Hello gang and welcome to the middle of the week. Here is hoping this blog post finds you doing well. We have an active couple of weather days ahead of us and some of it is coming from an unlikely source. The leftovers of what used to be powerful Hurrican Dolly will be moving into Kentucky the next few days.

What is left of this system is a little spin and some deep moisture across the plains. Here is a sat shot…



What’s left of Dolly will interact with a cold front to produce increasing amounts of showers and thunderstorms. The best chance will come Wednesday night into Thursday when some very heavy rains and strong storms will be possible.

Here is a closeup of the rainfall totals from a couple of our models…

GFS


The exact placement of the heaviest rains won’t be known until we see the storms actually setting up. Both of the models from above show rain totals in excess of a couple of inches. We will have to closely watch this situation and I will update as needed.

Beyond that…  we see the heat trying to kick in full steam across the region by later this weekend and early next week. Before that can happen… we can sometimes get some clusters of storms to develop on the nose of the heat ridge and that’s something to watch for Saturday and Sunday.

Then the heat moves in for Monday and Tuesday with low to mid 90s a pretty good bet. 100 degree heat won’t be too far away from us.

Have a great day and I will update again later. Take care.
