Good Tuesday, folks. We have a series of cold fronts set to work across the bluegrass state over the next week and change. This will bring an increase in showers and storms and a decrease in temperatures behind each passing front.
Our first front arrives from northwest to southeast later tonight into Wednesday and will kick off a few showers and storms ahead of it. Locally heavy rains will be likely with any storm that goes up and a few could be on the strong side. Temperatures will come down a few degrees behind this boundary.
The next front is stronger and arrives on the scene Friday. More showers and storms will accompany this boundary as it pushes through…
Some very nice air comes in behind this boundary for the weekend. That front is likely to stall just to our south and southwest and that may lift back toward the north late Sunday into early next week. That could increase rain chances as the next cold front gets ready to sweep in…
The GFS average temperature departure from this Friday through next Friday has a lot of real estate cooler than normal…
As usual, I leave you with your storm tracking tools for the day…
Make it a terrific Tuesday and take care.
Hosting High School Girls golf tournament August 17 in Central Ky.. hoping for dry weather..your thoughts?? Thanks for all you do weather wise!!
Thanks Chris. Too early to be getting very cool. But we could use a little rain. Haven’t had much here. But don’t wantvtemps to get too cool! Still want to use the pool! Have a great day all.
Man, that is a beautiful cluster of storms heading towards TENNMARK in Nashville:)
Another swing and miss here on the rain this evening. It just won’t rain significantly in south Louisville the past 5 weeks. As wet as it was the first 6 months of this year (and last year), wow, has it sured dried out. I’m actually surprised how brown yards have gotten locally considering how wet the ground was in late June. Even some other shallow rooted vegetation is wilting a bit from lack of signifiant moisture these past 5 weeks. Nature is cruel, sometimes.
Meanwhile, southwest Kentucky continues to cash in every few days on severe storms and flooding downpours. Paducah is sitting at 52 inches for the year which is almost 22 inches above normal. Amazing down there.
You sure had that right, Terry!
The SPC earlier decided not to issue a Severe T-Storm Watch for Tennessee, and to be sure the line from looked to be weakening a little after it crossed the state line. But locally, we were under a Severe T-Storm Warning for damaging winds approaching severe limits (50 knots or near 60 mph). It wasn’t too rough in my neighborhood even if still lots of lightning and brief heavy rain. But several reports of trees down have come in from other parts of town, and about 10,000 customers are without power….. mostly to the north and northeast of downtown Nashville.
Over 3.5 inches of rain near Mt Olivet, KY and more storms coming!
