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 my personal attention during significant weather events.

 

 

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

 

These are bonus videos and maps for subscribers.  I bring these to you from the BAMwx team. I pay them to help with videos.

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.

Here is the latest WPC/NOAA rainfall outlook.

This graphic will take us through next Monday morning.

 

The WPC/NOAA has painted fairly light totals.  The big question locally will be the placement of a cold front later this week.

Before that time, we will have a few showers and thunderstorms today into Thursday.  Many areas will remain dry.  Perhaps a bit more coverage over western Kentucky and Tennessee late tonight into Tuesday.  See probability numbers above.

Medium confidence in the precipitation forecast.

Notice the heavy band of rain from Texas into Wisconsin.  That is in response to a frontal boundary and tropical moisture.  Most of the model guidance keeps this heavy rain to our northwest.

We do not need rain.  Well, most of us don’t need rain.

Here is the latest 60-day precipitation anomaly.  Well above normal across portions of the region.

Click to enlarge.

You can see Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee (black outlines)

 

 

Here are the NWS radar estimates of rainfall from September 1st through the 30th.

Click to enlarge.   Look at some of those totals!  Much of that fell the second half of the month.

 

 

Well above normal precipitation was recorded at the Weather Observatory in Massac County, Illinois.

It rained twelve days out of thirty.

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.

 

Today through Thursday:  A few thunderstorms will be possible into Thursday.  This will be in response to a weak vort max (area of lift) moving out of northeast Texas and Oklahoma.  Another weak disturbance will pass through the region during the middle of the week.

Severe weather is not anticipated.

Friday through Sunday:  Severe weather is not anticipated.  A cold front will approach the region Friday night into Saturday night.  This front could set off a few thunderstorms.  Lightning will be the concern.

Graphics have been updated.  Monday morning at 8 AM

I had a great vacation!  I came back re-energized and ready for the fall severe weather uptick and then winter!

We typically do have severe storms during October and November.  Some of our deadlier tornado events have actually occurred during these two months.  I will keep an eye on the charts as we change seasons.

I found this image online.  Just to give you an example.  This is for the State of Arkansas.  The same applies locally.  An uptick in severe weather is not uncommon during the autumn months.

 

 

The week ahead.

 

 

The big weather story this week will be the warm and humid weather.  Well above normal temperatures.

I am closely monitoring a cold front that will attempt to push into the region Friday into Monday.  It will battle the high-pressure center to our southeast.

 

 

 

A warm week of weather ahead of us.  Today into Wednesday will likely be the warmest days.  Clouds today could keep temperatures down a bit.  Expect lower to middle 80’s across the region.  This is several degrees above the normal high temperature of 78 degrees.

Here is the temperature anomaly map for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Well above normal.

This shows you how many degrees above normal temperatures are expected to be.

 

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

 

If you are tired of the warm weather, then you could travel to North Dakota.  This was the scene yesterday.  Snow!

 

 

A weak storm system will pass through the region Monday.  This will deliver some clouds and perhaps a couple of showers or thunderstorms.  Overall, it appears most of us will miss the rain showers.

You can see that system on the NAM model.  This shows you an area of lift.  I circled it in white.

 

 

The system will push off to the north and northeast Monday night.

Tuesday, another weak system could bring a few more showers and thunderstorms.  Again, most of the region will remain dry.

Another disturbance will pass through the region Wednesday and Thursday.  A few showers and thunderstorms will form along a boundary.  There remain some questions about the placement of the boundary.  It is possible that the greatest chance will be across our northern counties.  Northern portions of southeast Missouri and northern portions of southern Illinois.

 

A late week cold front.  It may stall to our northwest.

Low to medium confidence in the Friday night into Monday weather outlook.

A cold front will attempt to push into the region late this week.  It appears that the front will not make it into our local area.

The front may be close enough to cause an increase in rain and thunderstorm chances Friday night into Sunday.  The odds would favor our western and northern counties.  That would run from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, towards Mt Vernon, Illinois.  Even there, there are questions about whether the front will be close enough to spark precipitation.  For now, I kept rain chances low.  I will continue to monitor trends.

Some of the models show no rain Friday night into Saturday.  I would not make any changes to your weekend plans, just yet.

No solid cold shots in the forecast (through Tuesday).

Severe weather is not anticipated this week.  As always, monitor updates.  A few lightning strikes are possible.

The Candian model is showing high PWAT values training over the same areas this week.  That would mostly be to our west and northwest.

It is tapping into very high PWAT values from the hurricane in the Pacific and then a large feed from the Gulf of Mexico.  This needs to be monitored.  It would spell heavy rain for some areas.

What are PWAT’s?

 

 

Click to enlarge the animati0n.  You are looking at PWAT values.

The placement of the front boundary late this week into next week will be key to where the heavy rain occurs.

Odds favor the heaviest rain remaining to our west and northwest.

This is the Monday updated map.  Notice the tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico.  THat will need to be monitored, as well.

The higher PWAT values are showing in purple and pink.

 

 

All of the models are showing a heavy band of rain in the Central United States.

Odds favor it running from Texas into Wisconsin.

Here are some examples

The Canadian model

 

 

The GFS model

 

 

The EC model

Notice that it keeps much of our region dry or mostly dry through Monday evening.

 

 

Let’s look at some ensembles.

 

 

EC ensemble mean shows the heaviest rain staying to our west and northwest.  This is through Monday evening.

Keep in mind, it does show at least some rain in our region.  Totals would be on the low side.

 

 

GFS ensembles
