Today through April 25th: I am watching Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. A cold front will push across the region. I can’t rule out some strong thunderstorms, but the overall confidence in severe weather remains low. Monitor 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.

Forecast Discussion
Widespread rain impacted the region over the past 24 hours. Most of that has pushed off to the east (as of 7 AM).
There was some hail this morning in Calloway County (around 3:30 AM). A small area around Murray. Other than that, just a lot of showers and thunderstorms over the past 24 hours.
Some locally heavy downpours. Thankfully, we avoided severe weather. Each passing week without severe weather, during the spring months, is a blessing.
Today is going to deliver quite a few clouds. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some areas will simply miss out on today’s scattered activity.
It will be mild today.
We will have a few lingering showers and thunderstorms this evening.
Dry conditions both Friday and Saturday. Thankfully!
It will be much warmer Friday and Saturday. I know everyone has been waiting on this. Both days are the pick days of the weekend.
It will be windy, from time to time. Wind gusts may top 25 mph both days. If you are boating then you will want to use a little extra caution.
Temperatures will rise into the upper 70s to lower 80s area-wide! It will feel like spring outside. This should be our warmest two-day period of the spring, thus far. How about that! No complains.
Our next cold front will already be on the way by Sunday.
Expect morning sunshine with increasing afternoon clouds. Warm temperatures.
Some of the guidance has sped the front up by six to twelve hours. I have increased rain probabilities Sunday during the day. This is especially true for Missouri and Illinois.
Showers and thunderstorm chances will be with us Sunday evening and night. A period of widespread precipitation is likely. Locally heavy downpours are possible. Lightning, of course.
For now, the severe weather risk appears minimal. I continue to monitor trends on that topic. Monitor updates.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue into Monday.
Precipitation chances will taper west to east Monday night and Tuesday. Perhaps a few remaining showers.
Rain totals today through next Tuesday. Broad-brushed.
.
Next week is shaping up to be cooler in the temperature department. Sorry! I know some of you would like the warm temperatures to remain.
Seems we can’t shake the cooler days and nights.

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.
You can see my final forecast at the top of the page.
