Good Thursday, folks. Steamy temps and rounds of storms continue to impact the region and we have a few more days of this before we change it up. Much bigger changes are lurking for next week as a deep trough tries to dig into the eastern half of the country.
Temps today range from the upper 80s to middle 90s with heat index values being much higher.
Clusters of showers and storms continue to rumble through the region and some of the storms may be strong or severe. Once again, it’s the damaging wind threat that is the main player for the entire region. Here’s where the Storm Prediction Center is focusing on today…
The threat continues into Friday, but it’s a lower end threat for most of the area. Here’s the Severe Weather Outlook from the SPC…
Showers and storms continue into Saturday with some additional local high water issues possible. Temps will come down over the weekend and it should feel pretty pleasant for many.
Temps rebound early next week but a deep trough shows up across the east by the middle and end of next week. Watch how the heat ridge goes to the west…

2022 in the Chinese calendar is the Year of the Tiger, but 2022 in ourneck of the commonwealth feels more like the Year of the Blowtorch!
Finally received some rain yesterday. Although not enough. Beggars cannot be choosy.
22 years ago, I moved from south central Louisiana for cooler climes in Kentucky.
This summer, I’m starting to feel like the Acadiana summer has followed me up here. At least we’ve had t-storms the past two days to cool things off in the late afternoon.
Regarding today’s forecast, to quote Digital Underground, it’s the same ol’ song, ya’ll….
Can you be in the middle of a story pattern and receive little to no rain? YES!
