Good Sunday everyone. We are set to close out the weekend with more of the same… hot humid temps with scattered showers and thunderstorms. The thunderstorms on Saturday turned out to just skirt our northern and northeastern counties. That should not be the case today into early in the new week.
The atmosphere continues to be juiced up with a ton of moisture available for any storm that blows up. This means torrential rains will be a good bet for areas getting in on storms over the next few days and this will likely cause local flooding concerns. In addition to the heavy rain threat… any one storm may briefly go severe and that’s something we will be watching for.
Temps outside of storms today will be 90ish with it feeling even hotter than that.Our temps are still expected to scale back several degrees for Monday and Tuesday before the hot weather makes another run at us by the middle and end of the week. It does not look to be as intense as what we just had… but plenty hot enough.
The plan for a cooler pattern as we head into August is still on. Mother nature will have the final say on things… but the forecast models are showing a milder signal. The numbers from the GFS Ensembles support this…
The first image shows the higher than normal temps from later this coming week into next weekend. Contrast that with the other shot from the same model for the following week. You can see how things look much more tame.
Guess what time it is? Yep… time to give you another dose of storm and temp tracking reality…

Updates coming your way as needed. Have a great Sunday and take care.
have a good vacation Chris. we could survive with the tracking tools for a couple days, take it easy.
Good storm rolling into my neck of the woods right now!
Thank you Chris! Enjoy your vacation.
Thanks, Chris! Hope to see a little rain here, if it will cool it off a bit…even temporarily! Relax, sit back, and enjoy your vacation!
It looks to be dancing around the perimeter of KY once again today with a few little exceptions….I had really hoped we’d get some rain today but it doesn’t look good!
kinda like a ring of fire we are the center and the rain and storms go around us
It is truly impressive that those storm were headed towards Central KY all day and now are heading south as they go into KY.

Someone needs to explain to me how rain diminishes with these high dewpoints. The dome must be tuning up for this years snow misses?
Not weather related, but sitting in orange leaf in hamburg and John Calipari just walked in.
I came on to post the same thing. Winter is coming, the dome has started to form.
This is just ridiculous. Rain approaches and then just fades away, leaving behind only it ghost- massive humidity. Thanks rain. HOW is this happening. I had visions of big storms then cool…ahhhhh.
I’m so sorry that had to happen. Counseling might help.
My condolences. I’m so sorry for you.
He owns part of the orange leaf stores. You will run into him there ALOT.
Yikes! Thanks for the warning!
Absolutely ridiculous lighting about 30 minutes ago here at Lansdowne and Tates Creek in Lex. Seems to be back building.
I spoke to soon earlier, east Frankfort has been pounded by rain & lightning for the past hour, I guess be careful for what you wish for. 2 in. atleast of rain WOW!
Thanks for the warning!
BOO! Calipari is the best thing to happen to UK since Pitino.
I might eat crow for this, but I think the snowdome is going to be demolished this winter.
