The potential for widespread storms and impactful severe weather next week continues to diminish. So we have some good news to report on the weather forecast today.
I still think there will be a few renegade storms trying to move across the area, but they should be pretty isolated and don’t look like they’ll be able to tap into much energy in the atmosphere.
The Storm Prediction Center shows the highest risk for severe weather up along the Ohio River Valley. The CIPS Analogs continues to – stubbornly – show our area with a higher risk for storms.
It’s actually a great example of how tricky severe weather forecasting can be for the Gulf Coast if you don’t know what you are looking for (or, if you are not a human). Because this event is one of those ‘when all of the pieces are in place, but nothing is there to be the catalyst’ events. So, on paper, it looks like a slam dunk for severe weather. But once you investigate things, it really isn’t.
