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!
Another summer-like day is in store for us! Stay safe in the afternoon heat.
While we can’t completely rule out an isolated shower or storm today, I think Tuesday will bring a few showers and storms to the plateau.
Then, we see a wet pattern evolve and it’s in no hurry to leave! Elevated rain chances will be with us for several days, starting on Wednesday. Even next weekend is looking wet. We need the rain for this drought, so we’ll hope we get it!

Threat Outlook for the Plateau
Storm Prediction Center Severe Storm Threats
A dangerous day of severe weather is expected across Kansas today. That’s where the worst of this severe weather outbreak is expected to focus, as can be seen by the moderate risk issued there. Other threats stretch from Oklahoma to Michigan.
