Good Friday, everyone. The last day of July is off and running and it’s looking to be a far cry from how we’ve spent most of the month. This has been a top 5 wettest July on record for many cities, but the month is wrapping up on a picture perfect note. If you think this is nice, there’s a chance we do it a little better in about a week.
Let’s start with where we are and roll ahead. The day may start with several areas sneaking into the upper 50s! Highs will be back in the low and middle 80s for much of the state with low humidity levels. Skies stay sunny.
Saturday’s temps will be just a bit warmer than today in the west and about the same central and east. There is the smallest chance for isolated showers and storms.
A better chance for isolated showers and storms will move in for Sunday and Monday as temperatures rebound. Humidity levels will also inch up, but nothing like what we just had a few days ago.
Cold fronts then get set to dive in here from the northwest. This will cause an increase in showers and storms from Tuesday through Thursday. The bigger news may be the cooler air pushing the storms through here. The temperature departures from normal on the GFS…
The timing and depth of the cool is in question. I think there is a good chance all that gets pushed back a few days because of a stalled out boundary.
If you know anything about the GFS, you will know just how bad this upgraded model has been with temps this summer. It’s a constant heat wave outside of 48 hours and has routinely been showing 100 degree temps around here. To say it’s failed would be an understatement, so to actually see the model sensing the cooler air is impressive in itself.
From the “for fun and games” category, the GFS low temps for next Saturday morning…
Check out the high mountains just to our east. That is highly unlikely, but it’s an indication of the season just around the corner.
Make it a great day and take care.
Ok if we arent even going to see 95 degrees in Central Kentucky….Then by all means lets get Fall underway….That way we can hurry up and get through Winter and bring on the Spring so that we can have a do-over!
Yeeeehawww
Hooray….Football,camp fires,cold one’s…Don’t get no better in fall..El Nino watch looks like maybe Basin wide instead of east based..Should be a very active southern jet stream on steroids this winter..Looking forward to see if another super storm can develop like 1993..If the cold air cooperates could be wild times ahead..
Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!
