Fire Weather Discussion

A dry frontal passage moving through shifts winds to northerly today with speeds of 5 to 15 mph. The resurgence of dry air keeps RHs low, dropping to 25 to 30 percent with localized values down to 20%. Winds become easterly Thursday as a low pressure system moves across the south, then winds shift to southerly Friday as a front approaches from the north, lifting moisture and showers into the area. A breezy cold front moves through Friday night. Dry weather is expected for the weekend with southeasterly winds returning by the end of the week ahead of a rainier system early next week.

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

1. Chilly nights.
2. Decent weather days today through Sunday morning.
3. Low end shower chances Thursday/Friday (mainly south and east in TN/KY)
4. A larger system Sunday into Tuesday of next week. I will need to fine tune the timing. It may end up being Monday and Tuesday for the primary cold front.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion

Good morning, everyone.

Well, our hard freeze yesterday did quite a bit of damage. Many of you are reporting the blooms on your trees have turned black or wilted. I have noted numerous trees in extremes southern Illinois and western Kentucky that appeared to have not made it through the cold temps.

We aren’t finished with cold air. Several nights this week will dip into the 30s. That could mean frost, if winds subside. Even a light freeze for some counties. Check the daily forecast numbers for the low temperatures.

A weak southern storm system will bring a few light showers to the region Thursday PM into Friday. I continue to cap rain chances in the 20% to 30% range. Perhaps I will bump that up to 40% or so near Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

Those rain chances are mainly for areas in western Kentucky and western Tennessee.

The chance of showers will be lower as you travel north and west.

If it does rain, it will be light. Trace amounts to less than 0.15″. Again, the highest probability will those amounts will be over Tennessee and Kentucky.

Here is the official WPC NOAA rainfall forecast. A sharp cut-off in the totals from northwest to southeast.

A larger system will push into the region late Sunday night into Tuesday. Peak rain chances will arrive Monday into Tuesday.

I have been fine tuning the rain probabilities and the timing.

The data is beginning to zero in on Monday/Monday night for the peak rainfall chances. Whether that continues into Tuesday, will need to be monitored. For now, I kept rain chances going into Tuesday.

This appears to be a widespread one inch rain event, with pockets of higher totals possible.

Some data shows a second system forming right behind the first one. That wave would keep rain going into at least Tuesday/Tuesday night. Perhaps even Wednesday.

Confidence on the second low is low. I will monitor trends.

Severe thunderstorms?

At this time, moisture return appears meager. Dew points look to remain in the 50s. If that is the case, then the risk of severe weather would be zero or limited.

If dew points end up being a bit higher, then severe storms will be possible. For now, no risk outline has been issued for this event. I don’t think we will have a better handle on that until Thursday night and Friday. By then, we should know a bit more.

I am hoping we don’t have to deal with severe weather. I have a severe weather conference Friday through Sunday in Mississippi! So, I would rather not deal with severe weather Monday and Tuesday! But, we will take what we get.

I will monitor trends. For now, I am not worried about severe weather Monday or Tuesday. Monitor updates moving forward in case we have adjustments.

No extreme temperatures through Wednesday.

We will have gusty winds Sunday into Tuesday. Occasional gusts above 30 mph will be possible. A deep area of low pressure will move to our north and west Monday/Tuesday. That will tighter the barometric pressure gradient and kick up our winds.

Models show another system around next Thursday or Friday.

Long way off for the models to know how that one will transpire. I will keep an eye on it.

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.

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 computer model data. Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather.

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.
