48-hour forecast
.
.
Tuesday to Tuesday
1. Is lightning in the forecast? Yes. Today into Wednesday night. Another chance Saturday night into Monday.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? Yes. Severe thunderstorms are possible today into Wednesday night. Hail, wind, and tornadoes will be possible. Monito updates. The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated. Link: Click here.
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? Yes. Locally heavy rain could cause some water issues. The primary concern would be where thunderstorms train over the same areas repeatedly. This will enhance rain totals. Some locations could exceed four inches of rain between Monday and Wednesday. Avoid flooded roadways. The bulk of the area will receive 0.8″ to 1.6″ of rain. The higher totals, of course, will be the primary concern.
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 April 15th: A low-end severe weather risk today into this evening. Severe thunderstorms are likely tonight into Wednesday night. The primary concern will be late tonight into Wednesday evening. See the LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG for more details. Link: Click here.
The highest risk of severe thunderstorms will be Wednesday.
.
.
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
-
- Stormy weather.
- Severe weather risks. Heavy rain risks.
- Have three to five ways of receiving severe weather information.
- Dry Thursday and Friday.
- Watching another system Friday night into Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Weather advice:
The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated for Monday through Wednesday’s severe weather threat. Link: Click here.
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
I have a longer discussion on the severe weather blog. Please see that.
Dry conditions are likely Thursday and Friday. Cooler.
We will have another system approach the region Friday night into Monday. A few scattered showers are possible Friday night into Saturday night.
Rain chances should ramp up Sunday into Monday. There is disagreement in the guidance as to the extent of the rain coverage during this time-period. Plan on some rain this weekend. I know it is a holiday weekend. Plan accordingly. Plan for rain and then let’s hope for the best.
Saturday has the best chance of remaining dry or mostly dry. Rain chances are higher Easter Sunday into Monday.
Thunderstorms are possible. At this time, it appears the severe weather risk will be low. Monitor updates in case the low passes further north. That would place us in the warm sector. The air would be unstable in that zone. Monitor.
Now, a substantial risk of severe weather exists later tonight into Wednesday night. Please see the discussion on the severe weather blog.
—> The LIVE SEVERE WEATHER BLOG has been activated for Monday through Wednesday’s severe weather threat. Link: Click here.
Monitor updates. Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather App. Monitor local media. Have THREE TO FIVE ways of receiving severe weather information. Do not rely on just one source. Every source can fail at one point or another. Thus, having multiple sources of severe weather information is the best advice.

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.
