(Updates)MM’s Thurs 5-Day: Watching Rain Chances Today, Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Today is Thursday, August 27, 2026

4:30 Update: There are now more showers/thundershowers firing off in the same place that earlier showers fired off today. The circled area has been more active than any other area of the plateau today! ha

2:40 Update: Skies are beautiful out there this afternoon but clouds are struggling to build vertically! Our 50% chance for shrs may be closer to 30% if things don’t change. Three are some shrs showign up northwest of Nasvhille and earlier shrs try to develop in southeast Cumberland County (those dissipated).

10:55 Update: Tropical Storm Dolly has now formed in the Atlantic. She’s not expected to cause any trouble. The naming is purely coincidental, with these names being determined years in advance.

I’m heading to the Space Coast on Friday to see the August 30 launch of the Roman telescope!

MM’s Wx Analysis

It’s another active weather map in a month that has featured many active weather maps! Today’s greatest risk for severe storms can be found in the Northeast and again in western Nebraska. Our risk for severe storms is very low but a strong storm or two can’t ruled out.

Our drought is looking so much better here at home but that’s not the case for much of the country.
