48-hour forecast
.
.
Monday to Monday
1. Is lightning in the forecast? Yes. Scattered lightning today through at least Sunday.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? Monitor. Widespread severe weather appears unlikely, but monitor updates.
The NWS officially defines a severe thunderstorm as a storm with 58 mph wind or greater, 1″ hail or larger, and/or tornadoes
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? Monitor. Slow moving storms could produce pockets of one to three inches of rain in less than an hour. Avoid flooded roadways. Similar pattern as recent weeks.
4. Will the heat index top 100 degrees? Monitor. Readings are likely to stay below 100, but monitor updates. Increasing dew points will mean heat index values approaching 100 degrees by the middle of the week. Some clouds and precipitation may help keep us below the 100 degree mark.
5. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees above zero? No.
6. Will there be accumulating snow and ice in the forecast? No.

Today through August 22nd: Widespread severe weather is currently not forecast. I can’t rule out some intense thunderstorms this week. If an MCS forms (complex of storms) then severe weather chances would increase. I will keep an eye on this portion of the forecast. A cold front arrives late in the week. That could also increase the chance of a few intense thunderstorms.
.
.
Today’s outlook (below).
Light green is where thunderstorms may occur but should be below severe levels.
Dark green is a level one risk. Yellow is a level two risk. Orange is a level three (enhanced) risk. Red is a level four (moderate) risk. Pink is a level five (high) risk.
One is the lowest risk. Five is the highest risk.
A severe storm is one that produces 58 mph wind or higher, quarter size hail, and/or a tornado.
The tan states are simply a region that SPC outlined on this particular map. Just ignore that.
The black outline is our local area.

- Increasing dew points/humidity levels as we move through the week.
- Tracking tropical systems.
- On and off thunderstorm chances.
Weather advice:
Make sure you are using the Beau Dodson Weather Talk app and not text messages. We can’t rely on Verizon and ATT to send out the text messages in a timely manner. Thus, we made the app. See links at the bottom of the page.

Weather Discussion
A fairly typical August weather pattern is underway. Warm temperatures. Humid. Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
This pattern will last through the entire work week and into the weekend.
I tried to hit certain time-periods with higher rain chances (you can see that at the top of the page with the % numbers).
The entire week looks to bring at least widely scattered showers and thunderstorms with time-periods of increased coverage. Coverage today and tomorrow will be higher over Kentucky/Tennessee vs Missouri/Illinois.
There will be quite a bit of moisture in the atmosphere. That means locally heavy downpours are likely to occur. Some spots will pick up one to three inches of rain between now and Sunday. Same as the last eight weeks. Hit and miss big totals from slow moving thunderstorms.
PWAT values will range from 1.6 to 2.1 over the coming week. Those are high numbers and represent quite a bit of moisture in the atmosphere.
Watch as we move through the next few days how moisture content increases. The 2″+ numbers represent a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. PWAT values.

Tropical Storm Fred Moves Ashore Today
Fred is moving ashore along the Florida Panhandle. It will miss us to the east. There may be some increase in moisture levels locally, but the rain and storms will remain closely tied to the center of the tropical storm.
You can see the forecast track on this graphic.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.
What should I take from these?
- The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
- The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
- The EC European weather model is in Zulu time.
.
What am I looking at?
You are looking at different models. Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather. All models are wrong. Some are more wrong than others. Meteorologists have to make a forecast based on the guidance/models.
I show you these so you can see what the different models are showing as far as precipitation. If most of the models agree, then the confidence in the final weather forecast increases.
