🌪️ Seven-Day Tornado Outlook ⛈️

October 3rd through October 9th

Current risk:  NO

Current confidence level: High confidence in the forecast.

Comments:   Tornadoes are not in the forecast.

Here is your bus stop forecast.

This afternoon

. 

Temperatures will remain warm into Monday.  Well above average temperatures today and above average temperatures tomorrow through Monday.

It will turn cooler by next Tuesday and Wednesday (behind a cold front).

Average highs for this time of the year are around 77 degrees.  Average lows are around 53 degrees.

I am monitoring Sunday night into Tuesday night for a few showers and thunderstorms.  Wednesday is trending dry.

As mentioned above, a cold front is expected to move into the region next Tuesday and Wednesday.  This will bring cooler air.  See the temperature graphics below.

Here is the temperature anomaly graphic for the middle of next week.  Blue indicates below-average temperatures.

Yesterday’s graphic was more impressive.  It had a larger area of cooler air.

The models keep swinging back and forth.  The theme remains.  It will be somewhat cooler towards the middle of next week.

Guidance has about a +5 to -5 degree difference in highs and lows.  That does raise some questions as to just how cool it will be.

For now, I have held steady with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s.

.

I’m not sure how long the cool air will last, but at least for a few days.

Some data shows a second cold front around October 11th to 14th.

Here is what the ensembles are showing for high and low temperatures.

Long-range EC ensembles temperatures.  We do eventually drop into the seventies.  That will be closer to seasonal averages.

Perhaps even a few days of below-average temperatures!

I chose Marion, Illinois, as a central location for the region.

.

.

Here is the GEFS model.  The two models are similar.  Perhaps it will feel a bit more like autumn!

We have a new service to complement your www.weathertalk.com subscription.  This does NOTreplace 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 under a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning.  It only calls you ifyour home is inside the warning box/polygon. If you are outside the warning box/polygon it will not disturb you.

Here is a video with more information and a demonstration of how it works.
