The NWS officially defines a severe thunderstorm as a storm with 58 mph wind or greater, 1″ hail or larger, and/or tornadoes
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? Monitor. Summer thunderstorms can produce torrential rain, which can quickly flood roadways and ditches.
4. Will the heat index exceed 100 degrees? Yes. Today into the weekend. Peak days being Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Expect 100 to 115 degrees on those days. It is possible Monday will be slightly cooler. This will depend on the placement of the cold front.
5. Is measurable snow or ice in the forecast? No.
6. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees? No.

Today through July 31st: I am monitoring next week. Thunderstorms are possible. Summer thunderstorms can produce damaging wind gusts. Monitor updates.
.
.
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.
The black outline is our local area.

Weather Discussion
-
- Heat remains the primary weather story.
- Use care if you must work outside this week.
- Don’t forget the outdoor animals. Change water bowls.
- Thunderstorm chances next week.
.
Weather advice:
Deadly heat this week and likely into next week.
It isn’t often I use the word deadly. With that said, over the last few weeks, several of our area residents have died from heat stroke. We don’t even have tornado deaths every year. So it is important to remember that heat is our number one weather killer.
Yes, it’s summer. We were due a hot and dry summer. 2012 and 2016 were the latest intense summers. 2012 being an exception drought year. Summer can be hot. We know this.
The Paducah, KY, NWS has a web page related to heat safety. Some of the signs of heat related illness might surprise you. https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat
Summer heat can be dangerous. Several of my friends were sent to the hospital over the past few weeks with heat related illnesses. It can happen to you.
Thus, this is a reminder to use care. Take breaks. Hydrate. Avoid the hottest portion of the days.
Elderly residents are trying (like everyone) to save on excessive air condition bills. They may be less likely to use their air condition. Check on elderly residents and the young.
Don’t forget heat compounds. With each passing extreme heat day, the chances of heat related illness rises.
Don’t forget our outdoor pets. They can also have heat stroke. Change water bowls frequently.
Peak heat days will be today, tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Actual air temperatures well into the 90s with some reporting stations above 100 degrees.
Heat index values of 100 to 110 degrees. Isolated 110 to 120 degree readings are possible. Remember, your body responds to the heat index and not the air temperature. The heat index is more important to your body vs the actual air temperature. Same as wind chill values and frost bite.
The pattern appears locked in for several more weeks. Periodic thunderstorm chances (same as recent weeks) will still occur.
Make sure you are using the Beau Dodson Weather Talk app and not text messages. We can’t rely on Verizon and ATT to send out the text messages in a timely manner. Thus, we made the app. See links at the bottom of the page.

Forecast Discussion
Here was yesterday’s heat advisories.
Now check out today’s.
You can see the cold front has smacked the extreme heat further south. That is the good news for today.
.
Some locations picked up buckets of rain yesterday/last night. In particular was a severe thunderstorm that impacted Union, Alexander, and Pulaski Counties.
Some small locations received 2 to 3.5″ of rain! Crazy, right?
The storm was a supercell thunderstorm. It produced a wall cloud and a funnel cloud in extreme southern Illinois.
This is what a supercell thunderstorm looks like. Thankfully, we didn’t have more wind shear (wind aloft). Had we had wind shear then it would have produced a tornado. Probably would have only taken 10 to 20 mph more of wind shear. It was close!
I did some screen grabs of the storm. Here they are.
You can see the hook on the left. That is where the wall cloud was and a brief funnel cloud. The image on the right shows wind shear. The red and green is where the wind is rotating.
The storm remained over the same area for about two hours. The storm cell then slid southward and once we lost the heating of the sun, the storm weakened.
A couple of other storms impacted southeast Illinois and northwest Kentucky.
The bulk of the region remained dry. About what was expected. Again, feast or famine weather. Someone ends up with inches of rain. Others have dust.
Summer!
The good news is that heat index values won’t be as extreme today.
Yesterday was horrible. Let’s look back at the numbers. If you thought it was hot, then you would be right.
Some locations recorded heat index values in the 115 to 125 degree range. Insane.
Dew point readings were oppressive. Dew point is a measure of moisture. It is what makes it feel muggy outside.
Meteorologist Jim Rasor posted this
.
Heat Returns
Heat index values will again rise above 100 degrees Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and perhaps Monday.
Excessive heat is likely this weekend. Dangerous/deadly heat.
Actual air temperatures will rise into the 96 to 102 degree range. Perhaps some of the hottest days of the summer, thus far. Air temperature-wise.
We will have to see if heat index values can again crawl into the 120s in some counties. It is possible.
The GREAT news is this graphic below.
There are indications that next week could deliver several chances of widespread showers and thunderstorms. Above average rainfall. This would be WELCOME news for many locations.
Rain totals will exceed two inches in some counties. A few storms could be severe, as well.
This could be the first time this summer we have had a pattern shift like this. That would mean multiple days with rain chances. Thunderstorm chances.
Of course, the rain could be locally heavy with plenty of moisture around.
Updated drought maps shows improvement of much of southern Illinois. Worsening conditions over portions of Missouri and Kentucky.

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.
