Seven Day Hazardous Weather Outlook
1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Lightning is in the forecast today and tonight. Lightning is in the forecast Thursday afternoon into Friday. I will monitor Thursday morning over southeast Missouri. I will monitor Friday night into Tuesday. Unsettled weather is possible next week.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? POSSIBLE. We have a low level risk of severe weather today. See the graphics farther down in the blog. We have a risk of severe weather Thursday, as well.
Thursday we will have higher instability and we will need to monitor it. The primary concern will be damaging wind and hail.
Cold air funnels are possible today. They rarely touch down or cause damage.
I am watching next Sunday and much of next week for on and off thunderstorm chances. Some could be severe. It is a bit early for details on next week. Monitor updates.
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? LOW RISK. Repeat rounds of showers and thunderstorms could cause some brief problems in areas that commonly flood. The main concern will be a few flooded roadways.
4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? NO.
5. Will temperatures rise above 100 degrees? NO.
6. Will the heat index (feels like temperature) exceed 100 degrees? NO.
7. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees? NO.
8. Is measurable snow and/or sleet in the forecast? NO.
9. 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 risk level.
Tuesday through Tuesday night: 3. Very low risk.
Wednesday: 4. Low risk.
Wednesday night: 4. Low risk.
Fire Weather Discussion
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will persist across the region today. A few showers are possible on Wednesday, mainly east of the Mississippi River. Additional shower and storm chances return Thursday into Friday. Relative humidity values will largely remain above 50 percent through Friday, before some decent drying conditions are possible this weekend. Southerly winds initially today will become westerly and eventually northerly on Wednesday. Winds return to southerly on Thursday and Friday.
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
Working on the discussion now. Check back shortly.
Unsettled weather will be with us today.
The 7 AM radar shows numerous showers and thunderstorms in the region. This is all drifting eastward.
We have a chance of cold air funnels today. Cold air funnels rarely touch down. They are usually harmless.
They can be photogenic.
Showers and thunderstorm chances will be with us through today. A few of the storms could produce nickel to quarter size hail and isolated high winds. A few storms could trigger a severe thunderstorm warning. Mainly over our eastern and southeastern counties. See graphic below.
You can also see all of the SPC outlooks farther down in the blog.
Here is today’s outlook for severe weather. The light green is sub-severe storms. Dark green is the level one (lowest risk) for severe weather.
Widespread severe weather is unlikely. A couple of warnings are possible.
Yesterday, this system produced a few warnings in southwest Missouri.
Also, several of today’s storms could produce hail because of the low freezing level. We will be under the influence of an upper level low. This is another reason cold air funnels will be possible.
Shower and thunderstorm chances will linger into tonight.
Wednesday will be mostly dry.
Shower and thunderstorm chances return late Wednesday night and Thursday over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. There remain some questions about how far east the rain will push during this time-frame.
Over the last few days this time-period appeared dry. Now, the data is speeding up the precipitation chances.
I am monitoring it and did add shower and thunderstorm chances.
Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase as we move into Thursday afternoon and evening. A few of the storms could be severe with high wind and hail.
The Storm Prediction Center has a level one severe weather risk in the region today and Thursday. See the graphics farther down in the blog under the severe weather outlooks.
The concern both periods will be isolated reports of high wind and hail. The tornado risk is low.
Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue into Friday.
Shower and thunderstorm chances will wane Friday night as the system pulls away from the region.
There are differing opinions on rain chances for Saturday and Sunday. I have kept the probabilities low at 10% to 20%. I am hoping that it will simply remain dry Saturday and Sunday. It will be warm.
Both Saturday and Sunday will be quite warm with high temperatures well into the 80s! Perhaps even some upper 80s by Sunday afternoon. It will feel more like early summer than mid-spring.
Next week looks unsettled with several chances of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could be intense as temperatures rise into the 80s and it becomes muggier. That is usually a combination that brings intense thunderstorms. Let’s keep an eye on all of next week with on and off chances of storms.
There is not a strong signal for one particular day producing severe weather, but rather a general idea that disturbances will move through the region with on and off chances. I will fine tune this portion of the forecast over the coming days.
—-> I will be off work the first week of June.
I am taking my dad to Normandy, France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. During that time, I will be away from the computer. Just a heads up!
My Great Uncle, Robert Dodson, was a meteorologist who parachuted in to forecast for D-Day and Operation Overlord. We are going over to commemorate the event.
Staff Sergeant Robert A. Dodson enlisted in the Army in August 1941 and trained as a weather observer at New Orleans Army Bomber Base in September 1941.
In April 1944, Sergeant Dodson was assigned to the 21st Weather Squadron in Ascot, England and a month later he volunteered jump school training. As his paperwork was being processed, the jump school was shut down in preparation for “D-Day”. Undaunted, Sergeant Dodson and his commanding officer convinced the 82nd Airborne Division, located at Manchester, England, to make room for one more soldier. Sergeant Dodson became a member of an Air Support Party from Ninth Air Force attached to Headquarters, 82nd Airborne Division, which consisted of an Officer in Charge, five communications men who acted as forward air controllers, a driver, and a weather observer, equipped with a half-track and a “veep” (radio equipped jeep). Sergeant Dodson received a minimum of mock-up training before making his first and only jump.
At 0230hrs on 6 June 1944, Sergeant Dodson jumped with Force “A” of the 82nd Airborne Division commanded by Brigadier General James M. Gavin. The sky was moonlit and practically clear when he landed about a mile northeast of St. Mere Eglise, France in a field where cattle were grazing. One other man had landed in the same field with him and the two of them set out at once toward the head of the stick, in spite of a knee injury Sergeant Dodson sustained during the jump. As they proceeded they picked up eight other members of their outfit one at a time. Things were progressing according to schedule and they had yet to make contact with the enemy. They found three injured men along the way, gave them first aid, and continued on. Along the way they recovered their equipment which they unpacked, selected a VHF radio, and camouflaged the rest of the equipment in a hedgerow before finally linking up with the command post which had relocated to St. Mere Eglise.
The Germans counterattacked, and during thirty-six hours all members of the Air Support Party acted as riflemen. When the siege was lifted, Sergeant Dodson began his weather observing duties. Each hour he sent by radio the present weather, wind direction and speed, visibility, ceiling and cloud heights, temperature, and dew point. For the last elements he was equipped with a shielded psychrometer and psychometric tables, while all other elements were determined visually. This work continued until 21 June, when Sergeant Dodson was evacuated to the hospital at Bouteville for treatment on the knee he injured during the jump. He later returned to his unit, which returned to England when it was relieved on 13 July. Sergeant Dodson, who made his first trip to France during the war with a parachute as a weather observer with the 82nd Airborne Division, returned to France with the headquarters of Ninth Air Force and the 21st Weather Squadron, serving out the rest of the war as chief dispatcher at the motor pool. He left the service in September 1945.
Sergeant Dodson’s military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign medal with 4 bronze service stars (for the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns), American Defense Service Medal, and Distinguished Unit Citation. The Air Weather Service recognized Sergeant Dodson’s World War II service in July 1987 by naming its Specialized Support Award in his honor.
