MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

Thankfully, some of us got some rain yesterday. Hopefully we’ll all get rain by the time this week is over.

Today looks warm and humid. We should stay dry.

Our next best chance for rain comes Monday night. That rain comes with a risk for severe storms, so we’ll have to watch that closely. A line of strong to severe storms could impact the region Monday night, carrying the threat for a damaging straight-line wind gust. Hopefully we get some beneficial rainfall with that system.

Yet another severe storm threat is developing for Tuesday night. That risk is being monitored very closely.

We turn much cooler the end of next week. Frost can’t be ruled out.

The risk for below normal temps the first week of May continues to increase. We may see a risk for frost. I’ll keep you posted.

I maintain the same threat levels for Monday night as I have from the beginning. Trends have been decreasing this threat, which is good! However, stay tuned for any updates.

The severe storm threat for Tuesday night is increasing. Right now, I have the threat levels exactly the same as Monday night’s threat levels. However, stay tuned. This threat has shown a trend for increasing, so stay tuned.

Today’s severe threats are focused on Kansas. All hazards are possible there today.

By Monday, the severe threat moves much closer to the plateau, with that threat arriving here overnight Monday. The plateau continues to be outlined in the lowest of the five risk categories. Storms will be most severe back toward the Mississippi River. As they progress eastward after sunset, they will evolve into a line of strong storms. That line is expected to gradually weaken as it crosses Middle TN. Whatever is leftover is what we will get on the plateau, which will likely consists of gusty winds and rain. Hopefully, we’ll at least get rain.

The SPC is also monitoring a risk for severe storms for Tuesday night for our area.

The greatest tornado risk, shown below, continues to be focused well to our northwest. Our tornado risk isn’t zero here on the plateau, so we’ll still have to watch this closely.

Currently, the greatest tornado risk looks to be across West TN and Arkansas with the Tuesday night activity. However, the threat has been trending upward and it has trended eastward toward us. Stay tuned for updates.

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

Last night and this morning’s rain has been disappointing for many of us. While we’ve seen showers across the area, many of them have just not amounted to much. We continue to have shower and storm chances today. Fingers crossed!

Sunday looks warm and humid. We should stay dry.

Our next best chance for rain comes Monday night. That rain comes with a risk for severe storms, so we’ll have to watch that closely. A line of strong to severe storms could impact the region Monday night, carrying the threat for a damaging straight-line wind gust. Hopefully we get some beneficial rainfall with that system.

Next week has several rain chances and we’ll hope the guidance doesn’t trend drier with that rain. We desperately need the rain!

The risk for below normal temps the first week of May continues to increase.

I have not changed these threats from yesterday’s update, as I don’t see a need to at this time. Stay tuned for updates, as I’m sure some of these threats will increase or decrease as we get closer to Monday.

The SPC has issued a moderate risk for severe storms today across southeast Oklahoma. Giant hail is likely with the strongest storms, along with the risk of tornadoes, some of which could be significant.

Most of us should stay dry today, with the exception of those of you who may get an isolated shower or storm this afternoon/evening.

After midnight tonight, we’ll see rain chances increase for everyone. Hopefully we call get some rain overnight. Any storms that we get are not expected to be severe. That rain threat stays with us through the first half of the day Saturday, with only a chance for a shower the rest of the day. It will be a very warm and muggy weekend.

Sunday looks dry and most of Monday looks dry before a powerful storm system brings rain and storms back into the region Monday night. Some of those storms may be severe.

The Climate Prediction Center is monitoring a risk for below-normal temps the first week of May. Normal lows for the plateau this time of year are in the upper 40s.

The greatest severe weather threats today from the Storm Prediction Center can be found across southeast Oklahoma and northeast Texas (Arklatex region). West TN may end up getting severe storms too, but those will stay well to our southwest.

The greatest risk for tornadoes, shown below, continues to be for West TN for Monday and Monday night. Still, our chance isn’t zero, so we’ll continue to monitor closely. Hopefully, we just get leftover thunder and rain.
