🌪️ Seven-Day Tornado Outlook ⛈️

March 20th through March 27th

Current risk: MONITOR.  I will monitor Sunday.

 Current confidence level: MEDIUM.

Comment:  A cold front will move through the region on Sunday.  I will monitor the risk of thunderstorms.   The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of the region in a risk.  Mainly east of Kentucky Lake.  Shifts westward are possible.

Here is the current outlook for Sunday.  The yellow zone is a level two severe weather risk.

.

Seven-Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast?  POSSIBLE.   Lightning is possible on Sunday.

2.  Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast?  MONITOR.   I am watching a strong cold front this coming Sunday.  Severe thunderstorms can’t be ruled out.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? NO.

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

5. Will temperatures drop below 10 degrees?  NO.

6. Will the wind chill dip below 0 degrees?  NO.

Forecast discussion.    

  •   Cooler today and tomorrow.
  •   Use care if you are burning brush or trash.  Avoid burning if possible.
  •   Another cold front arrives this coming weekend.  At this time, Sunday will deliver the highest probability of showers and thunderstorms.
  •   I am monitoring the risk of severe weather on Sunday.

Good morning, everyone.  Welcome to Spring 2025!

We are waking up to chilly temperatures again.  The roller-coaster continues.

.

There is even a rain-snow mix being reported in some counties.

I did notice that the Paducah, Kentucky, NWS is now number two in the nation for tornado warnings this year.

.

No major weather concerns today other than an enhanced fire risk, again.  Avoid burning brush and trash.  There have been numerous fires over the past week.  Some large ones.

Winds won’t be as gusty today, thankfully.

Gradient winds gusted to 60 mph yesterday in several locations.  These were non-thunderstorm winds.

We had several severe thunderstorm warnings yesterday afternoon and evening.  Some wind damage was reported in Hopkinsville.

Our next weather system will arrive on Saturday night and continue into Sunday night.

A cold front will push across the region.  A few showers and storms are possible as early as Saturday night.  Rain chances will be higher on Sunday and Sunday night.  Ending on Monday morning.  See the future-cast radars below.

The severe weather threat has pushed northward a bit.  We need to monitor this.

Again, here is the current outlook.  This has been pushed way northward over the past 24 hours.

This is the level two risk zone.  We will be within the three-day range tomorrow, and I will know quite a bit more.

.

The bulk of the showers and thunderstorms will occur Sunday and Sunday night.  Hopefully, that will leave Monday dry.

Monitor updates.
