AI Predicts Tornadoes & Derechos for Missouri & Illinois Tuesday

Let’s hope the robots are wrong. Artificial intelligence programs from universities are predicting tornadoes and derechos for Missouri and Illinois Tuesday. Some forecasters do agree.

It would be a good idea to pay attention to severe weather possibilities across most of Missouri and Illinois on Tuesday, May 21. Weather on the Go on YouTube shared official graphics from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center which show both Missouri and Illinois in the danger zone for possibly severe storms Tuesday.

Here’s what the artificial intelligence routines from Colorado State University show for that same time period Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening.

This is the expectation for where lightning will be the most intense Tuesday. Again, Missouri and Illinois are the main targets.

The National Weather Service out of Springfield, Missouri is now also talking about increased confidence of explosive thunderstorm development Tuesday in Missouri.

As I’ve said before, this is not a forecast, but just a warning to pay attention to how the weather in Missouri and Illinois develop on Tuesday. Be prepared that warnings may be issued and be prepared to act to keep you and your family safe if the weather becomes dangerous like the artificial intelligence routines are expecting.
