Good Thursday, folks. It’s more of the same in terms of the weather across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Scattered storms and steamy temps continue to rule the pattern across our part of the world.
It’s pretty simple as far as forecast goes through the coming weekend and early next week. Daytime highs will range from the middle 80s to the low 90s with humidity levels making it feel MUCH, MUCH hotter. A daily threat for showers and storms will also be with us. The Models are trying to ramp it up a notch over the weekend. Check out the rainfall numbers through Tuesday…
From there, it’s all about what happens in the tropics. The models continue to struggle (as they should from days away) with what should become Hermine . The European Model shows this crossing southern Florida late this weekend and early next week…
From there, the latest run takes it toward the Florida Panhandle…
The Canadian is a little farther west…
We will continue to see some wild fluctuations in track and intensity over the next few days. This is very typical of tropical systems.
Here are your tracking tools for the day…
Have a great day and take care.
Geez, that front didn’t provide the prolonged relief I had hoped. Here we are a few days later and we have dew points in the Upper 70s! We’re going to flirt with heat advisory criteria if dew points stay that high.
89 with a 96 heat index in Richmond. No wonder I stay inside so much.
Through yesterday, this ties for the seventh (Along with 1954, 1988, and 2005) warmest summer on record at 77.1 in Lexington. That average should climb through the 31st. Up next is 2002 in sixth place at 77.3. There is an outside shot we could tie or top 2010 for fifth place with 77.6. The four hottest summers were 1936, 1952, 1943, and 1982. 1936 tops the list at 79.6.
This will also make all three season in 2016 (Winter at #5, Spring at #9 and summer to be determined) in the Top Ten Warmest. I wonder if we are on track for the warmest year on record?
It depends on whose “data” that you use 😉 I am not buying the warmest record trends and know people that deal with this on an official basis that provide me that doubt.
That is not a point at you, but the data itself.
If referring to Kentucky on own- maybe top ten or even five. Splitting statistical hairs though. Hot be hot.
CM, ignore the peanut gallery and keep bringing the relevant info. You da man!
CM posts good stuff and trend summaries.

The rain models are getting about as reliable as the snow models. Wild.
