(Updates) MM’s Sat 5-Day: Cooler/Wetter Today, Hotter/Drier Tomorrow

Today is Saturday, September 12, 2026

4:08 Update: As storms move east and encounter the rain-cooled air of the plateau, they are weakening somewhat. Still, some of them could become strong. The forecast remains on track. Shrs and storms should be over by 6:00 pm.

2:30 Update: The forecast is on track, with declining rain chances as we go through the evening. HOWEVER, isolated to scattered storms will continue into the evening. The breaks in the clouds could be enough to destabilize the atmosphere enough for strong or even an isolated severe storm. I’ll keep an eye on that.

Yesterday’s Storm Reports

Thankfully, the severe storms in Minnesota under performed. There were severe storms (I’ve seen some impressive chaser videos) but they didn’t have it as bad as it had looked like they would.

Radar-Estimated Precip from Yesterday

I was wishing I had stuck with 30% for Friday, rather than 50%. Notice how rain nearly encircled Middle and East TN! ha Our high pressure held on for one more day, after all.

Coming soon! Stay tuned!

(Updates) MM’s Fri 5-Day: Rain & Storm Chances Increasing

Today is Friday, September 11, 2026

4:55 Update: We’ve not seen too much on radar yet, but that could still change rather drastically in a short period of time. There is an abundance of rain and storms coming up from the south that will be here later in the evening. Just look at the radar toward northern Alabama and you’ll know what I mean. ha

MM’s Wx Analysis

High pressure has lost its control of the Southeast and that is opening the door for frontal boundaries to move through the region once again. These fronts will bring scattered showers and storms to a large portion of the central and eastern U.S. through the weekend and into next week.

The most active weather today can be found across northern Minnesota, where very large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding, and tornadoes are all possible today. It’s a very active weather day for those folks!

MM’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Launch Experience

I hope you all lend me a few minutes to share my Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope experience with you. It’s an experience I will never forget and I can’t wait to see what comes next! I have a YouTube video for those who would rather listen than read. I sure hope you all enjoy!

Don’t forget, I’ll be headed back down there for the launch of the Crew 13 mission! The launch is delayed due to a leak in the Orion capsule (the capsule they ride in). A new launch date should be named soon. I’ll keep you posted!

(Update) MM’s Thurs 5-Day: Rain & Storm Chances Increasing

Today is Thursday, September 10, 2026

2:55 Update: The Storm Prediction Center circled an area of interest that includes part of the plateau (seen below). They are monitoring storms this afternoon but they have stated that they do not anticipate issuing a severe t-storm watch. This just shows that storms are firing this afternoon around the region and any storm could be strong.

MM’s Wx Analysis

The high pressure that has barely been in control of our area has just about lost its grip completely. That will allow frontal systems to once again move closer to our area, providing multiple chances for showers and storms over the next week. As with most September patterns, the upper level flow is rather sluggish, keeping severe storm chances low across the country through the weekend.
