Good Sunday everybody. We are wrapping up the weekend on another pleasant temperature note with readings staying below where they should be for this time of year. The cooler than normal readings have been rather common for the past few weeks and that trend looks to carry us into much of the upcoming week.
Temps today will hit the upper 70s and low 80s again under partly sunny skies. We will see more clouds today than what we had Saturday as an area of low pressure works across the Tennessee Valley. This should throw enough moisture into the state to produce a scattered shower or thunderstorm later today into Monday. The higher chances will be across the east and southeast.
Similar high temps will be noted for Monday into Tuesday.
One of the driving forces in our recent run of below normal temps has been blocking across Greenland. This -NAO ,as it’s known, will begin to break down late this week. I find it interesting that all the models still hold on to lower heights and a baggy trough across the eastern part of the country. Check out the European Model 500mb Height Anomaly Forecast…
Let’s take that one step further by using the GFS Ensembles 11-15 day…
There is still no blocking over Greenland, but the lower than normal heights continue across the eastern half of the country. If the above maps are correct, it is going to be awfully hard to get any sustained hot weather across our part of the world before this month is over.
Have a great Sunday and take care.
Good riddance summer….looking foreward to fall. Football, campfires, and frost on the pumpkin.
Me to joe had enough of this hot summer ready for fall and hopefully a white winter hopes its not a repeat of last winter that was depressing folks our little town of west liberty don’t need it still breaks my heart to go thought there it’s so bare all the building are coming down so many memories……
I am not ready for summer to end yet but if we don’t have another day with 90 degrees or warmer that won’t bother me a bit.
I drove through West Liberty yesterday on the way back from a trip in SE Kentucky…that was quite the imperfect storm so to speak. A ton of work is still needed to recover that town….i hear Coach Cal and others helped raised some money to help the folks there in the recovery but I am sure it is just a small percentage of what is needed based on what I saw.
Looks like the drought that is making a comeback in Central KY will be the news again, hoping this dry weather goes away before the leaf turn and possible fire danger. The color will be ugly this fall if we cant get some normal rain amounts.
At his point, I usually have a decent idea for how the winter might play out and will admit, the Bubbacast for winter has been decently accurate through the last eight years.
For this winter, I have NO clue. Not been able to say that before, but will admit instead of a 30% guess, it would be a 90% guess this time. Truly lost now, or always was lost and just now becoming aware of it.
Is it the same forecast as the last yrs ? LOL
Old please don’t say that we are in for the same as last winter….
Absolutely pouring in Perry Co.
