  3.  Social media links sent directly to your app/cell phone.  When I update the blog, videos, or Facebook you will receive the link.
  4.  AWARE emails.  These emails keep you well ahead of the storm. They give you several days of lead time before significant weather events.
  5.  Direct access to Beau via text and email.  Your very own personal meteorologist.  I work for you!
  6.  Missouri and Ohio Valley centered video updates
  7.  Long-range weather videos

Example of a recent severe weather alert.  I issued this well before the official tornado warning.  You would have had plenty of time for you and your family to seek shelter.

Your $3 per month also helps support these local charity projects.

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.

RAIN TOTALS

Let’s take a look at precipitation totals from Friday afternoon through Saturday.

We do not need more rain.

The Friday night system has trended south a bit and weaker.  If this trend continues then we will need to revisit the rain totals.

This may be too high.

Weather Highlights

  1. Increasing rain chances Friday afternoon and night
  2. Rain may change to snow Friday night
  3. Another precipitation event possible late Sunday into Monday

 

You woke up this morning to chilly temperatures.  Widespread frost and freeze conditions across our region.

Here was the 5 AM temperature snapshot.

Some areas were colder.

 

I continue to look at the charts for sustained warmth.   That won’t occur through this weekend.

We should have a couple of milder days next week.

Today and tonight:

Outside of the cold air, today will be rather tranquil.  Temperatures will climb into the 50’s.  Below normal temperatures.

Let’s look at the temperature anomalies for today.

Normal high temperatures are between 64 and 66 degrees.  Normal low temperatures are in the lower 40’s.

At 7 AM temperatures were WELL below normal.  This is not the air temperature.  This is how many degrees below normal the temperatures are.

 

 

Here is the 1 PM temperature anomaly.  Not quite as bad as the morning hours.

 

 

There will be a mix of sun and clouds today.  No precipitation through tonight.

 

Friday and Friday night:

Yet another precipitation event will close in on the region Friday afternoon and night.

Rain should develop from the west and spread east by Friday afternoon and evening.

The good news is that we are not anticipating severe thunderstorms!  It is April, so we will take what we can get.

Temperatures on Friday will vary based on clouds and precipitation.  For the most part, temperatures will rise into the middle to upper 50’s.

Here is the future-cast radar for Friday afternoon and evening.

This is what radar might look like tomorrow afternoon and evening.  Some scattered showers.  Green is rain.  Blue is snow.

 

 

Snow chances?

The rain should change to light snow Friday night into early Saturday morning.  I can’t rule out some sleet or freezing rain mixed in with the snow.

Guidance is a bit chaotic on snow totals.

Ground temperatures are warm and air temperatures will be nominal for accumulating snow.

There could be some light snow accumulation but confidence is low.  Monitor updates.

I will keep a close eye on the model trends as we move through today and tonight.

 

Saturday into Sunday:

Temperatures Saturday and Sunday will remain on the cool side.  As a matter of fact, temperatures may once again drop below freezing Saturday night.

Frost will be possible Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday night.   Spring just can’t seem to get a foothold.

Temperatures may drop into the 30’s Sunday night, as well.  Clouds and some light patchy precipitation should prevent frost from forming.

Dry weather is anticipated Saturday into Sunday morning.

Rain showers or a mix of rain and snow will be possible late Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.  The best chance of rain will likely be Sunday night.  Again, temperatures may be cold enough for a few snowflakes to mix in with the rain.

You can see that system here on the GFS model guidance.

Green is rain.  Blue is snow.  I can’t rule out some wet snowflakes Sunday night.  Little or no accumulation.

 

 

Partly sunny conditions Monday into Wednesday.  Perhaps a bit more sun Tuesday and Wednesday.

A low moderating trend will occur with our temperatures.  Highs Monday and Tuesday will rise into the 50’s.  Highs by Wednesday may reach the 60’s!  We will take that.

Another cold front is forecast to push into the region late next week.  Plenty of time to monitor that event.

You can see that system depicted here on the GFS weather model.  Low pressure in South Dakota.  Tightly packed isobars (equal lines of pressure).  A band of showers and thunderstorms near a cold front trailing through the Missouri Valley.  Again, plenty of time to watch this system.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

 

I am working on a few new items for us.

As always, I am grateful for all of you and the support you bring to my passion.

There was never a plan.

All of this started with a severe weather email list of ten or twenty people after the killer 2003 tornadoes. That grew to what you see today.

From that tornado, the Shadow Angel Foundation was born. We delivered hundreds of teddy bears to Pulaski, Massac, and Pope Counties. The “storm” bears went to Head Start, Kindergarten, and first graders. Included with the bears was a package of information for parents on how to talk to their child about tornadoes and severe weather.

We then worked with the Metropolis Planet on producing the Terror in the Night tornado book. The book was filled with personal accounts of that horrible night. Many people said the book helped bring closure.

Since then we have delivered thousands of teddy bears to Child Watch and Pasac. The counselors use the teddy bears to help the children feel safe.

