Here is the latest WPC/NOAA rainfall outlook.

Keep in mind, this graphic won’t capture those locally heavy thunderstorms that we often have during the summer months.  Those storms can easily drop an inch or more of rain in less than an hour.

Here is the 72-hour rainfall forecast through 7 AM Wednesday

 

 

Here is the seven-day rainfall forecast through 7 AM Sunday

A fairly large rain event over the coming days.  Some areas will likely top three inches of rain.  This is much needed rain for many areas.

This is one of the larger/widespread rain events over the last few months.

 

 

Spray conditions will be mixed.  The reason for this is on and off shower and storm chances.  It won’t rain everywhere through the period.  There will likely be rain on radar into Saturday.  Some locally heavy rain likely.

 

 

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 on your keyboard.

You may also try restarting your browser.  The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.

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.

Tuesday through Thursday: Scattered thunderstorms are possible.  Storms that form will produce gusty winds, lightning, and locally heavy rain.  The threat of severe weather appears low to marginal.  I can’t rule out a few reports of wind gusts between 50 and 60 mph.  Isolated down-burst winds can occur with summer thunderstorms.

Friday through Monday:  Scattered thunderstorms are possible.  Storms that form will produce gusty winds, lightning, and locally heavy rain.  The best chance of intense thunderstorms may hold off until Monday.  This is when a stronger storm system approaches the region.

 

Summer thunderstorms can produce isolated microbursts.

microburst winds can exceed 50 mph.

What are microbursts?

A series of disturbances will push through our region between today and next Monday.

Each of these disturbances will be accompanied by showers and thunderstorms.  Locally heavy rain is likely over the coming days.

I would not be surprised if a few locations exceeded three inches of rain between now and Monday night.

The best chance of rain today and tonight will be across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.  The same on Wednesday.

That does not mean it won’t rain elsewhere.  The greatest coverage, however, should be over the above mentioned areas.

Rain chances will increase area-wide as we move into Wednesday night and Thursday.  Locally heavy rain is likely.

We will have at least a few scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday night into Friday, as well.

Here is the future-cast radar from the NAM model guidance.  This is what the NAM model believes radar will look like over the coming 48 to 60 hours.  It won’t be exact.  Take the general idea from this graphic.

 

 

Another system chugs into the region late Friday afternoon and night.  This system lingers into Saturday.  This should deliver an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity, as well.

That system will linger into Sunday.

Yet another system moves across the region on Monday.  That system will also deliver increasing shower and thunderstorm chances.

Many of you need rain.  It appears many of you will receive a decent rain event between now and Monday night.

Temperatures won’t be extreme.  Highs will mostly top out in the 84 to 88-degree range right on through the weekend.  Overnight lows will dip into the 60’s to around 70 degrees.

Temperatures will be somewhat cooler because of cloud cover.  Not sure cool is the right word.  Not as hot.  How is that?

Wind fields aloft will be fairly tame this week.  That should limit the risk of severe weather.  A few isolated reports of damaging wind gusts are possible.  The main concern would be Wednesday and Thursday and then again next Monday.  This is when wind fields aloft will be slightly stronger.  Still, nothing extreme.

CAPE (a measure of instability for thunderstorms to tap into) will be marginal for severe weather.  Today’s CAPE values will be low.

Those numbers increase a bit on Wednesday and even more so on Thursday.  We will need to monitor Thursday since CAPE levels will be higher.  Perhaps a few strong thunderstorms (again, isolated high winds).

Wednesday CAPE

Fairly low numbers Wednesday.

CAPE values in the 300 to 1500 range.  That is not all that high for the Month of August.  In the winter, those numbers would be high.

 

 

Thursday CAPE numbers via the NAM model guidance.

Thursday’s numbers will be in the 1500 to 3000 range.  Perhaps sufficient for a few thunderstorms to produce high winds.

 

 

There will be plenty of moisture for thunderstorms to work with.  That means locally heavy rain is again on the table.

The low level jet will kick up as we move through the next couple of days.  The low level jet will help spread a conveyor belt of moisture into the region.

You can see that animation here (850 mb is about 5000′ aloft).  A strong low level jet typically means heavy rain and strong thunderstorms.

The strongest low level jet will be Wednesday afternoon into Thursday.

Time stamp upper left.  Click image to enlarge.

You are looking at winds at the 5000′ level (aloft).

 

 

PWAT values will range from 1.7 to 2.1″ over the coming days.  PWAT is a measure of moisture that thunderstorms tap into.  Showers and thunderstorms will be prolific rain producers.  Tropical-like.

 

 

Here is the PWAT animation map from the NAM model guidance.  You can see the high numbers moving across our region over the coming days.

This prolonged period of high PWAT values is another indicator that heavy rain will be possible.

Time stamp is located in the upper left portion of the animation.  Click to enlarge.

The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area. They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.

The long-range video is technical. Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video. Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

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.
