Good Tuesday, folks. It’s a better feeling day out there for much of the region and we have more of that on the way. This is all part of a pretty active setup, with several cold fronts impacting our region as we close out July and usher in August.
Highs today range from 80-85 degrees for much of central and eastern Kentucky, to the mid and upper 80s in the west. Skies will be partly sunny with a few showers and storms in the west and far south…
Wednesday will be warmer with highs deep into the 80s, with a local 90 possible. Winds will be gusty as a cold front starts to move our way from the northwest. That front brings widespread showers and storms our way Thursday into Friday…
Another system then dives in here next week. Both of those show up well on the models…
This is all being pushed by some huge dips in the jet stream showing up across the eastern part of the country. The Canadian is pretty cool to see…
Obviously, that leads to some pretty nice shots of cooler than normal air…
I’ll take it! 🙂
Have a great day and take care.
Hopefully the areas needing a drink get one.
from my observation, the last few times, when a front came through here, storms were going to our northwest overnight, got here around 4 am weakening into just thundershowers….left cloud debris most of the morning….meanwhile, the front moved through our stabilized atmosphere, and convection redeveloped south of here. Am I correct in this observation. I’ve noticed this several times this year.
It’s happened a bunch in Georgetown this year. The storms die north, cloud debris, then they reform to the south and nothing happens here. Another frequent sight is the solid line of storms that split in half as they approach-sending part toward Sadieville/Cynthiana/Paris and the other part toward Lexington.
We did get a solid drink of water on Sunday though.
Thanks Chris, Looks like it’s going to be a better weather pattern setting up for the next several days as you stated in this morning’s blog. Cool August are rare, but I remember in August 1964, we had early morning temperatures in the 40’s. That was followed by a beautiful Autumn and an early Winter. Here, lately my county has missed the much needed rain. The frontal systems seem to fall apart as they move into our warm, humid air and then reform to the south of us. My only explanation, is that the high pressure is still blocking in the upper levels. Hopefully, this will all change in the coming days. Have a great day everyone.
***Yawn**
Go be a jerk somewhere else, Ralph.
It’s apparent that Ralph didn’t get enough love as a child…
