Temperatures should surge today following the overnight passage of a warm frontal system with highs this afternoon near 80 degrees. This warm front (and additional fronts) will keep it unsettled around here from today through the upcoming weekend with occasional showers and maybe a few strong thunderstorms mixed into the picture. Looking ahead, a colder-than-normal air mass arrives in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US on Monday and it looks like the first half of next week will feature below-normal temperatures for this time of year with near-freezing conditions likely on Tuesday night.

The risk is high today for a severe weather outbreak across the Tennessee Valley, Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and Mid-South and this threat includes the possibility of multiple strong (EF-3+) tornadoes. Numerous ingredients are coming together to result in a widespread severe weather outbreak later today and tonight including strong jet streaks at multiple levels of the atmosphere, a clash of air masses with cold, dry air to the north and west and warm, humid air to the east and south, and a strong surface low pressure system with its attendant cold front. In addition to the severe weather, it appears that a multi-day extreme rainfall event is on the way for much of this same part of the nation from later today through the first half of the weekend with widespread flooding a serious concern.

It starts off quite chilly this morning and remains on the cool side this afternoon despite some fading sunshine as a warm front approaches the area. That warm front can produce isolated showers around here later tonight and then temperatures should surge on Thursday following its passage with tomorrow’s highs well up in the 70’s. This front (and additional fronts) will keep it somewhat unsettled around here for the late week and weekend with a daily shot at some shower activity, and maybe a couple of thunderstorms mixed in. Looking ahead, a colder-than-normal air mass arrives in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US on Monday and it looks like the first half of next week will feature below-normal temperatures for this time of year.

A very unsettled weather pattern is coming to the Middle Mississippi Valley and Tennessee Valley regions that will include a severe weather threat from later today into tonight and an excessive rainfall threat through the upcoming weekend. Much of the activity both in terms of severe weather and heavy rainfall we’ll likely stay just to our west and north into Friday, but we’ll have to keep a close eye on it...as it stands, some decent rainfall is still likely around here and there certainly can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity as well.

It starts off chilly this morning, but temperatures should be able to climb back to near 60 degrees this afternoon with plenty of clouds around as a warm front approaches the area. That warm front can produce a shower or two around here later tonight and then temperatures should surge on Thursday following its passage with tomorrow’s highs in the upper 70’s. This front (and additional fronts) will keep it somewhat unsettled around here for the late week and weekend with a daily shot at some shower activity and a few thunderstorms may be mixed into the picture. Looking ahead, a colder-than-normal air mass arrives in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US on Monday and it looks like the first half of next week will feature below-normal temperatures for this time of year.

We all know the words…
“the weather started getting rough, the tiny shipped was tossed…”
Indeed, stormy weather played a critical role in the shipwrecking of the S.S. Minnow on that fateful day in late September 1964 onto an uncharted “desert” island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The ship set sail that day on a three-hour tour with five passengers, the captain of the S.S. Minnow, Jonas Grumby (aka Skipper), and his first mate named Gilligan. A sudden storm interrupted the tour, damaged the tiny ship, and the two-man crew somehow managed to steer the boat to safety onto an uninhabited island not far from the Hawaiian Islands.
For years, there has been a cloud hanging over the head of the Skipper as the result of conjecture that he was somehow at fault on that day in putting the passengers at risk. However, new evidence has come to light that should exonerate the Skipper once and for all from any wrongdoing.
