Seven Day Hazardous Weather Outlook

1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Lightning is likely today into Wednesday night.

2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? YES. A few of the thunderstorms this morning could be severe. A line of storms will approach southeast Missouri this morning. It will then move east southeast. We will have to monitor the intensity of the storms. Some could be severe. Overall, this is a lower end risk. See graphics below.

A significant severe weather threat will develop Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday night. Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms with damaging wind, hail, and tornadoes will be possible. Monitor updates.

There remain questions about Tuesday’s event. Morning clouds and ongoing showers and storms could interfere with the afternoon development.

I am more confident about a severe weather outbreak Wednesday late morning into Wednesday night. Damaging wind, very large hail, and even strong tornadoes will be possible.

3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? MONITOR. Locally heavy rain will be possible over the coming days. Slow moving storms could produce heavy rain with pockets of flash flooding.

4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? LOW RISK. Winds will gust above 30 mph Tuesday and Wednesday. I will keep an eye on it.

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: 4. Low risk.
Wednesday: 4. Low risk.
Wednesday night: 3. Very low risk.

Fire Weather Discussion

Daily chances of showers and storms are expected through Wednesday, before drier and cooler weather moves in late week. Small rain chances return for parts of the area over the weekend. Severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon and evening, with an even greater potential Wednesday afternoon and evening. Southerly winds increase on Tuesday with gusts of 25 to 30 mph. Winds switch around to westerly by Thursday and remain strong with 25 to 30 mph gusts continuing.

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.

Tuesday Forecast: A mix of sun and clouds. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be severe early Tuesday morning over mainly southeast Missouri, but we will need to monitor IL, KY, and TN, as well.

We will also be monitoring the risk of severe weather Tuesday/Tuesday night. Part of that will depend on what happens Tuesday morning. If we have a lot of clouds and ongoing showers and thunderstorms, then that would lessen the instability levels. That could keep severe chances lower. There remain questions about this. Thus, monitor updates concerning the threat of severe thunderstorms.

Weather advice:

Do you have any suggestions or comments? Email me at beaudodson@usawx.com

Make sure you have three to five ways of receiving your severe weather information.

Weather Talk is one of those ways.

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

We also have a new service to compliment 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 in a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning. It only calls you if your home is inside the warning polygon. If you are outside the polygon it will not disturb you.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion

A busy period of weather ahead of us. Let’s break it down.

This morning:

A line of severe thunderstorms has been moving through southeast Missouri. The line was advancing towards the Mississippi River as of 5 am.

Here is what radar looked like early this morning. A line of intense storms moving eastward (weakening with time)

The line will continue to move eastward. Some of the storms could produce damaging wind and hail. A short lived tornado threat, as well.

With time, we expect this line of storms to wash out or weaken. That will happen as it moves into southern Illinois, western Kentucky, and northwest Tennessee. We will need to monitor it for additional warnings (even into those areas).

This afternoon and evening:

There are questions about whether the atmosphere will recover from this morning’s activity. Often times, these big lines of storms will produce so many clouds that they keep the atmosphere calmer.

If we see some clearing today, then the atmosphere would rapidly destabilize. I will be closely monitoring this. Model data is mixed on the idea of whether we see destabilization.

The area of greatest concern will likely be southeast Illinois, western Kentucky, and northwest Tennessee. A lower severe weather risk over southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois (this afternoon and evening).

Most models do show at least a few showers and thunderstorms redeveloping this afternoon and tonight. If storms do redevelop, then they could produce 60 mph winds or greater, quarter size hail or larger, and a tornado.

The Storm Prediction Center has hatched portions of our region. Mainly portions of northwest Kentucky. Hatched means a few higher end reports of severe weather will be possible.

See the severe weather outlooks farther down in the blog.

Tonight

Evening thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, with time will wane and weaken. That will leave most of tonight quiet. A lull in the activity

This will allow the atmosphere to recharge tonight and tomorrow morning. That sets the stage for a potential severe weather outbreak Wednesday and Wednesday night.

Wednesday and Wednesday night

Severe Weather Outbreak Likely

A volatile weather forecast continues to develop for Wednesday and Wednesday night. All the ingredients are coming together for an outbreak of severe thunderstorms with damaging wind, very large hail, and tornadoes. A few of the tornadoes could be significant, as well.

I would advise everyone to monitor updated forecasts Wednesday and Wednesday night.

Have three to five ways of receiving your severe weather information. Make sure you are paying attention.

Multiple rounds of storms will be possible. Some counties could be impacted by more than one severe thunderstorm or tornado warning.

Meteorologists are concerned about Wednesday’s weather forecast. All signals are there for severe storms and the likelihood for one or more severe thunderstorm and/or tornado watches and warnings is very high.

I will be closely monitoring the warm front Wednesday. Soupy air will develop south of the warm front.

You can see that on this animation of dew points. Dew points are a measure of moisture. Dew points in the purple is the soupy air. Dews in the 70s. Summer air.

Dew point animation for Wednesday (purple is soupy air)

CAPE is energy that storms tap into to become severe. You can see on this animation how CAPE builds Wednesday to very high levels. All those orange and red colors represent a lot of energy.

Looping the CAPE.

Thursday through Sunday

Quieter weather will develop Thursday into Sunday. There will be a low end shower and thunderstorm chance each day. But, I will cap chances at 10 to 20%. Most of the area will simply remain dry and I would certainly not change any activities.

It will be cooler Thursday into next week with below average temperatures. It will feel more like spring than early summer!

—-> 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.
