Good Friday everyone. We are setting up the blog for your tracking pleasure as we watch thermometers, scattered thunderstorms and Tropical Storm Don. Before we get to the toys… let’s give you a quick breakdown of some of my latest thoughts.
– The heat just keeps on keeping on. Thursday brought one of the hottest days of the entire summer for many areas. Today should feature temps back into the 90-95 degree range for many… but showers and storms will may have something to say about readings outside your house.
– Those showers and storms will be scattered about the region today… especially this afternoon and evening.
– A much better shot at showers and storms will be with us Saturday into Sunday when we have nice little plume of tropical moisture working in here. This could set the stage for some locally heavy rains and a strong storm or two.
– Temps will come down several degrees over the weekend.
– If you love the heat… don’t worry… it makes a return visit next week. 
– The tropics are already off to a fast start as we are already on our fourth named storm and I expect the tropical wave train to really crank up over the next few weeks.
– Tropical Storm Don is expected to come ashore along the Texas coastline later this evening or tonight. This has a shot at reaching hurricane strength before doing so.
Don gets the leading role in our daily dose of tracking toys…![[Image of 5-day forecast and coastal areas under a warning or a watch]](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT04/refresh/AL0411W5_NL_sm2+gif/023113W5_NL_sm.gif)

Ive had a bad feeling about this winter for a few weeks now. I think and hope we get our big one this year. And the way it is looking we may have a couple
Bad as in bad or bad as in good?
bad as in good for snowlovers and bad for people who hate snow.
Who knows about this winter. It seems to be progressing colder slowly as each winter passes. Wasn’t it always pretty normal way back when for winters to be very harsh and summers to be really hot? Or did it just “seem” worse because they didn’t have the comforts of life that we do now?
My AC doesn’t stop running from about 2pm to 8pm
I feel your pain sometimes i found out if i don’t run the big screen it runs normal though and i have the Tstat set at 73
Yes. A lot of electronics running make it work harder. When we had those really high heat indexes and the days where it was 90 before noon and the outside temp stayed above 90 for hours, it actually went up a couple of degrees from 73 to 75 for a couple of hours before going back down to 73, then finally cycling at around 8pm. I checked the temp slit and it was 16 degrees in the heat of the day and 20 degrees at nigh.
Going to be interesting to see if that activity holds together into the Bluegrass tonight. Right now, I’m thinking it will weaken before it gets here… but we’ll see.
