Good Saturday to one and all. It’s another day of watching for rounds of showers and thunderstorms to rumble across the bluegrass state. These storms will continue to pack a heavy rain punch, and can produce local flash flooding issues… Again.
A cold front is sliding in from the north with showers and storms going up along and head of this bad boy. With a waterlogged ground, and more heavy rain producing storms, it won’t take very much to create some additional flooding issues. This is especially true along and south of Interstate 64. Your tracking tools in a bit.
Sunday’s weather looks much better with just a small threat for a storm in the southeast. Humidity levels come down area wide. Enjoy.
The threat for a thunderstorm creeps back in for Monday, but really ramps up Tuesday and Wednesday…
This happens as deep tropical moisture from the Gulf surges northward…
While all this is going on, some of the models suggest some kind of tropical system develops along the Gulf coast. The European shows this hanging around down there for several days before slowly lifting northward and being absorbed into a trough across our region…
That’s just what Kentucky needs… an even bigger surge of tropical rains. Sigh.
Here are your heavy rain trackers for the day…
Have a great Saturday and take care.
Normally, (at least from what I remember over the past 10 summers) this is usually the time of year where the water shuts off and the lawns start turning brown…..and that seems to go through Aug/Sept, b4 the rains start again in the fall….
But some years have been EXCEPTIONS – One of the worst longest storms I remember was in September ( a dry month) at night around 11 pm in Lexington and it rained almost 7 inches in 2 hours. The rain/lightning/wind were crazy and the storms just kept training. I’m not sure, but I think this was 2006
