Today through May 26th: Some storms could be intense Wednesday. At this time, the overall severe weather risk appears low, but not zero. The primary concern would be damaging wind gusts and hail.
.
.
Today’s outlook (below).
Light green is where thunderstorms may occur but should be below severe levels.
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 size hail, and/or a tornado.
The tan states are simply a region that SPC outlined on this particular map. Just ignore that.
The black outline is our local area.

Weather Discussion

- A few scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.
- Widespread thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday night. Locally heavy rain likely.
- A few remaining showers and thunderstorms Thursday.
- A slight chance of showers Friday.
- Dry Friday night through Monday. Warming trend.

Forecast Discussion
We have a fairly active week of weather ahead of us.
.
Tuesday into Thursday
We will have a mix of sun and clouds today. Clouds will be on the increase as we move towards the afternoon and evening hours.
You can see rain well off to our west. That is one of the systems that we will be watching over the next 12 to 24 hours.
8 AM radar and temperatures
A few showers and thunderstorms will push northward into southeast Missouri, northwest Tennessee, and western Kentucky as we move into the afternoon and evening hours, as well.
Several upper level disturbances and fronts will interact with warm and moist air to deliver widespread showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday night.
There will be plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture to work with. PWAT values (a measure of moisture in the entire atmosphere) will be quite high. That will mean locally heavy downpours.
PWAT values Tuesday night into Wednesday. Those purple colors represent plenty of moisture for thunderstorms to tap into.
Avoid flooded roadways (if they develop)
The WPC/NOAA have placed our region in a low-end risk of excessive rainfall/flash flooding tonight. The green is a level one risk.
Tonight’s risk is primarily across southeast Missouri and western Tennessee.
The risk spreads eastward Wednesday into Wednesday night. There is a level three risk across portions of the area (red).
The red zone experienced higher rain totals this past weekend, thus the higher level for them.
Then, a level one risk Thursday, as well. The system should be on exiting our region Thursday. A few downpours could remain in the region. Especially true if thunderstorms develop.
Between now and Thursday night, the region can expect a widespread 0.8 to 1.6″ of rain. Then, there will be pockets of much higher totals where thunderstorms train over the same area.
I would not be a bit surprised if someone picks up more than three inches of rain over the next 72 hours.
Training showers and thunderstorms (repeatedly moving over the same location) can easily double rain totals in a few short hours. This is when the flash flooding risk would be higher.
I do expect some counties to have training. It is difficult to predict exactly what counties. We can forecast the overall pattern potential.
A few of the thunderstorms could be intense, as well. The greatest risk of a few severe thunderstorms will be Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined our region in a level one risk. The light green is where general sub-severe storms are possible. The darker green is where a few storms could be severe with damaging wind and hail. The tornado risk is low.
As it usually the case, during the late spring and early summer months, lightning will be a concern for outdoor activities.
I have been wrestling with Friday’s forecast. To leave in a few showers and thunderstorms or remove them entirely. For now, I have a low-end chance. For the most part, the system will be over by then.
Dry weather Friday night through Monday.
A decent holiday weekend. We will have a warming trend through the weekend. Highs by Monday may hit 90 degrees!
Nice camping weather, overall.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.
What should I take from these?
- The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
- The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
.
What am I looking at?
You are looking at different models. Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather. All models are wrong. Some are more wrong than others. Meteorologists have to make a forecast based on the guidance/models.
I show you these so you can see what the different models are showing as far as precipitation. If most of the models agree, then the confidence in the final weather forecast increases.
