48-Hour Weather
Threats
Indications are that we may see one or two complexes of storms move our way from the plains early next week. The threat from those would be damaging winds. I’ll keep an eye on that. Otherwise, no widespread severe weather is expected through at least Sunday.
Baldwin’s Severe Weather Concern
The isolated and short-lived nature of any storm keeps my concern on the low side of the scale.
As our next storm system approaches early next week, we may see some isolated severe storms across the plateau. There are also indications that we may see one or two complexes of storms develop on the plains and move our way during this period. If that evolves, my concern will increase, owing to an increased risk for damaging winds. I’ll keep an eye on that.
Baldwin’s 7-Day forecast
Daily Forecast
Today: Partly cloudy with only a very slight chance for an afternoon/evening shower or storm.
Thursday: Partly cloudy with a slightly better chance for a storm.
Friday – Sunday: Partly cloudy and warming up! Only slight chances for an afternoon/evening storm.
Monday – Tuesday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon/evening.
Baldwin’s Hay Day Forecast
Today is still looking great! I did have to change Thursday’s outlook to half a hay bale, though, due to a bit of an increased risk for an afternoon/evening shower or storm. The morning is still looking good!
The other change was to make Sunday a good hay day. The next system has slowed down a bit and it now looks like the better rain chances will hold off until Monday. Be aware that Tuesday may become a “red X day” in future outlooks, if rain chances continue to increase for that time period.

Tropics
The only thing being watched right now is a weak system near the northern coast of South America. It has a 10% chance of becoming a storm. More than likely, unfavorable environmental conditions will be the death of this little system.

You all have a great day!
