Good Tuesday everyone. The region continues to get some MUCH needed dry weather and that trend should continue for most of this week as warm weather takes control. All of this happens before an abrupt change to cool takes place this weekend and it could be a rather noisy trantition with some thunderstorms.
The setup for the next few days should be one that features warm temps as readings should range from 80-85 for just about the entire week. There will be a weak front dropping toward us from the north Wednesday night and early Thursday… this could bring a stray shower or thunderstorm with it as it puts the brakes on just to our north.
The main action of the week will come our way by later Friday as low pressure rides from the plains into the Great Lakes. This low will drag a strong cold front in here. The threat for strong or severe storms will be with us Friday afternoon and night before we make the transition to a , for May standards, chilly airmass. Here is how it looks on the European Model…
That is a very sharp temp drop from Friday into Saturday as we go from the 80s to near 60 for highs. There is even a chance for some upper 30s for lows by Sunday morning.
You can see we still have quite a cold air pool sitting up there in Canada. That, to me, suggests this should be a rather active severe weather month for much of the country. As we have seen in recent days… that may very well include our part of the country.
Flood waters here in Kentucky are SLOWLY receding in many areas. River Flooding has been deemed as MAJOR for various rivers across the state. High water will continue to be a problem on the bigger rivers for the next several days.
We all know how devestating the floods have been around here. Believe it or not… the Nashville area has been hit even harder as some parts of that region picked up around 20″ of rain over the weekend. Take a look at some video from Nashville…
Just some amazing stuff to see there in Music City as it will take months for that city to get back on its feet!
Have a great Tuesday and take care.
Uhm… Rain with thunder and lightening in NW Lexington??? I’m riding funeral escort today for Officer Durman… How long will this last?
Same here in Georgetown with pretty gusty winds. It seemed to have stopped within the past few minutes.
Welcome news for everyone thata few dry days are in store, for sure. As for the weekend, well, I saw blackberries blooming the other day, so I suspect that the cooler temps will be blackberry winter….and it SHOULD be the last one.
In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the beautiful DRY weather while it is here. Hopefully, we will all get a chance to dry out and start picking up the pieces.
Have a GREAT day all. Get out and make it a good one!
What’s the real scoop on the rumor that Cave Run’s dam has failed?
I hope you are getting your bathroom back in shape after the flooding. I’ve been thinking about you and your shop-vac. 🙂 God bless modern gizmos!

Hi, man! I’m completely agree with that way of assessment and everything connected.
