.

Fire weather risk level.

Friday night: 4.  Low risk.
Saturday: 2.  Very low risk.
Saturday night: 2.  Very low risk.
Sunday: 3.  Very low risk.

Fire Weather Discussion

High pressure will allow for dry conditions today with minRH values falling to 40-45% this afternoon. Smoke dispersion will be poor with mixing heights around 2 kft AGL. A weather system will then bring the chance of a wetting rain Saturday into Sunday. Locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of western Kentucky Saturday night into Sunday morning. Rainfall totals will range from a half inch to 1 to 2 inches across the region. Smoke dispersion on Saturday will be poor again with even lower mixing heights around 1 kft AGL.

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.

Weather Highlights and Forecast Discussion

    1.    Above average temperatures to continue.  Odd weather.
    2.    Rain chances ramp up tomorrow into Sunday.
    3.    Watching another front towards the middle of next week.
    4.    No true cold air in the charts.

 

Weather advice:

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

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are having a nice week.

Today will deliver a mix of sun and clouds.  It will be dry today.

The dry weather won’t last long.

Our next storm system arrives late tonight into Sunday.  We will have increasing showers and thunderstorms as we move deeper into Friday night and especially Saturday and Saturday night/Sunday morning.  Precipitation will taper Sunday mid-morning into Sunday night.

Let’s look at rainfall totals.

For today through 6 AM Sunday

 

Today through Monday.

Notice the sharp difference from northwest to southeast.  Most of this will fall Saturday into Sunday morning.

Lower totals northwest.  Higher totals southeast.

Let’s look at the Hrrr and NAM 3K future-cast radars.  What radar might look like over the next couple of days.

Time stamp is in Zulu.  12z=6 am. 18z=12 pm/ 00z=7 pm. 06z=12 am.

Double click to enlarge.  Hrrr model.

NAM 3K model

Another storm system is likely to impact the region towards the middle of next week.

The EC model shows that

There is no true cold air in the short-term charts.  Perhaps cooler behind the front next week, but charts don’t show anything extreme or significant.

So, next Thursday into Saturday could be closer to seasonal norms.  Data then warms us up again.

Occasionally, the charts show colder air in week two.  The charts have shown cold air in week two for weeks.  Then, as we draw closer to that time, it ends up warm.  Thus, I don’t believe anything past week one.  I will monitor trends in week two.

Today’s Storm Prediction Center’s (SPC) Severe Weather Outlook

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 or larger size hail, and/or a tornado.

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 computer model data.  Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather.

Occasionally, these maps are in Zulu time.  12z=7 AM.  18z=1  PM.  00z=7 PM. 06z=1  AM

Green represents light rain.  Dark green represents moderate rain.  Yellow and orange represent heavier rain.
