Good Tuesday, everyone. It’s the final day of May and temps are on the toasty side to wrap up the month. June looks to kick off with big changes as strong storms and a cold front get ready to crash in here, changing up the temp pattern behind it.
Temps today are back into the 85-90 degree range with a mix of sun and clouds. Winds are still rather gusty .
Temps on Wednesday are likely back into the same temp range, but clouds will begin to show up during the afternoon and could stifle the temps just a bit. The threat is there for a line of strong to severe storms to fire to our northwest. This may drop southward toward the Ohio River by evening and the Storm Prediction Center has a low-end risk for severe storms for part of the state…
This system will fire off some pretty good storms well to our west today and your radars are on duty to track them…
You may also see an isolated storm going up across Kentucky today, but the odds are fairly low.
The aforementioned front slowly moves in here on Thursday with more in the way of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temps come down with great weather behind this for Friday and Saturday. Below normal numbers, low humidity and blue skies sound good to ya?
The threat for scattered storms will move back in late Sunday and Monday and this likely kicks off a fairly active pattern through the middle of the month.
The GFS rainfall map through June 14th shows this well…
The GFS Ensembles have the same thought…
And the control run of the EURO Ensembles…
This likely comes during a tame summer temp pattern.
The GFS Ensembles have below normal numbers for the June 3-13th period…
The EURO Ensembles aren’t as cold, but normal to a bit below…
Have a great last day of May and take care.
As long as I can mow this weekend, all is well. 😉
The Weather Channel is showing that our region will have above average temperatures for June. I like Chris’s prediction much better.
I wonder what the model the Weather Channel is using? Maybe they have their own in house model.
Well probably if they go by airport thermometers that record the actual temps….Yesterday KLEX was 4 degrees warmer than the Mesonet. I’m not sure if it’s the location is warmer because of the airport OR something’s up with the thermometer.
