Good Wednesday gang and thanks for stopping by the center. This is likely to be a busy day here on the blog for a number of reasons.We get showers and thunderstorms to crank up… temps may try to actually feel like July and I might have some news you guys may like! 
As soon as I know for sure… you will be the first to know so keep checking back.
A cold front makes a run at us today as warmer and more humid air moves in from the southwest. This will all lead to a few showers or storms around today. The best threat will come later in the day and any storm that goes up may be strong and contain some very heavy rains. You can track the storms here…
The Storm Prediction Center is watching the western and central parts of Kentucky for the best risk for a few of the storms to go severe. Here is their severe map for the day…
As the front works slowly across the region… another round of severe storms is possible Thursday. This time the best chance will be farther east compared to today…
What am I thinking in terms of the forecast? Here is a general idea for central and eastern Kentucky…
Keep in mind that coming up with one number to fit all areas is IMPOSSIBLE to do and this is only a guide. Let’s break it all down…
Highs out there today and Thursday will be tough to nail down because of the potential showers and storms. Highs in the mid 80s will be likely with the shot at an upper 80. If the clouds and storms are more widespread… temps will be several degrees cooler. I know that sounds like double speak… but it’s true! 
Low pressure will be working northeastward across the region Friday in a setup that looks straight from the heart of winter. Honestly… this looks like a winter pattern here in the middle of Summer. This low will bring more showers and some storms to the area to start the weekend. More locally heavy rains will be possible and this is something we will have to keep an eye on through Friday. Highs Friday will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
A deep trough will be in place across the eastern half of the country over the weekend into early next week. This will lead to one heck of a cool and even chilly air mass. Low to mid 70s for highs are looking more and more likely this weekend and I am beginning to wonder if those numbers are too high. Lows this weekend… especially Sunday… may dip toward the upper 40s. WOW!
Like I said in my last post… I am already checking the record books to see where the numbers are for the weekend.
Looking into next week, we find a pattern that will continue with below normal temps. It will begin to change up some though as we are likely to go into a very humid and wet pattern next week into the following week. The pattern is also favorable for some tropical action before the month is over.
So there you have it… a very busy Wednesday in the world of weather. Check back for updates on some possible news I may have for you guys… especially if you have missed seeing my ugly mug.
Take care.

For any of you that keep up with the WKYT Weather Blog. Just found out T.G. has been in the hospital. I thought some of you might want to leave him a note of well wishes. He is home recovering now. I’m sorry Chris, IF I’m dropping a BIG HINT as to your news.Please forgive me if I’ve spoiled your fun. But thought everyone would like to know.
I’m so sorry that T.G. has been ill.
T.G., if you read this, my heart and prayers are with you.
CHRIS! I hope your news means you’re coming home to us!!!!!!!!! We really have missed you, my friend!!!! We have you here, but we want to see your mug on t.v. also!!!!!!!!!! Here’s hoping!
I was excited at the prospect of Chris moving home – I have missed him on the morning news…but I’m not so excited to hear it at the expense of T.G. (No offense Chris!) Does anyone know what happened? Get well soon T.G.!!
You’re coming back to KYT!! At least for a visit like last summer. Either way, we miss ya in the Bluegrass CB.
Oh man, I didn’t know TG was ill. Get well soon man.
T.G. left a little note on his weather blog letting everyone know why he hadn’t added any new weather info. He just said, he had been in the hospital and is home now to recover and that he was feeling to weak and loopy to explain it all right now.He thought he might be out of work at least through Friday.
Yea Chris!!!! Please say your coming home..I really miss seeing you everyday…LOL….and TG,I hope you feel better real soon.God Bless you Both!
Chris, you have me wondering what the “news” is going to be! I hope it is good for ALL of us!
As for the weather, that bout of storms seems to look like it means business, for sure! I am not looking forward to a round of severe stuff at all, but, even more of a shocker is the forecast highs for the weekend! WOW!~
This has truly been a most unusual pattern, and from what you are saying, it looks to want to stay that way, at least for the short term. I am just wondering what that could mean for the upcoming winter months!
Waiting for the news! Don’t keep us in suspense for too long!!!
Hey gang, just now trying to get back into the swing of things after losing my grandmother this past week…and what better way to get back on track is to hear maybe Bailey back on our local tube!!!!!…I hope your coming back Chris Just in time FOR THE WINTER WEATHER BONANZA !!!! LOL..LOL…
chris my man please tell me that you are coming HOME!truly this is where ive been getting my weather since you left.dude its beenlike days of old getting anything close to a forecast since you left.come on dude tell me “YOURE BACK”. take care weather dude.
I do hope the NEWS is that your coming back Chris… like Dwayne, this blog is my only weather news.
So sorry to hear about T.G. Hope he gets well soon. Sickness during the summer is the pits… been there and done that.
First TIM! I am so sorry for your loss, I lost one of my grandmothers in April you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, 2nd, T.G. I hope you get better soon, also in out thoughts and prayers, and THIRD! I hope more than anyone that Bailey comes back but guys remember he also pointed out that he was going to put more video of him on here! So I’m trying not to read too much into his last statement. I hope he comes back to Lexington, but I’d settle for video forcast! Take care all, looks like we are going to get wet!
Also, if you dont mind, please say an extra little prayer for my oldest daughter today, she is getting her wisdom teeth cut out. I know it is a pretty simple procedure, but extra prayers are always good! Seems like she was just cutting her first tooth! They grow TOO fast! Thanks gang! 🙂
There is never a simple procedure when it comes to your kids. They do grow up way to fast. My prayer’s will be with you and your daughter. My hubby had his cut out last year. Only advice I can give is plenty of mashed potatoes and ice cream. lol
Tim, so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Your family are in my prayers. chelle, your daughter is in my prayers. Hope everthing goes well for her. Chris, I’m checking back in throughout the day for your good NEWS!!
Woo-hoo!
Chris….you just mention news and everyone is excited…you can’t keep this to yourself for long!
Who said the news has to do with his job? Maybe he’s going to be a Daddy again?
You said…I thought it! Ha!
Have any of you heard of this? Interesting tidbit…..
July 15—St. Swithin’s Day
St. Swithin was a beloved 9th-century bishop of Winchester who requested that he be buried outdoors—to enjoy God’s gift of rain for all eternity. When others decided to move his remains inside, legend has it that St. Swithin caused torrential rains to fall for 40 days. This is the source of several weather proverbs regarding rain on July 15.
St. Swithin’s Day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain.
I’m sure people are going to be crazy excited to see you on KYT Friday night Chris. I know how poor Lauren is feeling right now after an extended fill in shift. Today is day 7 straight working for me with two left
