Good Thursday, folks. It’s another steamy day, but a few showers and thunderstorms are on the increase. This is a sign of things to come as our steamy and stormy setup kicks in for the long haul. The boomers are actually going to increase as we roll into our 4th of July week.
As always, let’s start with today and roll forward. Highs today will generally be in the mid and upper 80s with a 90 or so in some areas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will go up, especially this afternoon. A few strong storms will be noted and those can put down locally heavy rains. I will get your tracking toys in a bit.
The forecast through the rest of the week and into the weekend looks very similar to what we have going on out there today. Scattered boomers and steamy temps will rule the weather world during this time.
The pattern for the big 4th of July week continues to look like one that can produce rounds of showers and storms dropping in from the west and northwest…
The models are now coming around to this idea…
Obviously, that’s not a very good look as we head into one of the biggest holidays of the entire year.
Behind that setup, the Ensembles continue to advertise cooler air taking control once again…
Let’s get back to where we are today. I have you guys all set to do some Thursday thunder tracking…
Possible Watch Areas
Make it a great day and take care.
It looks and feels like Summer is finally here. However, at my place the current temperature is 66 degrees and the dew point at 63 degrees. Yesterdays high of 88 degrees was not that uncomfortable with the breeze and a sky painted with a few beautiful Cumulus clouds. A heat wave could be building early next week ? All depends if the high to our west and the high to our east join forces. Some forecasters are bringing in moisture from the Gulf between the two with more rain chances in our area. Very complicating, forecasting this new climate for the Ohio Valley.
A typical July forecast.
Yeah I agree typical summer pop up thunderstorms
And then you forgot your umbrella LOL
Had a phone conversation last evening from a long time friend in Wisconsin and he told me that this past Winter was severe in his area with a low temperature recorded at -26 degrees due to the Polar Vortex that slipped south and stopped near central Indiana before lifting east and northeast He had a good snow cover so most if not all of his plants came through the hard freeze due to snow insulation. This tells me that frigid Arctic air has not made it south for a long time into our area due to what ? I would say the westerlies along with warming surface sea temperatures have been keeping Winter away from entering our area along with other factors. Way to complicated for me, and my lack of meteorological knowledge doesn’t help. Sorry I went so long on this post.
I’ve never been to places like Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. but I would imagine they are beautiful this time of year. The trade off for months of ugliness.
Yeah, and the fishing is great too, just like Kentucky !
Ahhh 90s and 70s for Lows….20 percent chances of rain…Summer finally here.
When I was living in southwest Indiana the highs most Summers would be in the mid to upper 90’s and I’ve seen many days with lows in the 80’s along with high dew points in the mid 70’s and the relative humidity at 45 to 50 %. UGH ! Where I live now away from anywhere here in Kentucky the highs are mostly in the mid to upper 80’s and lows in the mid to upper 60’s and dew points in the low to mid 60’s. What a difference a little elevation makes 1060 feet.
Have a great afternoon and evening everyone !
