MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

We should finally see some showers on the radar today!

As we watch for those showers, we’ll also be watching for Artemis II at 5:24 this evening! What an exciting day!

Scattered showers and storms today will likely be at about 50% chances. Those chances dwindle down for Thursday and Friday. By Saturday, we’ll see more scattered showers, though Saturday is not looking like a washout.

The BEST chance for rain comes Saturday night. Hopefully we can get that front to clear out of here in time to give us a pretty Easter. Fingers crossed!

It looks like our next frost will come Sunday night! That should be Blackberry winter?

Threat Outlook

Today’s greatest risk for severe threats can be found fro m Texas to Kansas and again from the Ohio Valley to the Mid Atlantic coast. Our high pressure is steering everything around us again.

After coming in like a lamb, March will also go out like a lamb. I’m not sure anyone is complaining about that! (ha)

We’ll see lots of clouds today, along with a chance for a sprinkle or two.

A better chance for showers comes Wednesday, with scattered showers and even a possible t-storm. Thursday looks mostly dry before another 50% chance for scattered shrs/t-storms comes Friday.

The best chance for rain this week may come Saturday night as a cold front passes through. Right now, Easter Sunday is looking drier in the wake of the Saturday night cold frontal passase. I’ll keep a close eye on that Easter forecast.

Threat Outlook

Today’s greatest risk for severe threats can be found across western Oklahoma and again from Illinois to New York state.

A forecast that is unfortunately trending drier…

The good news is that humidity has increased enough today to reduce our wildfire risk, though caution is still advised when doing any outdoor burning (make sure you get that permit!).

The dryer trend to the forecast doesn’t sound good when drought conditions continue to worsen on the plateau. While we still have a chance for a shower on Tuesday, rain chances for Wednesday though Friday have decreased. It is possible that those forecasts could trend drier.

Hopefully there’s enough of the system in tact to give us some decent rainfall on Saturday. I know we don’t want rain on the weekend but with hay fields, budding vegetation, and lowering water tables needing lots of water these days, rain is certainly needed.

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

March winds continue to blow, but today those winds are back to being out of the south.

You could almost get whiplash trying to keep up with which direction the winds have been out of from day to day. (ha) Today, they’re southerly and they’ll be southerly for the next several days. As we all know, southerly winds are bound to bring in warmer temps and moisture and indeed these will do just that!

But we won’t worry about the moisture part of that equation until Tuesday and especially Wednesday and Thursday. We could see some storms but right now nothing too concerning is showing up just yet. I’ll keep an eye on that.

The good news is that we have not frost or freeze conditions to worry about for at least the next week.
