Good Tuesday, everybody. With a ground full of water, humidity levels have soared over the past few days and that continues today. This will help fire up a scattered shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon and evening hours. The storm chances go way up for the middle of the week as a strong cold front blows in from the northwest.
High temps today will surge well into the 80s for most of the region. Clouds and scattered storms will go up in the afternoon and that should put a cap on how high the numbers go. Regional radar will help you dodge today’s storms…
The storms will increase on Wednesday as the cold front inches closer. This pattern may deliver a few rounds of strong or severe storms late Wednesday into earl Thursday. Damaging winds, hail and torrential rains would be the main players.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of the state in a slight risk for severe storms for tomorrow…
Showers and storms will hang around into Thursday as cooler and drier air works in behind the front for the end of the week.
Where we go from there may depend on what goes on in the tropics. That’s where we have Tropical Storm Chantal. This storm is forecast to work close to the southeastern part of the country by the weekend…
Make it a great Tuesday and take care.
If you are a fan of hot, humid weather (I’m not but some are) today is your day. I forgot how oppressive 90 degrees with dewpoints in the 70’s felt!
You got that right.. Heat index already in the mid 90s.. I went out for 20 minutes and was drenching wet with sweat.
Storm Prediction Center is now considering a watch (likely a Severe T-Storm Watch) for Ohio including very near northern Kentucky. Indeed, a t-storm is currently over Covington KY.
The ground is already saturated so it won’t take too much to cause additional dangerous flash-flooding.
Of course, lightning is always a threat. As recently as the 1980s, lightning killed up to 100 people in an average year (now down to about 60). As the saying goes, when thunder roars, go indoors.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as soon as it gets dry enough to mow or work the garden we have a pop up storm sheesh
Sorry for you. Not had any rain since Saturday here…though the humidity would argue otherwise!
I guess unless its lightening tomorrow I will mow then
I did that on Sunday. Had to clean out underneath the mower afterwards and had to rake some spots, but got it done. Looks like it will have to be done again by Friday–so, I feel your pain!
I’m in an apartment for now, so management does the mowing for me 😉
That could change after my fiancée and I get married, if some kind of starter home becomes reality. But guess we should tackle only one big issue at a time (the wedding/marriage and then perhaps a home/mowing) 😉
