🌪️ Seven-Day Tornado Outlook ⛈️

August 7th through August 13th

Current riskNONE.

Current confidence level: High confidence in the forecast.

Comments:   We are not anticipating tornadoes.

.

Seven-Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast?  ISOLATED.   A small chance of lightning through Sunday.  Scattered lightning is possible from Monday through Thursday.

2.  Are organized severe thunderstorms in the forecast? NO.  Thunderstorms, during the summer months, can produce isolated gusty winds.   Organized severe weather is not anticipated.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? NO.  Slow-moving summer storms can produce isolated torrential downpours that can briefly flood ditches and roadways.   Organized or widespread flash flooding is not anticipated. 

4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph?  NO.   

5. Will temperatures rise above 90 degrees?  LIKELY.   Today through at least Tuesday.  Perhaps beyond Tuesday.

6. Will temperatures rise above 100 degrees?  NO.    

7. Will the heat index (feels like) rise above 100 degrees? NOT AT THIS TIME.  It is possible we flirt with 100 next week (depending on the placement of a cold front).     

8. Will the heat index rise above 115 degrees? NO.   

Here is my concern meter through Friday.  No significant concerns.

.
Here is the extended concern meter outlook.  This takes us through next Wednesday.  Extreme weather is not anticipated.

Keep in mind that typical August/summer thunderstorms can produce isolated heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds.

Forecast discussion.    

  •   More warm and humid weather ahead.  Typical August weather.  No extremes.
  •   An isolated shower or thunderstorm will be possible through Saturday.  Most areas will remain dry.
  •   The chance of showers and thunderstorms will be low today through Sunday.
  •   Scattered thunderstorms will be possible from Monday through Thursday.

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are having a nice week.

Yesterday was warm and humid.  There were one or two showers in the region, but the vast majority of the area was dry.

Today will be a repeat.  Warm and humid.  The dog days of summer?

We do have some patchy dense fog in the area this morning.  Use care.

The closest rain was in southeast Iowa.  That was moving southeast, but is forecast to weaken with time.

We will have a relatively stagnant weather pattern through next Monday.  I can’t rule out an isolated heat-of-the-day pop-up storm, but the vast majority of the region will remain dry.

Currently, I have a 20% to 30% chance of storms from Sunday through Thursday.    We will see if one of those days trends higher with probabilities.

At this time, it appears the highest chance of precipitation will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.

It will be warm this week.  Temperatures will range from the upper eighties to the lower nineties for daytime highs.  And around seventy degrees for overnight lows.  We are not going back to the extreme numbers we saw over the last two weeks.  Thankfully.

It will be a bit humid, at times.  Typical August weather.  Summer isn’t over, quite yet!

The extended EC model output shows warm weather ahead of us.  A lot of upper 80s to lower 90s in the charts.

The GFS model, not shown here, has middle to upper 90s.  That seems a bit hot to me, but I will monitor trends.

.

Here is my mugmometer.  How muggy will it feel?

Remember, dew point is what controls how humid it feels outside.  It will be a bit more humid/sticky as we move through the week, but nothing extreme.


.

No tropical storm or hurricane threats in our region through the next ten days.

I will keep an eye on mid to late August for a higher risk of tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico.  For now, nothing of concern.

Have a super Wednesday!

** NEW SERVICE **  I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.
.
More information on the WeatherCall subscription service at the link below or use the QR code.

.
We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription.  This does NOTreplace 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 under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning.  It only calls you ifyour home is inside the warning box/polygon. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.
Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.
