Good Thursday to one and all. It’s another pleasant early fall feeling day across the bluegrass state, but Labor Day weekend may offer up something a little different. That’s when a few showers creep back into the picture. Those showers are ahead of another push of cooler than normal air.
Temps out there today start in the 50s and end in the middle 70s for many. Skies look absolutely gorgeous and this looks to carry over into Friday. Check out those lows to start the day…
The threat for a few showers shows up from west to east on Saturday and that chance continues into Sunday…
The timing on those showers may impact college football games on Saturday as we kick off a brand spanking new season. With the clouds and some showers, temps will will be held in check.
Another system will then drop in here early next week and that’s being pushed by a much bigger blast of cooler air…
These troughs are deep for this time of year…
As far as the tropics are concerned, we have Larry way out in the Atlantic and that’s likely to stay an ocean storm. The system that tries to get into the southern Gulf of Mexico needs to be watched…
Have a great Thursday and take care.
Thanks Chris, glad we are getting a break from the tropical weather. Having tropical weather in the Ohio Valley is just not right, but with the longer nights ahead, that will finally dissipate hopefully.
I read an article that the overall average temperature of the Earth has warmed one degree F. over a hundred year period and we haven’t become close to coming out of the last ICE AGE. Interesting read, but I don’t know how to link it to the present climate.
The upcoming Fall and Winter will depend on ENSO phases which is always subject to change month by month along with all the teleconnections (PDO, EPO, AO, NAO etc…..) A lot of “want a be climatologist” are making their annual long range forecast for the Fall and Winter and like every year the forecast are all different. I’m hoping for whatever happens.
Schroeder, There’s a lot of unknowns about this so call warmer climate theory. I remember back in the 60’s the scientist were saying were entering another ice age due all the cold snowy winters we had in the 60’s and the 70’s. Then in late 80’s and early 90’s they were saying the outer cities by the ocean would be under water by the turn of the century. Welll here it is 2021 nothing has come close to either of those theory. But we are seeing some signs of it and again it could be another weather cycle that has endure our earth since the beginning..
I agree with what you said in your reply to my comment.
What can you say about what happened with Ida as she hit the Northeast? Seems that she was devastating in LA, but then slowed a bit through Kentucky and middle states. After that did she greatly intensify again? Was it because she got access to water again when she reached NY and NJ? Or was she that strong all along the journey?
As the remnants of Ida approach the Atlantic she combined with a disturbance off the Jersey shore and a new storm formed to cause all the flooding and a very rare tornado.
