Seven Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast?  YES.    Lightning is possible today and tonight (esp over southeast MO).  Lightning is likely Friday into Monday.  I am monitoring Tuesday/Tuesday night and Wednesday for the risk of a few more thunderstorms..

2.  Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast?  POSSIBLE (low end risk).  A few thunderstorms could become severe into early next week.

There is a low-end risk Friday and Friday night.  Mainly over southeast Missouri and perhaps southwest Illinois.

I am watching Sunday into Monday night.

All in all, the bulk of the severe weather is forecast to remain just to the west of our region.  We will be in the low level risk zone.  Higher probabilities farther west.

Monitor updates.  See the severe weather outlooks farther down in the blog.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? NOT AT THIS TIME.

4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph?  POSSIBLE.  Windy conditions are possible today into Monday.  Monitor updates.  Wind gusts above 30 mph are likely.  Whether we go about 40 mph is still a question.

5. Will the heat index exceed 100 degrees?  NO.

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

7.  Is measurable snow and/or sleet in the forecast?  NO.

8.  Is freezing rain/ice in the forecast? NO.  
Freezing rain is rain that falls and instantly freezes on objects such as trees and power lines  Freezing fog possible, as well.

.

Fire weather risk level.

Thursday  through Thursday night: 4. Low risk.
Friday: 3. Very low risk.
Friday night: 3. Very low risk.

Fire Weather Discussion

Showers and thunderstorms will move eastward into southeast Missouri later this afternoon into tonight. It will be mainly dry east of the Mississippi River. South winds along with temperatures and humidity will increase tonight into Friday. There may be a break in the precipitation Friday; however, the next chance arrives by Friday evening and into Friday night. Relative humidity will remain high through the weekend and into next week with multiple chances of thunderstorms. South winds will also remain rather strong.

A Haines Index of 6 means a high potential for an existing fire to become large or exhibit erratic fire behavior, 5 means medium potential, 4 means low potential, and anything less than 4 means very low potential.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion

Good morning, everyone.

We have an unsettled weather pattern as we move through the coming days.

The good news is that the higher severe weather parameters appear to be west of our region vs over our region.  With that said, we will have a low level risk of severe weather Friday night and again Sunday afternoon and night.  I am monitoring Monday, as well.

The concern would be a few storms producing damaging wind.  Overall, the risk is low.

Although we have rain chances through Tuesday, it certainly isn’t going to rain all of the time.  There will be periods of showers and thunderstorms.

Here is the 7 am radar image.  The rain across southwest Missouri will spread east southeast as we move into the afternoon and evening hours.

Peak chances will be later this afternoon and tonight (centered over southeast Missouri with decreasing chances as you travel northeast), Friday night/Saturday morning (early), and then again Sunday night and Monday.  Those are the peak time periods for the greatest coverage of precipitation.

Other times periods could have spotty showers and storms, but coverage will be less.

Our first system will push through the region later today and tonight.  See the future-cast radars farther down in the blog update.

This first system is centered over southeast Missouri into northwest Tennessee.  Rain chances taper as you travel towards the northeast.  Some areas may receive very little if any rainfall.

Here is the rainfall forecast for system one (today and tonight).

Let me show you two models.  These are rainfall totals through Friday morning.

The general idea will be higher rain totals over southeast Missouri into northwest Tennessee vs areas farther northeast.

The Hrrr model

The NAM 3K model

Friday and Friday night

A somewhat stronger storm system will push showers and thunderstorms back into the region Friday afternoon and night.  Centered on Friday night.

Some of these storms could be on the strong side, but there is not a strong signal for actual severe weather.  The Storm Prediction Center has outlined portions of the region for a low level severe weather risk.  Overall, I am not impressed with the threat of severe weather.

A few storms could be intense over mainly southeast Missouri.  Widespread severe weather is unlikely.

Rain totals will vary greatly.  If you end up with a thunderstorm or two, then some areas will pick up more than 0.50″.  It is also possible that some areas miss out on shower and thunderstorm chances.

Saturday and Saturday night

A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible Saturday morning.  The risk of severe weather is low.

