Today through July 20th: Severe weather is currently not anticipated. Keep in mind, summer thunderstorms can produce isolated wind damage. There is usually a lot of energy in the atmosphere during heat waves. If storms form, then they could produce high wind. At this time, thunderstorms are not in the forecast. Monitor updates.

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.

Tomorrow’s severe weather outlook.

The images below are from the WPC. Their totals are a bit lower than our current forecast. I wanted to show you the comparison.

Forecast Discussion

For the most part, calm weather is expected today through next Sunday.

A weak cold front will move into the region late Monday night and Tuesday. Perhaps a couple of storms will form along the front. Most areas will remain dry.

We need rain.

Here are the latest drought monitor maps.

Heavy rain fell Friday night over some of my forecast counties. Rain totals ranged from 0.00″ to over four inches!

Radar estimated totals from the last seven days. I don’t think this captured some of the heavier thunderstorms. A few spots had very high rain totals.

The Weather Observatory, in Massac County, has received over seven inches of rain since June 1st. We are one of the exceptions. Many areas are in drought and drought conditions have been worsening.

We will take what we can get.

Mostly dry weather is likely over the coming week and perhaps next week, as well.

There are some models that are predicting a major heat wave as we move into next week and the week after. Some of the data is quite eye popping. I am not a huge fan of long range models. They tend to skew in different directions and can sometimes can off the tracks when it comes to extreme weather.

With that said, data has been consistently showing the potential of a major heat wave next week and the week after. This would be bad news for drought stricken areas. Let’s pay attention to the latest guidance as we move forward.

Here are some of the models and what they are showing for temperatures. We will see how this trends. Next week could bring some triple digit readings.

These are different models and what they are predicting. I chose Paducah as a central location.

Let’s monitor trends this week and see if these triple digits verify next week. Either way, it looks hot. Dry, as well. Not the best news for those in need of rain.

The BAM long range video discusses the potential heat.

You can find these videos on your Beau Dodson Weather app or on the www.weathertalk.com website under the video tab.

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.

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.

You can see my final forecast at the top of the page.
