MM’s Weather Worries

This will be the first event where I get to try out the new MM Concern Meter! See how my concern changes throughout the day!

MM’s Wx Analysis

An unseasonably strong storm system (more like a late spring system) will bring rain and storms to the Ohio and TN valleys today. Severe storms, including the risk for tornadoes, and flash flooding are all threats that this region will face have to watch out for today.

New episodes each week!

Stay tuned for my coverage in the coming months of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope and the launch of Crew-13! I’ll be down at the Space Coast with my NASA press pass covering it all for ya!

MM’s Wx Summary

I’ll have this updated in the morning, as well. Right now I’m most concerned with severe storms in the afternoon hours. If you have outdoor plans, just be prepared in case a storm blows up. Some of you may not see anything in the afternoon, while others may see a potent storm.

Confidence is looking good for the five day forecast. The only question I have right now concerns storm coverage and intensity for Saturday afternoon and evening.

MM’s Wx Analysis

My threat levels remain unchanged from this morning’s update. I’ll have a fresh update on this in the morning. I feel confident that these threat levels will change very little, if any.

I’ll be using my concern meter for the first time tomorrow! You’ll be able to see if I’m feeling better, worse, or staying the same through the day.

Saturday’s weather map is a busy one! Heavy rain and severe storms affect an area from the Gulf Coast to Chicago.

The jet stream has stayed consistent in the model data for the past several model runs. Strong winds aloft and warm, humid air here at the surface could lead to severe storms Saturday afternoon.

I did a modeled weather balloon launch for the plateau for Saturday afternoon and the most concerning thing to me is the bit of wind shear that we’ll have. That could be just enough for an isolated spin-up tornado.

MM News

I was SUPER excited to learn today that I have been approved for a NASA press pass to cover the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope set for August 24!!! This telescope may be the one to discover other life in the univers, whether it be microscopic…or else! I am so excited to be going to this and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

I also found out that I get to cover the launch of Crew 13 in mid-September!!! This will be my first crewed launch to ever see and I am beyond excited to have this opportunity! Stay tuned for MUCH, MUCH more to come!

I made a YouTube video with more info about my exciting opportunity!

These are those severe weather threats I mentioned in the Wednesday night update. Now, the Storm Prediction Center is highlighting our area in the threat for Saturday. I’ll keep ya posted!

MM’s Wx Analysis

The front that was our foe when it threatened us with severe storms on Tuesday is now our friend! The air behind the front is cooler and less humid and we’ll take it, especially this time of the year! That front becomes our foe again this weekend when it lifts north, bring rain and storms to the area.

The most active weather today can be found in the central U.S., where severe storms and flooding threaten.