Saturday night is likely to be dry or mostly dry.  Perhaps a couple of showers.

Sunday into Monday

A cold front will enter the region Sunday afternoon into Monday.  This is when rain coverage is likely to be highest.  Numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop over Missouri and Arkansas Sunday afternoon and evening.  That precipitation will then spread east northeast into the rest of our region.

A few of these storms could produce strong wind gusts and small hail.  Once again, the risk of severe weather appears minimal.  Not zero, but low.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined portions of the region for a low level severe risk.  I will monitor it.  I am not overall concerned at this point.

I am watching Monday’s severe weather parameters.  For now, I just have showers and thunderstorms in the Monday forecast, but remaining below severe levels.  I can’t rule out adjustments to that portion of the forecast.

The latest guidance keeps a few thunderstorms going into Tuesday, as well.  At one point, the data showed Tuesday and Wednesday dry.  That portion of the forecast will need to be monitored for adjustments.

—->  I will be off work the first week of June. 

I am taking my dad to Normandy, France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.  During that time, I will be away from the computer.  Just a heads up!

My Great Uncle, Robert Dodson, was a meteorologist who parachuted in to forecast for D-Day and Operation Overlord.  We are going over to commemorate the event.

Staff Sergeant Robert A. Dodson enlisted in the Army in August 1941 and trained as a weather observer at New Orleans Army Bomber Base in September 1941.

In April 1944, Sergeant Dodson was assigned to the 21st Weather Squadron in Ascot, England and a month later he volunteered jump school training.  As his paperwork was being processed, the jump school was shut down in preparation for “D-Day”.  Undaunted, Sergeant Dodson and his commanding officer convinced the 82nd Airborne Division, located at Manchester, England, to make room for one more soldier.  Sergeant Dodson became a member of an Air Support Party from Ninth Air Force attached to Headquarters, 82nd Airborne Division, which consisted of an Officer in Charge, five communications men who acted as forward air controllers, a driver, and a weather observer, equipped with a half-track and a “veep” (radio equipped jeep).   Sergeant Dodson received a minimum of mock-up training before making his first and only jump.

At 0230hrs on 6 June 1944, Sergeant Dodson jumped with Force “A” of the 82nd Airborne Division commanded by Brigadier General James M. Gavin.  The sky was moonlit and practically clear when he landed about a mile northeast of St. Mere Eglise, France in a field where cattle were grazing.  One other man had landed in the same field with him and the two of them set out at once toward the head of the stick, in spite of a knee injury Sergeant Dodson sustained during the jump.  As they proceeded they picked up eight other members of their outfit one at a time.  Things were progressing according to schedule and they had yet to make contact with the enemy.  They found three injured men along the way, gave them first aid, and continued on.  Along the way they recovered their equipment which they unpacked, selected a VHF radio, and camouflaged the rest of the equipment in a hedgerow before finally linking up with the command post which had relocated to St. Mere Eglise.

The Germans counterattacked, and during thirty-six hours all members of the Air Support Party acted as riflemen.  When the siege was lifted, Sergeant Dodson began his weather observing duties.  Each hour he sent by radio the present weather, wind direction and speed, visibility, ceiling and cloud heights, temperature, and dew point.  For the last elements he was equipped with a shielded psychrometer and psychometric tables, while all other elements were determined visually.  This work continued until 21 June, when Sergeant Dodson was evacuated to the hospital at Bouteville for treatment on the knee he injured during the jump.  He later returned to his unit, which returned to England when it was relieved on 13 July.  Sergeant Dodson, who made his first trip to France during the war with a parachute as a weather observer with the 82nd Airborne Division, returned to France with the headquarters of Ninth Air Force and the 21st Weather Squadron, serving out the rest of the war as chief dispatcher at the motor pool.  He left the service in September 1945.

Sergeant  Dodson’s military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal,  Purple Heart, Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign medal with 4 bronze service stars (for the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns), American Defense Service Medal, and Distinguished Unit Citation.  The Air Weather Service recognized Sergeant Dodson’s World War II service in July 1987 by naming its Specialized Support Award in his honor.
