#Weather #Heat #ILwx #KYwx #TNwx #MOwx July 25, 2025. The peak of the heat wave is expected to arrive on Monday and Tuesday. Perhaps the hottest two days of 2025.

#NOAA #NWS #Flood #NWSWPC #FlashFlood Now is a good time to remind everyone that high-impact/high-casualty weather events impact meteorologists in different ways. Many feel personally responsible when lives are lost. Support one another. Show compassion.

Here is an interesting map from the Climate Shift Index project. How much more likely is the current heatwave, because of climate change? The colors represent how much more likely an event is to occur. More information here

#GulfofMexico #ClimateChange #Ocean #Weather #Climate #Hurricane 6/24/25 The Gulf of Mexico waters just hit a new high (going back to 1991). The waters are warm. Not great news for the hurricane season (among other things).

#Smoke #ClimateChange #WildFires #Canada May 31, 2025. A stunning satellite image this morning. Look at all the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Fueled by climate change. This is the third or fourth year of significant smoke in our region.

#Tristatewx April 15, 2025. I am watching FRI, SAT, and SUN for severe storms. It is a bit early for certainties. I believe SUN could bring the most significant threat. Monitor updates. Here is the FRI, SAT, and SUN severe wx outlook from the SPC/NOAA. Locally heavy rain is a concern, as well.

#ILwx #MOwx #KYw #TNwx April 2, 2025. This is a rare weather event setting up for our region. Listen to watches and warnings. Have a safety plan.
April 2, 2025 at 11:40 AM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYw #TNwx March 31, 2025 Another widespread severe weather event appears certain on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Golf ball+ size hail, 70 mph winds, and tornadoes will be possible. Stay weather-aware.
March 31, 2025 at 3:38 PM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYw #TNwx March 31, 2025 This is the most rainfall that the KPAH office has ever predicted. An extreme rain event appears likely later this week.
March 31, 2025 at 3:37 PM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx #Tornado #Weather March 29, 2025. A severe weather event is likely SUN afternoon and night. Large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes are possible. Review your severe weather safety plans. Monitor updated forecasts. Here is the latest severe weather outlook from the SPC
March 29, 2025 at 1:49 PM
#NOAA #NWS #Weather DOGE wants to give the zone forecasts to the WPC. Who is going to stop this madness? They are going to destroy NOAA and the NWS. It appears that IS the goal. This is extremely concerning for the weather community and the country.

#ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx #Tornado #Weather March 28, 2025. A severe weather event is likely Sunday afternoon and night. Large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes are possible. Review your severe weather safety plans. Monitor updated forecasts.
March 28, 2025 at 1:18 PM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx 3/27/25 There remains a low level risk of severe weather SUN afternoon and night across our local area. The SPC could increase the risk, but confidence in the details remains low. There are questions about timing and extent. Hail is the primary concern. Monitor updates.
March 27, 2025 at 12:58 PM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx March 26, 2025. A decent day ahead of us. Scattered showers and storms will arrive tonight and tomorrow. More storms this weekend. I can't rule out a few intense storms on Sunday. A bit early to know if severe weather will be a concern. Monitor updates.

#Tornado #Tristatewx #ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx #Weather March 21, 2025. We are nearing 200 tornadoes from the outbreak last week. The Paducah, KY NWS recorded no less than six EF3's. I am not sure when the last time that happened. This was a significant outbreak.
March 21, 2025 at 12:05 PM
#NWSPAH #Paducah #ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx March 20, 2025. The Paducah, KY NWS is number two in the nation for issuing tornado warnings thus far. This is from January 1st to now.
March 20, 2025 at 12:00 PM
#Tristatewx #ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx #DustStorm March 19, 2025. Check out the Texas dust! It now extends into Iowa and Michigan. Quite amazing. A deep area of low pressure is pulling the dust northward.
March 19, 2025 at 4:33 PM
#ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx #Tornado 3/18/25 Over 100 tornadoes have been recorded from the outbreak. The Paducah, KY, NWS has recorded the 2nd most tornado track miles in its office history. Number one was last May. They are still conducting surveys.
March 18, 2025 at 1:03 PM
#ILwx #KYwx #MOwx #TNwx 3/14/25. An outbreak of severe weather is possible in our region this evening into tomorrow. Stay weather-aware. Have three or more ways of receiving your severe weather warnings. Make sure you are prepared for tornadoes at night.

#ILwx #KYwx #MOwx #TNwx 3/12/25. I continue to monitor FRI and SAT. Dew points are still in question for a larger event. As it stands, a few severe storms are possible locally. Confidence is medium. Red hatched means some higher-end severe possible (higher winds/strong tornadoes).
March 12, 2025 at 2:17 PM
#ILLwx #KYwx #MOwx #TNwx 3/11//25. We could have severe thunderstorms FRI night into SAT. Right now, dew points look minimal. If dew points aren't higher, the severe risk will likely be lower across my forecast area. Monitor updates. This is still several days out.
