Seven Day Hazardous Weather Outlook
1. Is lightning in the forecast? YES. Lightning is possible Thursday through at least Sunday. Chances could linger into early next week.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? LOW RISK. The tropical system will move into our region Thursday and Friday. The overall risk of damaging wind and tornadoes appears small. Perhaps not zero. I will monitor it and send out app messages if necessary.
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? POSSIBLE. I am tracking a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico. It will move into our region late this week into the weekend. Locally heavy rain is likely along the path of low pressure. Drought conditions could help mitigate flooding issues. With that said, if the rain is heavier than expected then local flash flooding will be possible.
4. Will non-thunderstorm winds top 40 mph? POSSIBLE. Some strong wind gusts are possible Thursday afternoon into Friday night. Overall, it appears most of the wind gusts will be in the 10 to 25 mph range. Locally higher.
5. Will temperatures rise above 100 degrees? NO.
6. Will the heat index (feels like temperature) exceed 100 degrees? NO.
7. Will the heat index (feels like temperature) exceed 110 degrees? NO.
8. Will temperatures drop below 32 degrees? NO.
. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees? NO.
10. Is measurable snow and/or sleet in the forecast? NO.
11. 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.
Wednesday: 5. Medium risk.
Wednesday night: 5. Medium risk.
Thursday: 4. Low risk.
Thursday night: 4. Low risk.
Friday: 3. Very low risk.
Fire Weather Discussion
Use caution with dry vegetation. Some counties have burn bans. Check with your local emergency management office.
Today will feature dry conditions, with increasing cloud cover in the afternoon and evening hours. Relative humidity will range from 25-35% across the region with the driest conditions expected in the north. The remnants of Hurricane Francine will bring widespread heavy rains to the region Thursday through Friday, and scattered showers and storms will linger through the weekend and possibly into next week. Regardless, humidity will remain quite high over the weekend and into next week.
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.

- Hot today with increasing clouds.
- Fire concerns today. Avoid burning brush.
- Thickening clouds Wednesday night and Thursday as Francine moves our way.
- Remnants of Francine will push into our area Thursday into the weekend. Locally heavy rain is likely. Gusty winds. I will monitor the risk of tornadoes, as well.
- The system will stall and die out over our region.
- Temperatures will vary into early next week based on cloud cover.

Beau’s Forecast Discussion
Good day, everyone.
The primary weather concern today will be hot temperatures. We will begin to see clouds thicken as Francine moves towards the Gulf of Mexico.
Francine is now a hurricane. It will continue to strengthen today and tonight.
Morning satellite view of Francine.
Showers and thunderstorms will begin to impact our region tomorrow.
Rain will first arrive over our southern counties. The Missouri Bootheel and western Tennessee. Most likely during the morning hours. Then, the precipitation will spread northward.
Let me show you two models. The Hrrr and the NAM.
The Hrrr holds the bulk of the rain off until mid to late afternoon. The NAM brings rain during the morning hours.
Hrrr model. This model brings the rain into the region early to mid afternoon.
The NAM model. Rain arrives a bit earlier on this model. This is Thursday around mid to late morning.
Here is the NAM model. It shows you the timing. There are differences in some of the model guidance as to timing. Keep that in mind. There could be a few hours difference in how this plays out.
This seems reasonable.
Locally heavy rain will be possible along the path of Francine. Generally, I am forecasting a widespread one to two inches of rain. Then, there will be pockets of greater than two inches.
As always, totals can vary even within one county. Keep that in mind.
Here is the latest WPC/NOAA rainfall outlook.
Paducah, Kentucky NWS comments.
Here are some graphics from the Memphis, Tennessee NWS.
There is a bit higher risk of wind as you travel into the Bootheel and western Tennessee. This is one portion of the forecast that I will keep an eye on. There could be some gusty winds.
Here are some of the ensembles. The GFS and EC ensemble models. This shows you the probability of two or more inches of rain.
GFS model.
EC model
This is our best chance of a soaking rain (widespread) in quite some time. Over a month. Remember, some counties have received little or no rainfall over the past five to seven weeks.
Gusty winds may accompany the system. At this time, I am forecasting 10 to 20 mph winds with gusts up to 25 mph. Some data shows 30 to 35 mph gusts over lakes and flatlands.
As far as the risk of tornadoes on the east northeast side of the low, it appears to be low, but perhaps not zero. The last tropical system produced several tornadoes in our region.
The conditions don’t appear all that favorable for tornadoes, but I will need to keep a close eye on it. I can’t rule out isolated issues. Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather App.
Most tropical storm/hurricane tornadoes occur on the east northeast side of the low pressure center.
At this time, the Storm Prediction Center has not outlined our region for severe storms. I will keep an eye on Thursday night into Friday evening. The SPC said they believe the tornado risk Friday is low.
The Paducah, Kentucky NWS has said that they believe the risk is low, as well.
I will keep an eye on it and send out app messages if the forecast changes.
I do expect the system to wind down and weaken over our region. Steering currents are weak.
Showers may linger into Saturday, Sunday, and perhaps even Monday. Activity won’t be as widespread Saturday through Monday. Scattered showers and perhaps some thunderstorms.
Peak timing will be during the heat of the day. Afternoon and evening hours. Activity will likely wane at night. I have chances in the 20% to 40% range Saturday through Monday.
If you have outdoor activities, then monitor updates and radars.

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.
