Good Tuesday, everyone. Severe weather and flooding rains pounded much of the region over the 4th of July weekend. While some of us get a bit of a break today, more storms are on the way in the coming days. These storms will be coming at us from a different direction than the ones we just had. Instead of watching the west, it’s time to focus on the northwestern sky.
Before we get to those additional storm clusters, we have a few more storms out there today. The greatest chance is across eastern and southern parts of the region. Any storm that goes up can put down some very heavy rain numbers…
Heat builds across the plains and Mississippi Valley over the next several days. Some of this makes a run at Kentucky, but the outer edge of the heat is likely to spawn rounds of thunderstorms. Look at the NAM future radar for Wednesday into Thursday…
This is a theme backed up by the GFS…
And the European Model…
These storms can become wind produces that also put down a lot of rain. Given how wet the ground is, we will have to watch for possible flash flooding.
A cold front then drops in over the weekend, and likely puts the brakes on. The end result could be some west-east moving thunderstorms setting up…
Anyone seeing a stormy theme here?
Make it a great day and take care.
This has been a bad year for gardens in Campbell county so far…. Well maybe next year!! Thanks Chris…. Let’s hope all those people who have been flooded r getting the help they need….
Air is super soupy. Jogging was like a sauna when the sun would poke through.
Thanks Chris. Our rain gauge wasn’t as full as a lot were but we still got close to 2 inches over the weekend here at our house. Today it is partly sunny and very muggy. That likely means a storm or hard rain or both at some point Here’s hoping it holds off until we can get the yard mowed! Have a great rest of your Tuesday/Monday everyone.
