Good Friday, everyone. We’ve made it to the end of the week and facing a weekend with more in the way of scattered showers and storms. If you’re sensing a wet trend, you’ve got a good feel for the pattern and this wetter than normal look is likely to continue.
Temps out there today are in the 80s once again for much of the region with a mix of sun and clouds taking over. There’s still the small chance for a shower or storm going up in the east, but this action looks few and far between.
Here are your radars to follow anything that pops up…
Scattered storms look to increase from west to east as we go into Saturday and a few of these may be strong or locally severe. The greatest risk is across western Kentucky and that’s where the Storm Prediction Center has a low-end risk for severe storms…
Scattered showers and storms will then continue into Sunday. This animation starts at 8am Saturday and goes through Sunday evening…
Better weather blows in for early next week as we see the jet stream taking some additional big dips through next week into next weekend…
That will eventually lead us into a pattern for more storms…
This wetter than normal pattern likely continues through the month and may extend into August. The GFS Extended goes through the first week of August and shows the entire region averaging above normal…
The EURO Weeklies go through August 20th and look similar…
Don’t forget all the ways you can follow your friendly weatherdude on social media..

Make it a great Friday and take care.
Thanks Chris. Would like to have more widespread Rains, but those weather types are rare in July and August. We will have to take what we receive. Overall, this Summer has not been that horrible in my area. I have seen worse Summers in my time. Any cold fronts that come through this time of the year only lower the dew points which keeps it comfortable.
Glad to see that you are expanding your Blog through social media, but for me the comment section of your Blog is good enough as long as there are other commentators to interact with.
I am not on Facebook & Instagram.
Is it possible to have a Threads App without the other two accounts?
Your better off without that extra media and so is your computer.
I don’t buy the extended models at all.
The models here lately have been close to being accurate.
Maybe so, but it still will be plenty hot and dry before long.

Sorry, my translator to post was turned on. I agree with Chris, it’s a muggy hot summer. What about the Canadian fires? When did that story vanish?

I was unable to find any up to date information on the wildfires in Canada. Which leads me to believe the media is just ignoring and not reporting on such for the left.
Canadian wildfire season usually starts in May & runs through October.
I am sure we will see more bouts of a smokey atmosphere.
Maybe as early as next week because the flow of the atmosphere is forecasted to change.
Yeah, we are forecast to enter another ‘ Omega Block ‘ and our areas will be east of the high pressure ridge which will result in the Northwest flow aloft bring more smoke and pollution from Canada.
I guess the Canadian wildfires are old news. Now on to the approaching dust storm.
