April 9, 2018: Non-subscriber update. Warmer weather ahead.

12 PM update

No major changes in the morning update.

Guidance continues to zero in on thunderstorms Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.

There is some agreement that the front may clear the area before noon on Saturday.

 

WeatherTalk monthly operating costs can top $2000.00.  Your $3 subscription helps pay for those costs.  I work for you.

For $3 a month you can receive the following.  You may choose to receive these via your WeatherTalk app or regular text messaging.

  1.  Severe weather app/text alerts from my keyboard to your app/cell phone.  These are hand typed by Beau.   During tornado outbreaks, you will receive numerous app/text messages telling you exactly where the tornado is located.
  2.  Daily forecast app/texts from my computer to your app/cell phone.
  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
  8.  Week one, two, three and four temperature and precipitation outlooks.
  9.  Monthly outlooks.
  10.  Your subscription also will help support several local charities.

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 for the late week event.

All of this falls on Friday into part of Saturday.

Locally heavy rain is possible.  A few severe storms are also a possibility.  Let’s keep an eye on Friday and Saturday.

These won’t be exact, of course.  Too many days out for that.  Just take a general idea from the graphics.

The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one that produces quarter size hail or larger, 58 mph winds or greater, and/or a  tornado.

 

Monday through Thursday: Severe weather is not anticipated.

Friday into SaturdayMonitor updates There will be thunderstorms.  Questions remain on the potential of severe weather.  Main concern would be late Friday afternoon into the wee morning hours of Saturday.

Sunday and Monday:  Severe weather is not anticipated.

Weather Headlines

  • We still have some chilly weather to go.
  • Frost possible tonight and more likely Tuesday night.
  • Much warmer Wednesday into Friday.
  • Widespread showers and thunderstorms along an incoming cold front late Friday into Friday night.  The timing of the front is questionable.  Monitor Saturday, as well.

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you enjoyed the weekend.   We had snow (twice), sleet, and rain in the region.  Got to love this spring.

The good news is that warmer weather is showing up in the charts for at least Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

There remains some debate about when the front will move through the region Friday or Saturday.

Saturday could be another warm day.  That would be dependent on the front holding off a bit.

Let’s look at the high-temperature forecast maps for those three days.

Wednesday

 

 

Thursday

 

 

Friday

 

 

Here are the Saturday and Sunday maps.

AGAIN, Saturday is highly dependent on frontal passage timing.  Over the last few days the guidance has been showing Saturday as much cooler in the temperature department.

Overnight, the GFS showed it warm.  We will see.

 

 

And, here is Sunday.  You will notice the cooler temperatures.  That is because the front has moved east.

I am leaning towards a frontal passage Friday night and Saturday morning.

 

 

A strong cold front marches through the region Friday afternoon into Saturday.  This will bring a return, briefly, to colder weather.

I am monitoring the risk of severe weather Friday into Saturday morning.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a risk zone that clips our region.  There could be an extension northward and northwestward of this in future outlooks.

The yellow zone is where they have outlined the risk of severe storms Friday and Friday night.

For now, I am monitoring our region.

 

 

There are questions about the timing of the front.  If it moves through our region Friday night then instability won’t be as great.

Here is the GFS CAPE (energy for storms) graphic for Friday evening.   Now, these maps will likely need adjusting between now and then.

At this time, the CAPE values Friday evening are mostly to our west and not all that impressive.

 

 

This next graphic is Saturday at 7 AM.  A hint of CAPE in our region.  Not overly impressive.  Again, this could change and there is a debate about frontal passage timing.

 

 

Future-cast radar from the GFS model guidance.

This is what radar might look like Friday into Saturday morning.  The timestamp is located in the upper left portion of the animation.

This is in Zulu time.

00Z is 7 pm.  06Z is 1 am. 12Z is 7 am. 18z is 1 pm.

 

 

Dewpoint map.

Dew points are a measure of moisture.  Meteorologists like to use dew points vs relative humidity.  Dew points give you a better idea of how much moisture is available in the atmosphere.  For severe weather, I like to look for dew point readings of 58 and above.

We see a tongue of higher dew points ahead of the cold front and then drier air behind the front.

This is in Zulu time.

00Z is 7 pm.  06Z is 1 am. 12Z is 7 am. 18z is 1 pm.

 

 

Temperature animation

This is in Zulu time.

00Z is 7 pm.  06Z is 1 am. 12Z is 7 am. 18z is 1 pm.

 

 

We are nearing the middle of April.  The clock on spring continues to move forward.  It is just a matter of time before the warmer air wins out and we can put away the winter coats.

We are not finished with the frost concerns.

We will have at least some chance of frost tonight and a better chance of frost Tuesday night.

I am also monitoring next week for one or two chances of frost.

Guidance shows temperatures may dip into the 30’s Sunday night and Monday night.  It appears unlikely this would be a hard freeze.  Monitor updates.

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.

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.
