🌪️ Seven-Day Tornado Outlook ⛈️

April 25th through May 2nd

Current risk: MONITOR.

Current confidence level: Medium.

Comment: I will be monitoring next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Severe thunderstorms are possible. This is in the long range. I will know more over the coming days. A cold front will bring showers and storms back to the region late Monday into Tuesday night.

Currently, the highest chance of severe weather appears to be on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. Monitor updates.

For now, the Storm Prediction Center has outlined our area for severe weather on Tuesday afternoon and night. I will be monitoring trends in the guidance. They have not outlined Wednesday or Thursday, yet.

Seven-Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. A chance of lightning today and tonight. A small chance of lightning on Monday. A higher chance of lightning on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. I will monitor next Wednesday and Thursday.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? MONITOR. Some storms could be severe next Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. I will monitor next Wednesday and Thursday.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? NOT AT THIS TIME. I will monitor next week. If the front stalls, then locally heavy rain totals will be possible.

4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? NO.

5. Will temperatures rise above 90 degrees? NO.

6. Will the heat index rise above 100 degrees? NO.

I am watching another system next week. Rain chances on Monday and Monday night appear low. Those chances will increase on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

The front may still in or near our region on Wednesday and Thursday. If that happens, then thunderstorm chances will continue for several days.

A few of those thunderstorms could be severe, especially Tuesday afternoon and night.

For now, the Storm Prediction Center has outlined our region as being at risk for severe weather on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.

I am monitoring Wednesday and Thursday, as well. For now, they have not outlined a risk zone for those two days. That could change in future updates.

Temperatures will be warm today, but much cooler tomorrow and Sunday.

A warming trend begins in earnest on Monday.

The warmest days will likely be next Monday and Tuesday. Some locations could hit the middle to upper 80s early next week!

We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription. This does NOT replace www.weathertalk.com It is simply another tool for you to receive severe weather information.

I use it myself. I encourage everyone to have 3 to 5 ways of receiving their severe weather information. All sources can fail, and the more sources you have, the better prepared you will be in the event of severe weather warnings.

WeatherCall will call your cell phone or home number if your home is under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning. It only calls you if your home is inside the warning box/polygon. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.

Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.
