Good Sunday to one and all. With another nice weather day in the making, I’m not going to get too windy on you all with this update. I can tell you, this is the week I get started looking at what the upcoming fall and winter may have in store. Let me know if you want me to throw you some thoughts.
We are nearing the midway point of meteorological summer, and it’s been a very wet one across Kentucky. Check out the rainfall departures from the past 30 days…
A few spots were near normal, but the majority of the state is covered with much above normal rainfall. This has been the summer theme of the past 4 years.
It looks like we hang on to that theme for the week ahead as scattered showers and thunderstorms work across the region. A few could fire up today in the far south or southeast. Here’s a snapshot of the rain numbers from the GFS…
Temperatures will be normal to slightly above early in the week, but make be normal to a bit below later in the week. As they have all summer, the models continue to advertise a week two heat wave. That has yet to show up around here, and until it actually does, forget about the models.
Have a great day and take care.
Thank you, Chris for always giving time and thought to your weather blog. I appreciate it, and as a teacher, rely on your knowledge when there’s potential for snow.
And that leads me to… Yes! I would very much like to hear your thoughts on this coming winter. Thank you!
Chris,
I too really appreciate the time and effort that you put into your forecasts and the blog. Being a fan of late fall and winter, I’m hoping to hear what a lot of people don’t want to hear. I may be moving to Alaska in the not so far future. Is anyone up there doing something similar to what you do? You can reply via email if you want.

Bring on the fall/winter thoughts
Anyone else feel like this winter will be a warmer, milder winter, than even last winter?
I love some snow but honestly wouldn’t mind a warmer winter..cheaper heat bill!
I predict an old school winter is on the way. 2016-2017 winter will be a winter to remember! Who am I kidding? Bring on model madness!
It’s July. No.
Agreed.
