Seven-Day Tornado Outlook

March 28th through April 4th

Current risk: YES. There is a risk of tornadoes on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. I am monitoring next Wednesday and Wednesday night. I am monitoring Sunday 12 PM to Monday 2 AM. Perhaps centered on 3 PM to 2 AM. I will fine-tune the timing as fresh data arrives today.

Current confidence level: MEDIUM.

Comment: Data continues to increase the risk of severe weather on Sunday. Confidence is increasing that our region will experience severe thunderstorms with very large hail, damaging wind, and even tornadoes.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a large level three severe weather risk zone.

If you have outdoor plans on Sunday, then monitor the latest forecasts.

All of our region is in a level three risk. The levels range from one to five. Five being the highest.

The red-hatched zone means significant severe weather is possible.

Golf ball+ size hail, 70 mph wind gusts, and even a tornado.

Forecast discussion.

Mild temperatures through Sunday. Gusty winds. Cooler temperatures on Monday and Tuesday.
A few sprinkles today. A mix of sun and clouds.
Increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms tonight into Saturday. Have a plan B if you have outdoor activities.
Severe thunderstorms are likely Sunday afternoon and night. Be weather-aware.

Good morning, everyone.

The primary topic is the severe weather event on Sunday.

First, we will have a mix of sun and clouds today. Isolated light showers are possible. Warm and windy. Winds may gust above 30 mph from time to time.

Shower chances ramp up late tonight.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated on Saturday. If you have outdoor plans, then monitor the weather radars. Have a plan B.

It may not rain all day in one spot, but there will be rain on the radars most of the day. A few non-severe thunderstorms, as well.

Severe Weather Concerns Are Increasing on Sunday afternoon and night

We are now within 48 to 72 hours of this severe weather event. I am ramping up the language.

Make sure you have three or more ways of receiving severe weather information.

There remain some questions about wind fields on Sunday, but the overall forecast continues to ramp up concerns.

The ingredients appear to be coming together for a risk of large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes.

Some of the hail could reach golf ball size or larger. Wind gusts above 70 mph are possible, as well. There will also be a tornado risk.

The Storm Prediction Center (NOAA) has increased our risk to level three. It could rise to a level four. Either way, severe thunderstorms are likely on Sunday afternoon and night.

I am monitoring Sunday 12 PM to Monday 2 AM. Perhaps centered on 3 PM to 2 AM. I will fine-tune the timing as fresh data arrives today.

Be prepared Sunday afternoon and night for severe weather.

Review your storm safety plans with your family. Then, monitor updates.

Rainfall totals through Monday. Thunderstorms can enhance rain totals.

Another round of storms will likely impact the region next Wednesday. I can’t rule out severe thunderstorms. Let’s worry about that after we get past Sunday’s event.

Monitor updates.

** NEW SERVICE ** I have partnered with WeatherCall to bring you an added layer of protection.

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.
