Good Wednesday, everyone. This has been a summer dominated by two things… Steam and storms. The dynamic weather duo is back in the bluegrass state for an encore performance as we get ready to close out meteorological summer. To make things more interesting, the tropics are firing up.
Today will feature a few storms blowing up as the steamy air settles in from the southwest. Your tracking tools are back in a bit.
Daytime highs will range from the upper 80s to around 90 starting Thursday and running through the weekend. Any one area can see temps go a little higher, but the daily threat for storms may help us out…
The tropical air will make it feel much hotter, and can also cause any shower or thunderstorm to put down a lot of rain. The local high water threat will need to be monitored. 🙁
The tropics are kicking it now with 3 systems in the Atlantic. A current unnamed system will head toward the Bahamas this weekend, and likely develop into a storm before reaching Florida. The latest European…
The model now takes that into the central Gulf of Mexico and develops it into a monster. The new run brings this system all the way into our region next week…
Folks, that’s what I call a “WOW” run. This actually matches up well with the GFS from several days ago. You know… the same GFS that has lost the storm.
Here are your tracking tools for the scattered storms of today…
Have a great day and take care.
Thats eerie close to rricane Katrinas size and path, even across Florida. Yikes
Hope the models are wrong, that’s the last thing Louisianan needs. So much for the cooler air that they were predicting to last into next week.
All we need is another hurricane Ike. I’d rather not lose power for days on end, thankyouverymuch.
Latest Euro much more East..Rides the West Florida coast line..So back to square one..Not a clue what will emerge..Just like winter..
Another unforeseen tornado outbreak is in progress in Central Indiana. that is like the 2nd one in the past few weeks. I just hope that action stays to the north and west.
Ohio is now seeing warnings. This system does seem to be overachieving as there was previously a relatively low severe threat. Of course, this is one time you don’t want to see an overachiever.
Looks like there is not nearly as much shear and instability for tornadoes in Kentucky, but some strong storms are not out of the question especially for northern KY. Little doubt my sister in Georgetown KY will have her early warning devices ready to go.
Chris I used to love to get on your blog and see you talking about what we are going to see down the road now it’s like you just talk about what going on now I really miss the old Chris Bailey blog and miss not getting to comment on here hopefully one day we will get the old blog back I really miss it chris
