Good Thursday, everybody. We’re heading back into a familiar pattern in the coming days… one that features rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This action gets started out there today and looks to continue all the way into the first half of next week. At least we will be keeping the warm temps… for now.
Today’s boomers will increase during the afternoon and evening as a weak cold front drops in from the north. This front will never make it through the region as it puts the brakes on. Here’s the regional radar to follow today’s storms…
Higher humidity levels will continue to work into the region and combine with the stalled out front to create additional showers and storms over the next several days.
Any storm that goes up can be on the strong side and put down heavy downpours. Highs through the weekend will range from the upper 70s to low 80s. It’s not going to rain all the time, but it will come down at a good rate when it does.
Showers and storms will become more widespread as we head into early next week and that’s when the threat for severe weather may finally push in. More heavy rain will be possible and the GFS is showing a wet pattern over the next few weeks…
The models are still suggesting the potential for a cutoff low to form across our region toward the end of next week and beyond…
Have a great Thursday and take care.
Thanks, Chris. I caught the line about no coolers temps–yet. I hope that whatever your information is, is changes. Finally got brave and took the winter blanket off the bed. Don’t want to have to put it back on there! 😉
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Today is mostly cloudy at the moment, but still ice and warm, so I will take it. Have a great Thursday, everyone.
Thunderstorm popping up here in Nicholasville.
Ahh–June in May. Highs in the low to mid 80’s lows in the low to mid 60’s. I only hope we get May in June as an exchange.
Nice little thunderstorm just came through Frankfort, Lightning was a little dangerous though! Looks like we better get use to this type of unsettled weather for a while!
Duh Question of the Day…. I used to receive text message updates from our wonderful weatherman but recently changed phone service which required a new number. For the life of me, I can’t remember where I sign up for the text messages…. HELP!
Rounds of storms have dropped the temp to 66 in Lawrenceburg but very little rain so far. Keep this coming–cool and cloudy. I’ll take it all summer!
Been raining steady for over a hour in east Frankfort, radar shows more to come, 30 percent chance was forecast this morning?????
A 30% chance means that at any given location, with the conditions we’re facing that day, there is a 30% chance that it will rain. It doesn’t mean anything about how much rain will come if we land in that 30%.
Frankfort has had 100% , we just had a major lightning strike here in east Frankfort, fire trucks are in the hood!
Four drops of rain in Richmond today—–guess it can wait, we’re still above normal in the rainfall department.
