Beau Dodson's WeatherTalk Blog

June 13, 2018: Non-subscriber update. Summer weather pattern.

WeatherTalk monthly operating costs can top $2000.00.  Your $3 subscription helps pay for those costs.  I work for you.

For $3 a month you can receive the following.  You may choose to receive these via your WeatherTalk app or regular text messaging.

  1.  Severe weather app/text alerts from my keyboard to your app/cell phone.  These are hand typed by Beau.   During tornado outbreaks, you will receive numerous app/text messages telling you exactly where the tornado is located.
  2.  Daily forecast app/texts from my computer to your app/cell phone.
  3.  Social media links sent directly to your app/cell phone.  When I update the blog, videos, or Facebook you will receive the link.
  4.  AWARE emails.  These emails keep you well ahead of the storm. They give you several days of lead time before significant weather events.
  5.  Direct access to Beau via text and email.  Your very own personal meteorologist.  I work for you!
  6.  Missouri and Ohio Valley centered video updates
  7.  Long-range weather videos
  8.  Week one, two, three and four temperature and precipitation outlooks.
  9.  Monthly outlooks.
  10.  Your subscription also will help support several local charities.

Example of a recent severe weather alert.  I issued this well before the official tornado warning.  You would have had plenty of time for you and your family to seek shelter.

 

 

 

Your $3 per month also helps support these local charity projects.

 

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.

 

 

WWW.WEATHERTALK.COM subscribers, here is my day to day schedule for your weather products.

 

 

 

We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars.   If a radar does not update then try another one.  If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5.  You may also try restarting your browser.

A stalled front will remain in the region over the coming days.

If we have thunderstorms, the best chance would be today and this evening.  Chances decrease Thursday through Sunday.  Isolated storms, if any, during that time frame.

Here is the latest WPC / NOAA rainfall forecast.

We are in a summer pattern.  That means a WIDE range of rainfall totals (even within the same county).

This graphic will not cover those wild swings in rainfall totals that occur from locally heavy thunderstorms.

This first map is through Sunday night.  As you can see, not a lot of rain.  Again, thunderstorms will produce MUCH higher totals.

 

 

This next image is the WPC 7 day rainfall totals.  It picks up a bit as we move into next week.  Again, thunderstorms will produce higher totals than shown on this map.

Thunderstorm activity should increase again next week as the ridge of high pressure weakens.

The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one that produces quarter size hail or larger, 58 mph winds or greater, and/or a  tornado.

 

Wednesday through Sunday:  A few strong thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into this evening.  Coverage is forecast to be more isolated than yesterday’s event.

I am expecting less thunderstorm coverage as we push through the week.

Where storms occur there will be heavy rain, gusty winds, small hail, and frequent cloud to ground lightning.  At this time, organized severe weather appears unlikely.   Monitor updates.

The risk of severe thunderstorms is low.  Isolated severe storm concerns.

Weather Headlines

  1. Hot and muggy weather into next week.
  2. Back door cold front Thursday could mean somewhat cooler air for our northeast counties.
  3. Thunderstorm chances will be less than 10% Thursday through Sunday.
  4. Heat index values of 96 to 104 Thursday into Sunday.

 

Hot weather will be with us into the weekend.

Daily highs will be in the 90’s and overnight lows in the 70’s. Next index values will range from 96 to 104 degrees.

There is one brief reprieve.

A cold front will push southwest into the region late Wednesday night and Thursday.  That means somewhat cooler and drier air for our northeast counties.  That would include portions of southeast Illinois and northwest Kentucky.

Most of us, however, will not feel this drier air and will remain hot and muggy.

Notice on the GFS model how a portion of the region is cooler Thursday.  Just not sure I buy into this.

We will see.  Perhaps a few degrees cooler.  This seems way overdone to me.

 

 

Otherwise, a typical summer pattern is underway.

We will have a chance of scattered storms today.  Shower and thunderstorm chances decrease considerably as we move into Thursday through Sunday.  Rain chances will drift below 10%.

Looking ahead to next week.

Very high PWAT values are forecast to push into the region next week.  Thunderstorms that form next week will be prolific rain producers.  We will have to keep a close eye on thunderstorm complexes that form around the edge of a center of high pressure.

These thunderstorm complexes, also called MCS’s, could produce very heavy rain for portions of the region.

Much like this week, some areas will receive inches of rain and some areas will receive very little rain.

It is still a bit early to know details on next weeks thunderstorm chances.

Here is the PWAT value animation for Monday through Wednesday.  This is the GFS model.

The GFS is showing numbers north of two inches.  That is considered extreme for PWAT values.

 

 

 

Senior citizens, young children, and those working outside will have to deal with high heat index values over the coming days.  Especially true Friday into Sunday.

 

 

Do you know the symptoms of heat related illness?

 

 

Also, don’t forget our outdoor friends.

 

 

The preliminary July forecast has been updated.  The heat will likely be the big story.

I bring these to you from the BAMwx team.  I pay them to help with videos.  They have a great team of meteorologists.  The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area.  They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.

The long-range video is technical.  Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video.  Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

WeatherBrains Episode 647

WeatherBrains Episode 647 is now online (June 11, 2018).

If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

This week’s Guest WeatherBrain is a Philom. We will find out exactly what that means in a moment. He is the seventh editor of Farmers’ Almanac, which is significant, given that it was founded in 1818. Peter Geiger, welcome to WeatherBrains!

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

Sun spot cycles
Tropical disturbance in the Caribbean
Meaning of the word “Philom”
Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice
and more!

We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars.   If a radar does not update then try another one.  If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5.  You may also try restarting your browser.

The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.

During the winter months, you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.

Did you know that a portion of your monthly subscription helps support local charity projects?

You can learn more about those projects by visiting the Shadow Angel Foundation website and the Beau Dodson News website.

I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging.  We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather.  The app typically will receive the messages instantly.  I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated.  You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.
