Seven Day Hazardous Weather Outlook
1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Lightning is likely tonight into tomorrow. Lightning is likely again Thursday into Friday.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? POSSSIBLE. A few of the thunderstorms could produce hail and gusty winds Monday night into Tuesday morning. I will monitor Thursday into Friday for additional storm chances. A few of the storms Monday/Monday night could produce hail large enough to trigger a severe thunderstorm warning. That would be quarter size hail.
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? NOT AT THIS TIME. Several rain events are likely this week. The ground in many areas remains drier than normal. Flash flooding or general flooding appears unlikely. Some common area standing water will be possible (fields and what not). Generally, rain totals over the next seven days will range from 0.90″ to 1.80″. Locally higher in thunderstorms.
4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? NOT AT THIS TIME.
5. Will the heat index exceed 100 degrees? NO.
6. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees? NO.
7. Is measurable snow and/or sleet in the forecast? NO.
8. Is freezing rain/ice in the forecast? NO.
Freezing rain is rain that falls and instantly freezes on objects such as trees and power lines Freezing fog possible, as well.

Fire Weather Discussion
Good dispersion will persist today with a healthy south wind gusting 20 to 25 mph. Mixing will increase rather quickly early this afternoon as we break through the inversion. Minimum RH`s will generally range from 45 to 55%. A cold front moves into the region tonight into Tuesday, bringing with it a good chance for a wetting rain along with a few thunderstorms. Transport winds becoming north-northeasterly behind the front on Wednesday, but generally remain fairly light so dispersion will remain poor. Another good chance for a wetting rain arrives late Thursday through at least Friday night, possibly lingering into Saturday. Good drying conditions return Sunday into next Monday with RH`s returning to the 30-40 percent range.
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.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion
Good day, everyone.
I hope you enjoyed the amazing weekend. Boy, was it ever warm. Temperatures were well above seasonal averages.
Check out these Sunday afternoon temperatures. It felt like spring.
A cold front is advancing into the region today, tonight, and tomorrow.
Today will be plenty mild. Near record or record highs! Some locations could hit 80 degrees.
We will also see an increase in clouds today.
Our rain event has slowed. It is now forecast to arrive tonight and tomorrow. There is a small chance of a thunderstorm after 4 PM today near the MO/AR border, but it should remain dry over the bulk of the region.
The front will push towards our area tonight and tomorrow. That will bring increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has portions of the region in a level one severe weather risk tonight and tomorrow.
The primary concern will be hail. Perhaps up to the size of quarters. That could trigger a few severe thunderstorm warnings. The threat of wind and tornadoes appears very low – if not zero.
This is what the Paducah, KY NWS had to say about the severe threat.
“We do have a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms across SEMO into southwest IL, mainly for late Monday night through early Tuesday morning (roughly 9 PM through 3 AM).During much of the day Monday, we’ll be capped, warm, and breezy. We’ll actually have quite a bit of cloud cover in the morning with a few breaks in the afternoon.
There is not a clear trigger for thunderstorm development Monday evening, save for a weak mid-level trough. There will be some cooling in the 700-500 mb layer after 9 PM Monday night, along with the weak forcing. With the cap eroding overnight and a small trigger, the thinking is that this will be enough to kick off isolated to scattered storms across SEMO/southwest IL.
Shear will be marginal at best for severe storms, but there will be rather steep mid-level lapse rates of 7-8 C/km. Downdraft CAPE will also be marginally supportive of downburst winds.
So overall, we’re looking at isolated/scattered thunderstorms developing Monday night in the marginal risk area, with an isolated potential for hail up to the size of quarters and wind gusts up to 60 mph if a strong or severe storm can form”.
And they posted this graphic
We will have gusty southerly winds today and tonight. Those will be because of the gradient between high and low pressure. Just a typical windy day ahead of us. Some gusts into the 30s will be possible. Nothing extreme.
It appears that the cold front will push through the region Tuesday. Once the front moves south, then the rain chances will come to an end.
Wednesday into Wednesday night is likely to remain dry. I did include a very small chance of showers over our southern counties.
A series of disturbances will push into the region Thursday into Saturday. There are questions about the timing of that system. Will it linger into Saturday? That is one question.
Peak rain chances, late in the week, should be Thursday into Friday night. Showers and some thunderstorms will likely dot the weather radars. I will need to monitor the track of the area of low pressure.
If the low tracks to our north, then a few of the thunderstorms could be intense. That is uncertain, for now. I will monitor trends on the track and update accordingly.
Seven day rainfall totals. We need this moisture. It is dry over most of the region.
Cooler air arrives Saturday and Sunday behind the cold front.
Tuesday through Thursday will deliver above average temperatures, but not as warm as today.
Overall, an unsettled week ahead of us with on and off rain chances.

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.
