Good Monday everyone. Our new work week is starting out a lot like last week with rounds of showers and thunderstorms rolling in from the northwest. We will have all your tracking toys as some of the storms today into Tuesday will ramp up a bit.
More on the storms in a bit. I want to give some quick thoughts on where the pattern is going in terms of temps. We will have a cold front pass through here Tuesday and this will keep knock this latest attempt by the heat the surge in here. Temps for mid week should continue to the trend of below normal.
The next surge of heat has a better shot at actually moving in here by the end of the week into the start of the upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend. The weekend may start with temps 90 or better for much of the region. That said… it shouldn’t last but a day or two as another cold front moves in around the 4th and brings the pleasant temps back.
You can see this trend very well here on the temp anomaly maps from the GFS ensembles
The heat just does not want to settle in around here and that is a trend that is likely to hold this summer. We got things off to a blistering start with plenty of 90s in late May into the first week of June. Since then… temps have been below normal on more days than not.
Back to the storm threat of today. Clusters of storms will likely roll in from the northwest today into Tuesday and some of these will contain damaging winds and large hail. Torrential rainfall will also be likely and this can lead to local flash flooding.
Here is your daily dose of storm tracking tools…

Here comes another MCS. Looks like this June is going to wrap up almost identical to June 2010 in the LEX area. Here’s hoping July is equally as wet as July 2010. The gardens need it.
keep the rain up there for a week or so we don’t need it down here
Our July of 2010 was bone dry. I want rain whenever we can get it but the radar links show a rather scary looking system heading this way. I can do without the scary!!
Wendy-Mercer, if you are out there, our filly ran at CD on Sunday. Very, very slow to start and very confused and green, as a first timer often is. She got her act together after going six wide on the turn so we are not too upset. She was barely blowing after the race.
I don’t think I ever got her name from you. Just looked up CD charts. I’m guessing she’s Mollie’s Prize in race 7? 4th isn’t too shabby for a first time starter. Congrats!
Wendy, it’s Gimmeshoktreatment in the 8th race. We are Bad Girl Racing Stable! 🙂
It was our jockey’s 14th career ride but she can’t make apprentice weight and was actually one pound over.
Back to weather, the first system wasn’t so bad but Todd Borak is expressing concern over the second system and the fact that we now have sunshine. No scary weather, please!
A watch for Western KY and Ctrl/SCtrl KY is coming shortly. Look for increasing development of the MCS remnants in SE Missouri with a damaging wind threat with embedded bows. Storms look to move E/ESE. Link to Mesoscale Discussion is below.

STW until 8:00, Lex to Lou, southwest.
Looks like this will stay too far west to get in on the action this afternoon….whats the chances for EKY over the next few days?
