Seven-Day Tornado Outlook

March 24th through March 31st

Current risk: MONITOR. I am monitoring Friday through Sunday. Thunderstorms are possible, but it is still too early to know if there will be a tornado threat.

Current confidence level: LOW.

Comment: A storm system will move into our region this Friday into Sunday. At this time, the ingredients for severe weather may come together on Saturday or Sunday. Monitor updates over the coming days.

Seven-Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Isolated lightning is possible on Thursday and Thursday night. Lightning is likely Friday into Sunday.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? POSSIBLE. I am monitoring Friday into Sunday. Perhaps the peak chances of storms will be Saturday PM and into Sunday. Monitor updates.

The Storm Prediction Center has already outlined our region for a risk of severe storms on Saturday and Sunday.

This is still in the long range. I expect these outlooks to be adjusted with each passing day. Monitor updates. It is spring, after all.

Sunday’s severe weather outlook

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? UNLIKELY. I will monitor Saturday and Sunday. Locally heavy rain can’t be ruled out.

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.

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

8. Is freezing rain/ice in the forecast? NO.

Forecast discussion.

Light showers are possible tonight into Tuesday night, mainly across southern Illinois and northwest Kentucky. See rain probability graphics below.
Mild temperatures today into the weekend.
A few showers and storms are possible on Thursday and Thursday night.
Avoid burning brush and fields over the coming days.
Additional showers and thunderstorms are likely this coming weekend. Some storms could be intense.

Severe thunderstorms rolled through the region yesterday evening. We received numerous reports of dime to quarter size hail across portions of far southeast Missouri, western Kentucky, and western Tennessee.

A few reports of high wind gusts. Thankfully, despite having a tornado watch, there were no reports of tornadoes. Let’s take that as a win.

We will have calm weather today. The weather will be controlled by northwest jet-stream flow over the coming days.

There will be increasing clouds this afternoon and evening.

A fast-moving system will bring a few showers to the region tonight into Tuesday night, mainly across southern Illinois and northwest Kentucky. Otherwise, clouds will increase area-wide tonight.

Temperatures will be mild today into Wednesday. No extremes.

Slightly warmer air will begin to filter northward on Thursday. This will lead to some scattered showers and perhaps thunderstorms. Nothing of significance.

A larger system arrives this weekend.

I am watching Friday into Sunday for increasing shower and thunderstorm chances. There are differences in opinion on the exact timing.

We will have scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday and Friday night. Then, chances will increase on Saturday and Sunday.

Let’s look at some of those rain probabilities.

Tonight

Tomorrow

Tuesday night

Thursday

Thursday night

Then, rain chances ramp up as we move into Friday through Sunday.

Numerous showers and thunderstorms are anticipated. I can’t rule out severe weather. Monitor updates over the coming days.

I will be watching dew points. The dew point is a measure of moisture.

Dew points in the sixties would raise severe weather concerns. The GFS does show them rising into the sixties.

Rainfall totals through next Sunday. Depending on the strength and track of the weekend system, these may still need adjusting.

The timestamp (upper left) is in Zulu. 12z=6 am. 18z=12 pm. 00z=6 pm.

We have a new service to complement 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 under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning. It only calls you if your 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.
