Good Tuesday to one and all. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to increase across the state today and will really get going over the next few days. The clusters of storms will pack a bit of a punch with a lot of lightning and heavy rainfall. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before this summer.
Temps today will top out from 80-85 degrees with a scattering of showers and storms. The farther west you live, the better the chance of seeing rain today. Regional radar…
Clusters of storms will roll eastward across the state Wednesday through Friday. The NAM is all over the first cluster arriving by Wednesday afternoon…
The European Model says to the NAM “I got your back” …
Here’s what the European looks like for Friday…
Moral of the story… the potential is there for a lot of water to fall before the week is over. Some 1″-3″ totals will be likely and that may cause some rises on creeks and streams.
Overnight lows will be rather mild with temps around 70… afternoon highs will still be pleasant in the upper 70s to low 80s. You will notice a big increase in the muggy factor, though.
Make it a great Tuesday and take care.
I suppose a few days of dryness in the summer make a big difference. I was noticing some brown yards on my way from Lexington to Lawrenceburg on U.S. 62 last night. Hard to fathom there are dry spots with all the rain we have had this summer. On a side note, loved my 54 degree temp yesterday morning!
Thanks, Chris. I think the old adage about KY weather being so changeable is not really applying at this time. We seem to be repeating the same old thing over and over, at least this summer. We have been pretty fortunate here in our part of the state though, not a lot of rain at once, so we are about due, I think. In any event, I will be keeping a close eye on the radar you have posted, and for your tweets. Thanks for all you do. Have a great Tuesday, everyone!
Can we have some more fall/winter hits please oh Weather Wizzard?
Sorry for the typo. Not *hits* but hints.
The Paducah office of the NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch for its jurisdiction (western Kentucky as well as southwestern Indiana, southern Illinois, southeastern Missouri).
Please be careful, especially at night when it’s harder to notice flooding. As the saying goes, Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
This is an anomaly for this summer. A “trace” of rain officially for Lexington so far this month. My yard in Lawrenceburg agrees. Nice to have a break from mowing–looks like that won’t be the case next week!
