Good Saturday folks and thanks for dropping by the blog. It is another day of tracking storms across the state as a cold front finally sweeps across the region. This is likely to spawn more strong and severe storms that can cause some issues before a very welcome change moves in for the next few days.
Let’s give you a quick breakdown of the weekend…
– Scattered storms will be likely much of today and any storm can go severe with damaging winds and large hail possible.
– A more pronounced line of showers and storms will be possible later this afternoon into the evening hours as a cold front moves in. Another round of severe storms will be possible.
– Any storm that goes up today can put down a whole lot of water in a short amount of time. This can lead to local high water concerns.
– This front will usher in a refreshing change for Sunday into Monday as our temps come WAY down. Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s will be likely with much lower humidity. The NAM is really digging this cool shot…
– Lows Monday into Tuesday will dip into the low and mid 50s.
Back to the here and now and the threat for strong or severe storms today. We have you hooked up with the usual tools of tracking…

Never thought I would have said this considering the spring we’ve had here in Somerset, but I am praying for some rain. Jackson office of NWS is not giving us much hope here for much precip. 30% last I saw. Regardless everyone stay safe from the potential severe weather today & this evening!!
Please rain, come my way!
Richmond sits dry—starting on our third week without rain now…I think it’s been 17 days?
You must not live on the side of the by-pass near the old Richmond Mall. I was in a formidable storm burst there yesterday around 5:30pm. 1″ of rain in about 10-15 minutes plus wind driven hail bad enough people were hiding in car washes (like me)
Rollo, this one’s for you. Went to Keeneland today to bet the Belmont and other races. Things were not going well. Then, the wife goes to one of those machines, inserts a $10.00 bill to make a $2.00 exacta box bet. Gets her ticket, presses “finish,” and out pops a cash voucher for $540.00. Needless to say, we bought a powerball ticket on the way home.
Oh well, was hoping for rain in Somerset but it looks like a dry run even though the northern & eastern part of Pulaski got quite a bit of rain. Starting to get dry in Twin Lakes subdivision. If no rain tonight, then I guess we’ll have to wait till at least Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
Darn. Lexington missed out on the rain today. Looks like there’s small chances here and there in most of the 7-day forecasts I’ve seen. They way the past 3 weeks have gone I doubt we’ll see any.
Yea…..I’ve been trying to figure out why the past few days the storms have been to the SOUTH and NORTH while the front was still quite a bit north of us.
My dad in western NC has had storms for 2 days, and the front was in OHIO?
