Good Monday, folks. It’s a really pleasant brand of air blowing into the region today and this takes us through the middle of the week. The pattern grows much more active once the calendar flips to July and that means the threat for thunderstorms will be around for the big 4th of July holiday weekend.
Let’s begin, as usual, with what’s going on out there today.
Our cold front is pushing to our south and taking any remaining shower or storm with it. Still, a little action may be around early today in the far south and southeast. Your friendly radars have you covered…
Low humidity, pleasant temps and an awesome sky follow from north to south today. Many areas stay in the 70s this afternoon and that sets the stage for a cool night ahead. Actually, the next two mornings look rather cool…
The numbers rebound by the end of the week as very steamy air shows up. This is also when the pattern turns active and that looks to continue through the 4th of July weekend and beyond. Check out the EURO showing the rounds of storms starting late Friday and going through July 6th…
Rainfall numbers during that time…
If we look deeper into the first 10 days of July, the EURO Ensembles offer up some hope for above normal rainfall. The average of the 51 members…
The control run of the EURO Ensembles is super stormy looking…
I don’t think any of us would turn that down, would we? Don’t answer, that’s rhetorical. 😜
Things are also getting busy in the tropics with the potential for a couple of systems to pop over the next week…
We’re likely heading into another super active hurricane season, folks.
Enjoy your Monday and take care.
I am happy I received some rain yesterday.
And the future forecast looks decent .
High and Dry here in Taylor County, but glad you had some much needed Rain. No Rain expected in my local forecast this week, but the temperatures will be at least be tolerable until the weekend.
Agreed, the Atlantic Hurricane Season will be above normal thanks to a continuing La Nina pattern. I just wish we could get on the remains of a Tropical Storm before the situation locally becomes an Agricultural Disaster.
Yesterday morning, when radar showed a large complex of thunderstorms ahead of the cold front in E. Missouri. & W. Kentucky, I thought that we’d finally caught a break in terms of receiving some badly needed rain. But as is usually the case, it completely disappeared as it approached Warren County.
Today will make it 22 days in a row with no measurable rain! Tomorrow is also the 10th anniversary of four straight days of record breaking heat. I can’t help but think how much this Summer resembles the Summer of 2012

The position of the Bermuda High Pressure Ridge is responsible for dissipating those rain / showers that formed along the cold front out of East Missouri and Western Kentucky.
Taylor County hasn’t received a soaking rain for I don’t know for how long and it’s beginning to get serious for the Agriculture Community.
I went through the drought 1987 to 1990 in Southwest Indiana and I don’t think this one currently will last that long. I hope.
