MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

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

After a very chilly morning, we’ll warm things up by this afternoon!

Rain chances, unfortunately, look dismal over the next five days. However, the middle of next week should offer much better rain chances, so long as guidance doesn’t trend drier like it has for nearly every system we’ve had this spring. After looking at this morning’s latest guidance, don’t be surprised if that happens again this time.

The bigger story by Sunday will be the increasing heat. Get ready for a good taste of summer.

It’s a chilly night out there! Friday morning temps will likely be in the upper 30s across the plateau. I don’t think we’ll have any frost, as we should be just warm enough to keep from having that. However, I wouldn’t be shocked to hear of isolated reports of it.

This should be our last cool night for a long time, and it may very well be the last night in the 30s until fall. If you enjoy these really cool nights, be sure to enjoy this one! It may many months before we see a night this cool again. It’s hard to believe that May is almost half over!

You all have a pleasant night and take care! I’ll see ya in the morning with the updated forecast!

MM’s Level of Concern

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

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

The drought monitor updated today and drought continues to expand across the area.

We won’t add any rain today, but it will be a very pleasant Thursday.

Another slight risk for a shower or storm comes Friday and Saturday but those precip chances have been slowly trending drier.

By Sunday, the heat cranks up and by Monday we’re near 90°. There are indications that the the middle to end of next week will be wetter. We’ll sure hope so!

Threat Outlook for the Plateau

Storm Prediction Center Severe Storm Threats

Today’s severe storm threat is greatest in Kansas, where primarily a wind and hail threat exist.

Yesterday’s Storm Reports

It was a very active day for severe storms from Utah to Montana! I’m not sure I have ever seen such an active day in that part of the country. Pennsylvania and West Virginia had a rather active day, as well.

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

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

We have our fingers crossed for an isolated shower or storm today, as severe to extreme drought continues on the plateau.

The airmass behind this system will give us a very pleasant Thursday. Get outside if you can!

Another slight risk for a shower or storm comes Friday, followed by a slightly better chance Saturday. Precip chances end and temps soar for Sunday and Monday. There are indications that rain chances may begin increasing again by Tuesday.
