severe weather outlook overview for the next few days

Thursday, May 15
Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the upper Mississippi River Valley and Great Lakes this afternoon and evening. Tornadoes, some of which could be strong, and very large hail and damaging winds will be possible. Severe thunderstorms are also expected through the lower Ohio River Valley, Ozarks and in parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
Friday, May 16
A regional outbreak of severe thunderstorms is likely across parts of the middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys Friday afternoon into Friday night. This may include a few intense supercells posing a risk for large hail and tornadoes. During the evening into the overnight hours, this will include an upscale growing and organizing bowing line of storms posing a risk for strong, damaging winds and a continuing risk for tornadoes.
Saturday, May 17
Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday across parts of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, and across parts of the southeastern Great Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley.

what is my future radar?

On My Future Radar, you can see the future. Or at least, what the weather forecast models think the future will be.

You are on the page that displays data from the NAM Hires forecast model. Currently, we have radar imagery for this model from now until .

About My Future Radar

My Future Radar uses data from the Rapid Refresh and the NAM forecast models to provide simulated future radar imagery.

The Rapid Refresh model is run hourly and is useful for short term forecasting. The North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM) is run 4 times a day and typically has data from now to 2.5 days in the future.
