Good Wednesday everyone and thanks for blogging with us! We continue to be in a very unsummer-like pattern across the eastern half of the country. You would have a hard time looking outside and guessing that today is the first day of July! We even had some big hail producing storms across some areas last night as the weather goes a little crazy on us for a few days.
Highs today will be even cooler than our upper 70s we had Tuesday. Many areas will stay in the mid to upper 70s and you can track the temps here…
Current Temps
Winds will be very gusty once again. Overall… this pattern is behaving almost exactly like the blog was forecasting from a week ago! Yes… we get one right every now and then. hahaha
The big cutoff low pressure across the lakes has little spokes of energy rotating around it. These little impulses will kick off scattered showers and storms. With the freezing level so close to the ground… hail is of concern! Some golfball sized hail fell in parts of southern and southeastern Kentucky very early this morning.
Watch the storms huff and puff with our radars…
Looking down the road toward the 4th of July Weekend I see warmer temps and some scattered storms. Highs by the 4th will reach the low to maybe mid 80s with a few storms on the move. A better chance for storms will blow in Sunday into Monday as another cold front moves in. This will bring another round of very pleasant temps into the first full week of July.
Since I have a week off from work, I had a chance to head back to Lexington Tuesday to catch up with my old KYT crew. Here is “the gang” one year after I walked out of Bill and Barb’s lives…
Yep… I can dress down with the best of them! hahaha
Have a great Wednesday and I will update things as needed.
Love that picture! Now stay right there with Bill and Barb. 🙂
I slept through the rain this morning.
Love these temps without the humidity.
Yesterday was beautiful!
Have a great and safe day Chris and everyone.
I agree with Char — stay right there with Bill and Barb! That’s a great photo. You are super skinny now and Bill and Barb remain ageless. The last year has been good to all three of you from the looks of things.
Chris, you nailed this week’s forecast. I told my husband that since nobody else was calling for highs in the 70’s as of this time last week, we’d have to see if you were right. You were right! I knew you would be. 🙂
Golf ball sized hail does not sound good, though. I hope it stays away. Boo hail!!
Love this weather Chris, for me it’s perfect summer weather. Golf ball size hail doesn’t sound perfect though, hope everyone is okay.
I too loved that picture and would have had chains and duct tape to “help” you stay in Lex if I’d known you were there.
Wearing a Calipari shirt is not dress down, it is required during visits to lexington.
The picture of the gang “together again” looks great. Sure do wish that you were there all the time. Thanks for the beautiful forecast that has come true. The weather is wonderful!!!! I’m glad that even if we don’t have you in Lexington, we still have you here on this site. Thank you, Chris, for all of your hard work!
Ah, that picture brings back lots of old memories. Glad you had a chance to stop by and see Bill and Barb again! I miss seeing them on T.V, since I don’t have digital yet! Still stuck in a third-world country at my place. Haha!
Take care, Chris, and thanks for ordering up this fantastic weather.
I have my windows open and the breeze is bording on COLD lol I LOVE IT! First day of July and chilly! Great pic of you Chris, see you CAN always come back HOME Lol 🙂
Great to see you back in the KYT studio again Chris, even if it was just for a visit! We like Todd, but we miss you still!
The weather is beautiful today! WE did get a severe warning about 12:45 this morning, and some pea sized hail where I live. I understand that other parts of Pulaski County got some big hail. We got a pretty good shower out of it, too.
Today, has been partly to mostly cloudy, and our temp right now is at78 degrees. A perfect day to do nothing, or even to work, if you have to…
Fireworks on the fourth, huh? Well, why not?
Does anyone know of a website that shows outflow boundaries? Glad you could come visit Chris! : )
Ah….what an awesome site that photo would have been if Chris was on the air again! Chris don’t leave!!!!
I’ll second that! Chris, don’t leave!
Evidently, something came through where I live (just north of Hazard) while I was sleeping last night or this morning. I woke up between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. and the ground and porch were wet. My tomato plants were leaning like a heavy wind or something came through. I hope it wasn’t huge hail.
I agree…..110%!
lovin the temps only if this would hold true till wintertime.
so how do you put up with those Marshall fans?
High temp today in Covington – 69. Did not even get out of the 60’s up here. I’m used to it being closer to 96 around the 4th of July.
Nice shirt, Chris! 🙂
even the black berries are not ripe yet and usually they are ripe by now if the birds haven’t eaten them all
I was just saying the same thing to my husband this evening. I’m loving this weather. And if I’m not mistaken, you said something about the 70’s last week or the week before for this week.
