Good Monday morning to everyone. What a stormy Sunday we are coming out of… numerous reports of damaging winds and hail across much of the area. It looks like our storm chances will be sticking around for a few more days.

Before we start looking ahead… let’s take a look at some cool pics. I call the first one… ‘Storming The Castle”…



That was taken by Scott Co EMS Director Jack Donovan. It is an awesome pic of a storm moving right over the famous castle on Versailles Road.

An equally nice pic was sent in by Don McGowan of Cynthiana…



It shows an amazing sunset following Sunday’s storms.

Let’s get into the week ahead now.

1. More showers and storms will be firing up later Today. Some of those could be strong or severe once again. In between the storms… the heat and humidity will really build. Highs will hit the low 90s AGAIN.

2. Tuesday and Wednesday look to be rather stormy days around here. We could get several waves of strong storms to move across the region. Very heavy rains will be a problem and could lead to some high water concerns.

3. Temps will be coming down big time for the middle and end of the week. Below normal temps and low humidity levels will be with us.

4. A storm last week to the month could be shaping up around here and this is something I am looking into.

5. The tropics are kicking! Cristobal is a weak little storm sitting off the Carolina coast and will be moving northward over the next few days. Bertha is dead but Dolly is ready to take center stage. It will be crossing the Yucatan Today and will emerge in the Gulf. Here is the latest track map from the Hurricane Center…



Notice they now expect this to become a hurricane and that is something we talked about over the weekend. I think this storm may really kick up it’s heels a bit and try to rapidly intensify before coming ashore near Brownsville, Tx.

It may also be in no big hurry to move much once it comes ashore.

6. My vacation is over as I officially join the ranks of the employed again Today. It’s my first day at WSAZ-TV. I will be doing some training on the weather system and taking care of some other things through Wednesday with my first day back on the air coming Thursday! Man… it’s been three weeks since I have been in front of a weather wall. I hope it’s like riding a bike! Of course I had plenty of crashes on bikes well after I learned how to ride.

Take care everyone and I will update the blog a little later on.

Take care.