Soon after that, the late Kent King (radio DJ and emergency manager) asked me to cover weather for McCracken County OEM/DES. I was COM 10 on the scanner feeds.

Ed Duff, with McCracken County Rescue, now utilizes my services during severe weather events along with two other local counties. They receive one on one attention during events.

That led me to Sue Henry with the American Red Cross where I was able to help during Hurricane Katrina and Rita. An experience that changed my life.

Around that time social media exploded onto the scene. My personal Facebook page quickly filled up with 5000 people. The limit Facebook allows for personal pages.

Facebook then started pages. I was able to make a page just for weather.

It was soon after that that I bought a portion of my family farm back. We built my house and the Weather Observatory.

Jason Darnall helped put together an amazing weather center. Many hours of work.

Then the Paducah Sun then asked me to do weather for them.

That led to the amazing team at Innovations Branding House. They produced my Weather Observatory website.

About four years ago there was a falling out with some local meteorologists. It bothered me so much that I almost quit weather.

The Paducah Sun even ran a story that I was taking a break from weather. I was taking a year off.

Several other local meteorologists then came to me and told me to brush it off. They encouraged me to start a weather business. They explained what I could bring to the local weather table.

Soon after that, as fate would have it, Preston Ursini and the Fire Horn team asked me to think about producing text messages during severe weather. That led to Weather Talk. That then led to the Weather Talk app.

Had it not been for that low point, I don’t think Weather Talk would have ever come to be. Life is funny like that. Something bad turned into something good.

I often times tell people that I have the best Facebook friends, enthusiasts, and followers. It is rare that someone complains on the weather page.

Some of you have basically become like family to me. When severe weather strikes it becomes personal to both you and me.

Here is what we are going to bring you.

1. We are coming out with a major app update for subscribers. We plan on having radar in the app, as well as your usual app/text messages to the daily blog, video, and Facebook updates.

2. We are completely revamping the WeatherTalk website. Preston Ursini, from The Fire Horn, is working alongside Innovations Branding House to complete this task. The Fire Horn is who I partner with to make all of this work.

3. I am going to try and stick to a daily schedule. That way everyone knows when to expect an update. See the comment section.

4. Many of you have asked me to do Facebook Live video updates during winter storms and severe weather outbreaks. I have spent the last week learning how to use OBS studio software. This software will allow me to deliver you Facebook Live events. You will get your wish.

5. We are moving towards a flat subscription fee of $5 a month. Everyone that is paying $3 a month will be grandfathered in. If you want to voluntarily upgrade to the $5 plan then that would be great. We will roll this out when the new website is finished.

Right now we have a $3, $5, and $10 plan. The only difference is how many cell phone numbers you can add.

With the $5 a month plan we will let everyone have up to seven phone numbers. That should cover your family members. Sound good?

6. I have streamlined the digital media blog. That would be the talk.weathertalk.com site. You will find that is has been organized.

Remember, I work for you. I don’t work for television or radio. I am your employee.

You have a personal meteorologist. And, as everyone knows, I put my heart and soul into this.

Subscribers will receive the following:

You may subscribe at www.beaudodsonweather.com

1. The app/text updates during tornado outbreaks and all other weather events.
2. Rapid-fire tornado app/text messages. I send out numerous updates as I track the tornado. Some of you can testify to these rapid-fire tornado messages.
3. Daily weather forecast sent to your app/text.
4. Link sent to the app/text to the daily blog and Facebook updates on non-severe weather days. Instead of waiting around for me to post a new Facebook thread you can receive it in your app/text.
5. Link sent to the app/text to the daily blog and Facebook updates on severe weather or winter storm days.
6. We are updating the weather map page on the website. That page will have thousands of daily weather maps for you to access.
7. I answer every email you send. I try to answer every private message you send to me.
8. We run three hour live feeds during severe weather where we attempt to answer as many questions as possible. Same for winter storms.
9. You receive access to special short and long-range video updates from the Bamwx team (who help me with daily videos).
10. You receive access to special short, long-range, and seasonal temperature and precipitation outlooks.
11. Your subscription fee helps six local charities (see comment section for more information).

Normal monthly out of pocket operating costs (see comment section) are around $2000.00.

The service I provide is unique. I don’t believe there is anything else like it in the country. Not for this price and not for the volume of information you receive.

We hope to have the new app and website finished soon. Watch for announcements.

 

 

New schedule

 

Example of some of my rapid-fire tornado app/text messages.

Make sure you have app/text notification ONE turned on.  This one is called WeatherOne.  You can make sure that is on by signing into your www.weathertalk.com account and clicking the personal notification settings tab.  Make sure WeatherOne is on (green).  Green is on.  Red is off.

 

 


We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars.   If a radar does not update then try another one.  If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5.  You may also try restarting your browser.

The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.

During the winter months, you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.

Did you know that a portion of your monthly subscription helps support local charity projects?

You can learn more about those projects by visiting the Shadow Angel Foundation website and the Beau Dodson News website.

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.
