Good Tuesday everyone and thanks for dropping by KWC. Our temperature change from Sunday to Monday was beyond dramatic as some areas went from the 100s to the upper 70s. This cooler weather is going to hang around for a while and it looks to bring a running mate to the pattern change party. All signs point toward a much wetter period taking shape this week into next week and that is EXACTLY what we need. Now, let’s sit back and see how if it really plays out.
The cold front that swept through here Sunday night has stalled out across the Tennessee Valley. This means the best threat for showers and storms today into Wednesday will be across the southern half of the state. Isolated stuff will be possible farther north. Temps today and tomorrow will range from the low and mid 80s for areas getting in on some clouds and rain to the upper 80s to around 90 for those who don’t.
The boundary to our south is likely to slowly drift northward into Kentucky by Thursday and Friday. Ripples of low pressure will work eastward along this front and help enhance the shower and storm action. The models have been all over this for a while and the boys and girls from the HPC have jumped on board. Here’s their latest rainfall forecast through Saturday…
If the GFS is to be believed… there could be a lot more to come. Check out the last few runs of the model for the next two weeks…
While I never take those kind of numbers to heart… it would be fair to assume the models are suggesting a much wetter and stormier pattern around here. Let’s see how it plays out.
Let’s get you set to track today’s action…

Current Temperatures

Have a great Tuesday and take care.
Looking forward to it Chris!! Us folks here in Anderson County didn’t see a single DROP with this last bout of rain. Hopefully the rest of the week will deliver for everyone.
have to see it to believe it
Got a nice little soaker this morning looks like another on the way w0ot w0ot
Friday. Friday is the day…
Looks like this morning and around noon for me looking at the radar
2.5 inches of rain this morning here in barbourville with major flash flooding occuring here on hwy 1304 !!! With more heavy rain about to slam us again !
looking at the radar looks like we may be dealing with 3 rounds today Timmy
Tim, What are the chances that if it was winter, you’d be the only one in on a heavy snow? LOL
Lovin’ those rainfall models. I’d be happy with half those totals.
At this point the rain has come to late to do any good, this years corn is a throwaway.
well it looks like the rain we were gonna get this afternoon has fizzled out
but thankful for the nice rain we had this early AM
Temps in the 90s here, 93 at my house right now. So much for the 80s. I knew the rock hard, hot ground that didn’t see any rain last weekend would inflate temps.
didn’t even hit 80 here either but we were in the 70s
After watching the rain fizzle the last few days around the Frankfort area, this proves the DOME effect lives in summer also!
It was 95 degrees here in Louisville today so really, not exactly cool weather. As for the models and forecast for rain, well, I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not holding my breath.
Anyone else having problems with KY Mesonet site the last day or so?
