Good Thursday everyone and thanks for dropping by the blog. Mother nature has put things on autopilot as she continues to throw the same kind of weather at us each and every day. Warm to hot temps, high humidity and scattered storms have been, and will continue to be, common across the region.
Here is how I am expecting things to play out…
– Temps today will hit the upper 80s to lower 90s. Factor in the humidity levels and it will feel even hotter.
– A scattered thunderstorm will make an appearance to spice things up a bit. Any storm can have locally heavy rains and be slow movers.
– A front dips in on Friday and brings better coverage of showers and storms. These will also produce some heavy rain totals for some spots. Temps will come down several degrees from where we are today.
– The weekend looks mainly dry with temps on the way back up.
– Readings from Sunday into Monday should be able to top 90 degrees for many.
– That heat will get beaten back to the west and southwest by a cold front moving in by Tuesday or Wednesday. This will also bring the threat for showers and thunderstorms back in here and should kick off a much more active storm pattern for the middle of the month.
That brings us to the autopilot of the program and give you the daily tracking toys…
Current Temps
Have a great Thursday and take care.

I saw an interesting stat from the NWS. Today is the 188th day of the year. Lexington has recorded measurable precipitation (>=0.01″) 85 days this year, or about 45% of the year.
Seattle has had 106 days.
Quillayute WA has had 133 days.
…and one of my favorite places in Washington – Forks has recorded measurable precip 142 days out of 188 (or every 3 days out of 4)
from what I’ve been told, Seattle is a very nice place to be in the summer…80 degrees, sunny, no humidity.
The rest of the year, not as much.
Each passing day gets us closer to the flakes flying!!! WINTER’S COMING!!! Chris what you think about the upcoming winter?
Enough of this winter talk! It’s the middle of July, people! 🙂 I am loving the warm weather; the humidity not so much. But humidity is much better than 4 inches of ice, in my book. Have a great day everyone, and I hope the ones who need the rain get some today. The radar is lighting up like crazy.
Dumb Question:
On the HPC site: How can the day one precipitation total be MORE than on the day one thru five map of combined five day total precipitation?
It’s never too early to talk about winter! Haha 😉
Could be that the Day 1 outlook graphics was updated before the 5-day outlook graphics. The 5-day update should be out soon if not already.
I sure wish some of this rain would stop by Versailles. My garden is soo thirsty.
On another note….Chris Bailey you were teasing us about coming back to Lexington. What gives? Haven’t seen anything else about this anywhere???
