Today through July 31st: If thunderstorms form today, then they could be severe. Monitor updates. There is a low-end risk of severe weather next Monday and Tuesday along a weak cold front. Damaging wind will be the primary concern.
.
.
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 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
The primary concern remains the heat. See above.
A couple of thunderstorm chances over the next seven days.
A weak cold front will push into the region today. This front will be the focal point of convergence. Air meeting. This will cause some lift.
There is a lot of debate about whether thunderstorms will develop. I added thunderstorm chances.
The primary time-frame of concern will be 3 PM to 10 PM. If thunderstorms form, then they could produce damaging wind, hail, heavy rain, and lightning. A few severe thunderstorm warnings will be possible.
There is no shortage of energy during the summer months. Thunderstorms tap into that energy and can produce wind damage. Downburst winds.
Let’s keep an eye on radars later today.
Another cold front will push into the region late Sunday night into Tuesday of next week. This is a weak front. Additional storms will be possible.
Once again, thunderstorms that form could be intense.
The front will wash out or disappear by next Tuesday night/Wednesday. Some boundaries could remain in the area. If that occurs, then a couple of thunderstorms could redevelop during the heat of the day Wednesday.
I am closely watching the end of the month and first few days of August for a break in the pattern. Long way off and confidence, of course, isn’t great.
September isn’t far off. Autumn will eventually arrive. I know we are tired of the heat.
Let’s compare this current drought to the one in 2012. Several of you have asked.
The 2012 drought was much more intense/severe. It was widespread.

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.
