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…

Euro 2

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.
