5. Will temperatures rise above 100 degrees? POSSIBLE.  Temperatures will be hot next week.  I can’t rule out some 100 degree readings.

6. Will the heat index (feels like temperature) exceed 100 degrees?  YES.  Heat index values will rise above 100 early next week.

7. Will the heat index (feels like temperature) exceed 110 degrees?  NOT AT THIS TIME.

8. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees?  NO.

9.  Is measurable snow and/or sleet in the forecast?  NO.

10.  Is freezing rain/ice in the forecast? NO.  
Freezing rain is rain that falls and instantly freezes on objects such as trees and power lines  Freezing fog possible, as well.

.

Fire weather risk level.

Friday: 5.  Low risk.
Friday night: 4.  Low risk.
Saturday: 4.  Low risk.
Saturday night: 5.  Low risk.

Fire Weather Discussion

Dry conditions will continue for the next several days. Temperatures will warm significantly through early next week. This will lead to several days with daily minimum RH values of 35-40%. In the short term, good mixing and southerly transport winds of 10-15 kts will promote good conditions for smoke dispersal through Saturday.

A Haines Index of 6 means a high potential for an existing fire to become large or exhibit erratic fire behavior, 5 means medium potential, 4 means low potential, and anything less than 4 means very low potential.

Weather Highlights and Forecast Discussion

    1.     Hot weather this weekend.
    2.     Dry weather conditions into the middle of next week.

 

Weather advice:

Do you have any suggestions or comments? Email me at beaudodson@usawx.com

Make sure you have three to five ways of receiving your severe weather information.

Weather Talk is one of those ways.

** NEW SERVICE **  I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.
We also have a new service to compliment 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 in a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning. It only calls you if your home is inside the warning polygon. If you are outside the polygon it will not disturb you.
More information on the WeatherCall subscription service here.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion

Another nice day is on tap for the region.  I don’t have any weather concerns.

Again, I hope you have been able to enjoy it.

A warming trend begins tomorrow.  Temperatures will rise into the 70s and 80s again today.

Hot weather returns this weekend with widespread 90s making an appearance.

It will be a bit more humid Sunday into much of next week, but not extreme.  Temperatures will be hot.  A little humid.

I am expecting dew points to rise into the 60s.  Dew point is what makes it feel muggy. Over the last two months we experienced temperatures in the 90s with dew points in the 70s and 80s.  That made it very uncomfortable.  Temperatures in the 90s with dew points in the 60s isn’t as bad.

You can expect heat index values in the 95 to 105 degree range next week.

I am watching the middle and end of next week for the potential for a few showers and thunderstorms.  For now, however, there is not a strong signal to add precipitation to the forecast.  I will monitor it.

Let’s check out those temperatures.

Today’s Storm Prediction Center’s (SPC) Severe Weather Outlook

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 or larger size hail, and/or a tornado.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.

What should I take from these?

  1. The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.

Occasionally, these maps are in Zulu time.  12z=7 AM.  18z=1  PM.  00z=7 PM. 06z=1  AM

Green represents light rain.  Dark green represents moderate rain.  Yellow and orange represent heavier rain.
