Good Friday, my weather friends. Here’s hoping this finds each of ya having a wonderful end to the week. Rounds of showers and storms have been common over the past few days and that’s been the theme of the summer. If you’re looking for a change in the coming days… keep looking. If you’re looking for a winter hint… look no more. I have one. 😉
A front is entering the picture today and will slowly put the brakes on. Showers and storms will continue to come at us in clusters. These clusters will put down torrential rains that can continue to cause local high water issues. Here’s your regional radar…
Lexington will break into the top 10 wettest summers on record today and will continue to climb the ladder through the rest of the month. I think we can squeeze our way into the top 5 before all is said and done. How did the winters turn out after a top 10 wettest summer? While we did have a few clunkers (1974 and 1998)… we had several blockbuster winters that followed. I will get into all of that next week.
Why do I think Lexington can crack the top 5 wettest summer list? Here ya go…
GFS 2 week rainfall forecast…
That pretty much says it all.
Have a great Friday and take care.
So, Chris, do you think it will rain? 😉 Wow! Been a long time it seems since we have had a few nice days pieced together in a row. Would really like to see a few more. But I am learning to run between the drops, for the most part. Hope it holds off for Fan Day, though. Thanks, Chris, for all you do. Have a great Friday, everyone.
A trace of rain over nite in my area of Frankfort, seems like the rains hit and also miss the same areas everyday!
Todd: Be thankful! I for one am tired of mowing every six day when we get into August. We don’t need any rain right now. A few brown spots in the yard as we go into August and September is not such a bad thing!
.20 inch of rain the last 10 days in my yard, we could use just a half inch or so to keep the garden happy, I know a lot of folks has seen terrible flooding and I want no part of that!
My yard was starting to turn brown so I was glad to get .5 inches last night. That’s all that we’ve had here so a bit more is fine by me. We have been the “miss” of the hit or miss pattern.
I might go the entire summer season without having to water anything in my yard. On the flip side, I have to mow every other day.
No complaints. 🙂
Test
I will make it short. I have only received a trace of rain here in Louisville all week.
I’m guessing you tried to post a longer comment but it didn’t go up. Same has happened to me lately sometimes.
Every comment is different about how much or little rain there has been. Here in semi-central (a little west) Lexington has had a doughnut hole with very heavy rain in north and south lately but not here in west central with half an inch and 1.5-2 for the rest.
Still haven’t seen any rain in my area worthy of the flash flood watch that was issued but that’s not a bad thing I guess
Has anyone noticed how fast Fall is coming upon us? The leaves are changing earlier than I have ever seen….interesting-what does it mean?
mild winter 😉
