Good Tuesday to one and all. We have a cold front dropping into the state today, bringing a much cooler look and feel to the pattern. This setup is likely settling in for the long haul, but the overall pattern also remains very active with frequent systems moving in. There’s some flat out ugly stuff showing up this weekend.
A few showers and thunderstorms will be moving across the region today as we await the arrival of the front. Just like the past few days, a few strong storms may put down torrential rainfall, with the best chance across the south and southeast. Your daily dose of tracking toys…
Much cooler and drier air will filter in behind the front tonight and Wednesday. Highs generally range from the upper 70s to low 80s across the state, with low humidity levels.
Thursday looks equally as nice with dry weather and highs in the 80-85 degree range for many.
Another system then works our way for Friday, and is likely to be a huge cutoff system that hangs out into the weekend and early next week…
That’s pretty crazy to see in the heart of summer! The end result would be unsettled weather with rounds of showers and storms likely…
There is the potential for a lot of rain to fall through the weekend…
Temperatures may be held WAY down under the core of that upper low. In fact, the setup has me checking to see what the record cool high temps are for a few days… Just out of curiosity. 😉
Another deep trough is likely to dive in later next week. Check out the big blast of cool showing upon the European Ensembles…
That’s a strong signal for cooler than normal temps for a lot of folks across the country.
Make it a great Tuesday and take care.
Thanks Chris for the update. The next couple of days looks to be a refreshing break, but right now it is so unbearable outside I can hardly stand it. I’m staying indoors today. On the last weather model that pattern is what one would expect during the late winter months. Have a great day everyone.
Thanks…
Not been posting anything, but read regularly. Thanks for keeping us informed.
Thanks Chris. Looking like some rain here this morning so that is a good thing. We could actually use some. It it also sounds like the weekend could be full of more than we want. In any event we will take it and go on. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
Hope we get some of it, we’ve been drought conditions north of Louisa since middle of. May
We will see if this pans out. Lower humidity is great.
According to the KY mesonet the dewpoint at the Franklin County site is now down to 59 while it remains 72 in Mercer County. That’s only about a thirty mile distance. The drier air is coming!
Sounds good. It still felt soupy in Richmond and Lexington earlier.
