Good Friday, everyone. Labor Day Weekend is here and that means fall is officially on the clock in my book. If that doesn’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will. 🙂 Unfortunately, the holiday weekend looks to feature an increase in showers and thunderstorms.
That means August will go out on a very appropriate note… wet.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will increase across the region later today into the evening. This may develop from southwest to northeast and could impact some high school football games.

Saturday will be a very tropical feeling day with scattered showers and thunderstorms pushing in ahead of a tropical surge of moisture. That comes in from southwest to northeast through Sunday and Monday. That shows up very well on the NAM simulated radar…
While it isn’t going to rain all the time, when it does… look out. Torrential rains will be a good possibility and that could cause some local high water issues.
Scattered showers and storms look to hang tough into the first half of next week. Moral of the story… September looks to start out by doing a good imitation of our soggy August.
Have a great day and take care.
Move over Lexington…Bowling Green moves ahead of Lexington for total rainfall this month…only needs about 0.10″ to set the all-time wettest August mark, heading into a stormy weekend.
It’s possible to have two official reporting stations in the LMK coverage area to record double-digit rainfall totals in the same year for the month of August. Don’t remember if that has ever happened before.
My area of frankfort is at about. 4.7 inches, nice rains but nothing near other areas breaking records!
Well, Chris, your forecast for 18 90 degree days has now verified in Lexington. I would say we hit 20 or more.
This is our 10th day in a row at 90 or higher here in Louisville. Looks like the streak will probably end on Sunday. As iof yesterday, we were .3 degrees below normal for the month so let’s call it normal. I’ve had more rain this month than May, June and July put together. Not bad for one of the drier months.
93 Degrees on my Car dash in Lexington today
