This is a blend for the region.  See the detailed region by region forecast further down in this post.

Friday through Friday

1.  Is lightning in the forecast?  Yes.  A chance of lightning today.  I will be monitoring a NW to SE moving system Monday.  I will monitor next Wednesday night and Thursday/Friday.

2.  Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? Not at this time.  I will be monitoring next Wednesday night into Thursday/Friday.

* The NWS officially defines a severe thunderstorm as a storm with 58 mph wind or greater,  1″ hail or larger,  and/or tornadoes

3.  Is flash flooding in the forecast?  Not at this time.

4.  Will there be a chance of a frost or freeze?  No.

5.  Will the heat index exceed 100 degrees?  No.

6.  Will the wet-bulb globe temperature reach danger levels? No.  WBFT forecast below.

Friday WBGT (F): 73°  No issues.
Saturday WBGT (F): 70°  Nice feel to the air.
Sunday WBGT (F): 70°  Nice feel to the air.
Monday WBGT (F): 74° No issues.
Tuesday WBGT (F): 74° No issues.
Wednesday WBGT (F): 76° No issues.
Thursday WBGT (F): 80° No issues.
Friday WBGT (F): 83°  Marginal.  If working outside, then take 15-minute breaks each hour.

.

The WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation).

This differs from the heat index, which takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated for shady areas.

If you work or exercise in direct sunlight, this is a good element to monitor.

Sports coaches, schools, military agencies, OSHA, and many nations use the WBGT as a guide to managing workload in direct sunlight.

Today through June 5th.  A few thunderstorms are possible today.  Lightning is the main concern.  Perhaps gusty winds near the thunderstorms.  Move indoors until the thunderstorms pass.

I am monitoring Monday.  A system moving NW to SE across the Ohio Valley could deliver a few thunderstorms.  Low confidence.

In the long-range, I will be monitoring the track of thunderstorm complexes next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  For now, the track is uncertain.  Thus, no severe thunderstorms are currently in our forecast.  Monitor updates.

.

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 advice:

Updated May 29, 2020

A few thunderstorms are possible today.  Lightning will be the main concern.  Perhaps some gusty wind near storms.

A heat ridge is forecast to develop mid to late next week.  Hot and increasingly humid air.  We will likely have to start thinking about heat index values above 90 Thursday or Friday onward.

Weather Discussion

    1.   A cold front sweeps eastward today!
    2.   A few showers and thunderstorms are possible as it moves across the region.
    3.   A cold front arrives tonight and Friday.  This will bring an end to our warm, humid, and unstable airmass.
    4.   MUCH nicer this weekend.  Perhaps some clouds lingering.
    5.   A ridge of high pressure builds in next week.  Where it is centered will determine our high temperatures.  Hot weather by mid/late week?  Monitoring.
    6.   Monitoring thunderstorm clusters next week.

 

I have been talking about this front all week long.  Here it comes!  Two fronts.  They are both going to push across the entire area today.

We will have some scattered showers and thunderstorms today.  It does not appear to be a widespread concern.

The precipitation will occur along and ahead of the cold front.  Chances will be a bit higher over southeast Illinois and Kentucky.  Lower rain chances over southeast Missouri.

This will lower temperatures and dew points.  It won’t feel muggy behind this front.

8 AM dew points.  Muggy air in front of the front.  Drier air behind the front.  Dew points in the 60s feel humid.  The middle to upper 60s feel muggy.

Here is the temperature map (8 AM).  You can see cooler air in Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.

.

The weekend is going to feel completely different than the last few days.  Highs in the 70s.  Lows in the 50s.  Dew points in the 50s.  Spring weather!

The only fly in the ointment could be a few clouds.  There is some disagreement on the amount of cloud cover.  For now, I went partly cloudy through the period.

Patchy fog is also possible each night/morning.

Enjoy this weekend’s weather, because it is not going to last.

.

Is a heatwave developing?  Stay tuned.

I will be monitoring thunderstorm clusters next week.  There remain some questions about the track of these thunderstorms.

One system arrives Monday.  It moves northwest to southeast across the Missouri and Ohio Valley.

Confidence in this bringing thunderstorms to our area is rather low.  Monitor updates.

You can see that piece of energy here on the EC model.

.

A ridge of high pressure will build into the region next week.

Let me show you the 500 mb anomaly plot.  Temperature anomaly at 18,000′.  This is one controlling feature of our weather.

Let me compare today’s map vs next week’s map.

We are currently in a trough.

The atmosphere is made up of troughs and ridges.  Troughs tend to bring cloudy and wet weather conditions.  Ridges tend to bring hotter and sunnier weather.

Low pressures are associated with troughs.  High pressure is associated with ridges.

.

Notice how those black lines (height/temp) lines curve from NW to SE over our region?  That is what today’s 500 mb look like.  Winds will be out of the north and northwest.  Cooler air.  Nicer air.  A trough in the east and a ridge in the west.  It will be hot in the southwest U.S.

We are in a trough.  Thus, the clouds and on/off precipitation.

.

That correlates to below normal temperatures this weekend.  You can see that on this temperature anomaly map.  This shows above and below normal temperatures.

We are in blue this weekend.  Below normal temperatures.

.

Compare that to next weekend.  We call this a ridge.  Heights build upward/higher.  This spells hot air.

This is the GFS map.  Temperatures in the 90s will be possible (if this verifies).

The EC model shows the same.  Hot.  Temperatures in the 90s will be possible if this verifies.

.

Now, let’s look at temperature anomalies next weekend.  We are in the red next weekend.  Above normal temperatures.  The Mid to upper 80s appears likely.

.

.A heat dome is what some meteorologists call these late spring and summer ridges.

I continue to be concerned about drought this summer.  I know it has been wet.  That can change on a dime.  As we know.

For now, we are looking at the upper 80s and perhaps 90s.  It will come down to the strength of the ridge of high pressure and placement of its core.

.

Let’s compare temperatures.

This weekend (Sunday)

Next Friday’s

We will also have to monitor the chance of thunderstorm complexes that travel along the 588 line.  Typically, these are large thunderstorm complexes.  Mesoscale Convection Systems.

The Storm Prediction Center is already talking about the potential.

The placement will need to be ironed out.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.

What should I take from these?

  1. The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
  2. 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.
