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.

We should remain dry through Wednesday.
Rain chances increase as we move towards Thursday through Sunday. Some of the rain could be heavy. Questions remain on the potential track of several thunderstorm complexes later this week.
Here is the latest WPC rainfall forecast through Thursday night.
It shows no rain. I can’t rule out some isolated storms Thursday night. Most areas will remain dry.
Here is the latest WPC rainfall forecast through day seven. Most of this falls Saturday and Sunday.

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.
Tuesday through Wednesday: Odds favor no thunderstorm activity.
Thursday through Monday: Several rounds of thunderstorms will be possible. It is MCS season. MCS’s are thunderstorm complexes that typically move into our region from the northwest.
Some of the storms will produce heavy downpours, frequent lightning, small hail, and gusty winds. I can’t rule out severe weather but I will need to see more data before picking one day vs another for stronger thunderstorms. Monitor updates.
Thursday’s storm chances are low.
The greatest chance of rain will be Saturday into Sunday. I will need to monitor Monday.

Weather Headlines
- Nice weather again today into tonight.
- I am monitoring thunderstorm chances as we move into Thursday and Friday.
- Guidance is leaning towards cooler than normal next week.
Monday was a nice day in the region and today will be another one.
Temperatures will rise into the middle 80’s. Dew points will remain fairly low. That means a nice feel to the atmosphere.
We will have nice weather today into Thursday. A slow warming trend each day. A bit more humid each day.
Late Week Rain Chances
A frontal boundary will slip into the region Friday night into Sunday. This boundary will be the focus of showers and thunderstorms.
The greatest thunderstorm chances will be Saturday into Sunday.
There remain questions on how much coverage there will be. If you have outdoor plans Saturday and Sunday then monitor the latest updates. We will have to deal with some storms.
It is a bit early to know if any of the storms will be severe.
There will be plenty of moisture and warm temperatures. That usually means frequent lightning and heavy downpours. Some of the storms will likely have gusty winds, as well.
PWAT’s will be high. That is a measure of moisture. That equals locally heavy rain.
Again, monitor updates moving forward.
GFS model uidance has been trending cooler than normal next week. This will be highly dependent on how far south an area of high pressure pushes from the Great Lakes.
This high pressure will push the ridge further south and east/west. Pushing the ridge out of the area will mean cooler temperatures.
The EC model guidance shows next week as hot and dry. Models differ. I will be monitoring trends.

The first named storm of 2018 is now in the books, so we’re going to be talking with two experts in the area of tropical weather, Max Mayfield, left, and Bryan Norcross, right.
These two hurricane specialists currently work for WPLG in Fort Lauderdale. They both need no introduction. Max Mayfield, former Director of the National Hurricane Center, and Bryan Norcross, Mr. Hurricane who appeared on the show a few months ago when his book came out.
Max was unable to get connected to the hangout.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
- Extremes: 111 at Death Valley, CA, and 28 at Leadville, CO
- Alberto developed in SE Gulf and moved north through Alabama
- Humongous flooding in Ellicott City, MD
- 4 lightning deaths in US this year
