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.

Weather Discussion
Good day, everyone.
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Yes, it is a bit hot and humid. Summer lingers.
Meteorological autumn begins September 1st. Cooler weather won’t be far behind. We need to hang on a bit longer. I know it has been a long summer with the heat and muggy air.
It won’t be long until someone is complaining about how cold it is.
A weak upper level disturbance is pushing across the region today and tonight. This will trigger a few showers and thunderstorms. The bulk of the region will remain dry. A few spots will receive much needed rainfall.
It will be hot and muggy today.
A stronger disturbance will push into the region Monday and Monday night. This is the main disturbance that we have been talking about for several days.
This upper level system will trigger showers and thunderstorms. Once again, not everyone will receive measurable rain.
Some locations will receive more than 0.50″. Others will receive little or no rainfall. Same as recent weeks and months.
A few storms will produce gusty wind, lightning, and heavy downpours.
Our highest rain chances between now and Saturday will be tomorrow (Monday).
A few showers and thunderstorms will linger into Tuesday. Overall, the coverage will be decreasing.
By Tuesday night, rain chances will be diminishing.
Cooler and less humid air will arrive Tuesday night into the upcoming weekend. That is the good news for those who are tired of the heat and humidity.
I will monitor Saturday and Sunday for an isolated thunderstorm. For now, confidence in that happening is low.
There are some signals that the Atlantic may finally be waking up. I am tracking a few tropical waves. We will have to see if any of those turn into tropical storms or hurricanes.
A land-falling Gulf of Mexico system could be a way that our region receives widespread rain. We will just have to wait and see if something develops and then track it.
Just a few more days until meteorological autumn begins! Meteorologists are a bit strange. We measure seasons a bit differently. We consider September, October, and November to be autumn.
As a reminder, we typically see an uptick in tornado activity from mid-October through the end of November. Some of our deadlier outbreaks have occurred during the autumn and winter months.

Let’s keep that in the back of our mind. The weather will become increasingly active as we push deeper into the autumn months.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.
What should I take from these?
- The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
- 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.
