and Monday/Monday night. That will bring more rain to the region. Perhaps locally heavy rain.
Here is that system on the GFS model.
The good news is that severe thunderstorms are unlikely across most of the region this week.
I will keep an eye on the Missouri Bootheel. The SPC has outlined a risk of a few severe thunderstorms there.
Day two. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. General non-severe thunderstorms.
Day 3. Wednesday. The yellow zone is a low-end level one marginal risk. It clips the Missouri Bootheel.
I will monitor the SPC trends on these graphics. For now, however, I believe our severe threat is low.

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.

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.
