Good Thursday, folks. It’s the final day of September and the month is going on on a rather pleasant note for most of the region. As we head into October, the pattern features an increase in showers and storms with a pattern likely to stay unsettled through the first week or so of the new month.
As always, let’s begin with what’s happening out there today and then roll it forward.
Temps remain on the seasonably warm side, but a few more clouds will be noted. There’s even the chance for a few showers and storms to show up across areas of western Kentucky. Here’s your daily dose of radars to help ya out…
Friday will then feature a few more storms going up in the west, but the rest of the state looks to be in pretty good shape for day one of October.
The setup for the later half of the weekend and into next week continues to look pretty damp and could bring quite a bit of rain to our region and much of the eastern half of the country. Scattered showers and storms will increase from west to east here on Saturday, but this isn’t even close to a washout. As a matter of fact, the farther east you live, the better the chance at a mainly dry day. Showers and storms then increase and become more widespread Sunday into Monday.
Here’s the EURO…
From there, this upper level system looks to camp out over us or very near us through most of next week. As this happens, something tropical may flare up off the southeastern seaboard with that moisture possible getting entrained into the upper low.
Look at the EURO from Tuesday through next Saturday…
Exactly where that upper low sets up is still a work in progress, so stay tuned.
I may drop by for another update later today. Make it a great last day of September and take care.
The Storm Chaser Map Radar sure shows a lot of ground clutter and false echoes for whatever reason sometimes during the late night/early morning hours. At 2:15 AM local time, it’s showing several areas of heavy storms across NE Illinois, but in reality, the sky is clear and the nearest rain is in Western Iowa.
The AccuWeather radar does a lot better job of eliminating the ground clutter and false echoes.
The radar on Chris Bailey blog is the best and most accurate to the second. Never had seen ‘ground clutter’ on the radar he presents each and everyday.
I look up Accuweather and found their outlook for the up coming Fall and Winter and they had very little to say about the Fall and Winter here in the Ohio Valley. One map showed NO Snow for the Ohio Valley and another showed a ‘warm and wet Fall and Winter.’
Mike you may be the only one to report Snowfall totals on this Blog.
Never say never, there was a loop over the weekend that covered the state in clutter lol It happens
Yep! That’s why I pay more attention to the AccuWeather Radar that CB has on here rather than the storm chaser radar.
