Good Sunday to one and all. Storms, storms, and few storms have been highlighting the weather across Kentucky for much of the summer. As we get ready to flip the calendar to August, it looks like storms, storms and a few more storms are on the way.
This final day of July will feature scattered storms going up throughout the day. Any storm that’s out there will contain a lot of lightning and torrential rains. Just how much rain has fallen lately? Take a look at the 30 day radar estimates ending this past Friday…
When all is said and done, this may go down as the wettest July on record for Kentucky as a whole.
While it may be hard for August to match that, things do start out on a stormy note. We will have to watch for thunderstorm clusters diving in here from the northwest over the next few days. The NAM…
The Canadian agrees…
That setup will need to be closely watched. Clusters of storms like that can be strong and put down widespread heavy rains for areas they hit. That’s the last thing we need.
Additional storms develop late in the week into next weekend. That’s when a cold front moves in and slows down. Yippee.
I leave you with your Sunday edition of storm tracking tools…
Have a great day and take care.
Woke up to a substantial pop-up thunderstorm early this morning and checked the radar on my phone…sitting only over the Berea area and the only participation in the entire state at that time. ‘Deluge on this place in particular’, indeed. I think we’re good on rain now after that waterfall.
This summer keeps leaving me with the impression of a winter with more inches of rain than snow. No real reason just a feeling.

Check out this video of a tornado from Vietnam. We’re so used to SEEING tornadoes because of them being coated with debris and visible particles but we forget that they’re actually just wind and thus inherently invisible. That looks like a scene from something you might see in the upcoming Dr. Strange movie.

How about an intelligent, weather related comment. Today marks ten days in a row the temperature has not fallen below 70 degrees in Lexington. That is actually pretty impressive (not sure how it ranks historically). It takes a long stretch of high dewpoints and humid weather to see that in Lexington.
Scratch that…it fell to 69 this morning..lol
