Good Tuesday, folks. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms have been rolling across the bluegrass state over the past few days. These bad boys have been putting down a ton of water in a short amount of time. Additional boomers are on the way today and another round or two of heavy rain is sure to fall.
Parts of the state picked up 2″-3″ of water on Monday and experienced high water. The flash flood threat is back with us today as a few spots could see similar results. Let’s track the storms…
The heavy rain train will come to an end later tonight into Wednesday. That’s when some refreshing air blows back in here for a day or two.
Much warmer and more humid air will try to fight in here by late week into the coming weekend. High humidity will join the party that is likely to feature a few more guests… scattered thunderstorms.
The European Model is cranking out some action by Friday…
The real deal heat will stay to our west, but it will try to toast up around here. If you are big on trends forecasting… the trend of the summer has been for the heat to stay to our west with cold fronts having an easy time working into the bluegrass state. This is something we’ve talked about on since the spring and it’s something that shows no real sign of changing soon. Here’s the European Model for next Tuesday…
Yes… that’s another front dropping across the state with more showers and thunderstorms.
While I’m thinking about it… anyone interested in seeing some VERY early long range computer models for fall and winter? Those are always fun to look at, if nothing else. If you want to see them… speak up or forever be snowless. 🙂
Have a great day and take care.
I want to see them I am ready for fall and winter….
im counting down till fall too. i alway do that in summer for some reason. i think i love the fall and winter seasons the best , but by the time spring and summer gets here, im ready for those too.
my vote is yeah, share some long range maps, just for fun purposes. 😀
at some point i fear we are going to pay for the severe storm drought we are in. ky hasnt had much of a severe weather season, which is not what i expected with the cold that hung around for as long as it did , all the way up into beginning of april, then the various cool downs after that.
thanks chris for the update.
Thankfully our part of the country is transiting from the period of stronger spring tornadoes. Based on past climate, from roughly this time until late autumn, stronger twisters will tend to stay closer to the Great Lakes and northern plains.
Of course, our summers can still have flash flooding, derechos, and a few weaker tornadoes.
If spring 2013 was so lacking in severe wx, one might wonder if next spring could be the opposite. Hope not.
YEP, break em out, im just about done with the warm,already excited that the days are going to start getting shorter 🙂 almost ready for UK FOOTBALL,TAILGATING, AND FALL!!!!!!!!!
Bring it on!!!
Yes. Please post the models about fall and winter. At the very least, they will be interestingly entertaining!
I want to see snow maps!!! Give me snow on Labor Day, make it extreme!!!
Oh CB, you’re such a tease! 🙂 Let’s see those models for some fun!
Oh,yeah! Please post the winter models. Thank-you very much.
Give it a rest and just enjoy the season we are in. Besides, the winter models are always wrong.
Love the very very long range model. No rain or very minimal here in No. ky at 71&75
I’d like to see some long range forecasts CB:)
Yes, let’s see them
I’ll take the summer warmth as long as possible, and mild winters 😉
The SPC has northern Kentucky under a slight risk of severe weather today. Large hail and damaging winds are the threats with the highest chances.
Yes, with the fall and winter forecast? Bring it on!!!
Would LOVE to see the long range forecasts. I’m a band mom, so my entire fall is spent outdoors. I would think that with all the rain we have had, we’ll have gorgeous fall colors this year.
I want to see the winter forecasts. I’m a snow lover.
Yes, bring on those new fall and winter reports. :}
Let the winter long-range forecasts begin! Hope we get some good snows this year. All we had last year were near misses and no-show snows.
Yes, please. Always interested in those fall/winter forecasts. Thanks!
A winter teaser…and still five months ’til November. :/ It’s all Christmas in July season. This summer hasn’t been too oppressive yet. It’s helping me pace myself in terms of not wanting winter yet. LR models look decent for this part of the country…but as we all know…take it with a BIG grain of salt and don’t let your hopes get up. Take everything for what it’s worth. CB is one of the best is conveying this in his posts. 😀
One mention of winter from Chris and the blog lights up. LOL!
Bring out the long range…hopefully snow for the south..since Ive moved to athens tn…They tell me here snow is a rare event…lol…I said oh well just like back in ky. then….lol…lol…
Good to hear from you again, Tim! Didn’t know you had moved, you’re just up the road from where I spent my teen years (Cleveland TN). My parents still live there.
Chattanooga/Cleveland TN area got an eight inch snowstorm in Jan 2011 (same storm that crippled Atlanta). Also had the April 27 2011 tornado outbreak. The infamous Ringgold Georgia twister missed my parents by about eight miles.
How do you think your move might affect what team you will cheer for, 😉 ?! I pretty much grew up a Tennessee fan. Then I went to WKU in Bowling Green and found myself supporting not only WKU but sometimes Kentucky (especially when KY won NCAA a year ago). Now that I’m in Nashville, I’ve been to Vandy football games!
I bleed blue..lol
Yes please let’s see those bad boys!!!!!!!!!! Where is Rolo?????????
Milking his billy goat.
Snow thoughts in June, no thanks, Winters in ky are too disappointing if you like snow! We can’t even trust a map or a model 2 days out in January?
Same here, bit too early to get excited, even think about snow.
That’s the TRUTH!!!!!!
I can see it right now:
It’s a Tuesday in January with the possibility of snow coming up on a Thurs………..It’s way to early for details………and the storm is two days out at that point……..
I guess long range maps are fun to look at, but too hard to trust.
My winter thoughts just left last month and I like to take things slow and not rush to wimpy winters in Kentucky. I LOVE snow and cold but too early. We’re barley getting into summer. Remind me of winter in September. Nothing against CB but I would prefer to hold it off in a couple of months. Also don’t like the controversy on this blog in winter on every one of CB’s post. (The comments, NOT CB)
Well, yea I want to see those maps and get your thoughts about the upcoming fall and winter. I need to know how long I can push my garden this year.
we did get more snow in my back yard this past winter then I did the year before but would really like to have even more snow this next winter!!!!! 🙂
Yes Chris you truly are a cold cruel man. Last winter the snow forecast 7 days away always looked great but never materialized. So lets see how January looks 7 months away. Bring on the forecast.
SNOW!!!!
Nice little thunder shower came thru Frankfort, not much rain in my hood but I’m sure their are some who got a lot more than my area!
The storm decided to make a donut around my house in Lexington, just light rain the whole time.
