Good Sunday, my fellow weather weenies. We are wrapping up a typical hot and humid weekend in the bluegrass state. Steamy temps and scattered storms will soon give way to a pattern featuring storms, storms and more storms. Sound familiar? That setup has been the king of the summer.

Today is likely to be what I consider an above normal “hot” day. Readings can hit 95 in some locations, even outside the ridiculous airport thermometers. Scattered storms will develop with some locally heavy downpours and frequent lightning.

The storm action increases over the next couple of days, and a few of the boomers could be strong. This trend of increasing showers and thunderstorms carries us through the rest of the week into the coming weekend. That’s when we get a nice trough digging into the region…

I recently threw out some winter weather thoughts, and talked about how the forecasts for some raging La Nina were likely overblown. There is some question if we can even get a La Nina to form. The latest CFS forecast shows a borderline weak event this fall and winter…

If we only get to a weak Nina, there are some heavyweight winter analogs showing up.

I leave you with your storm tracking tools…

Make it a great day and take care.
