Good Tuesday, everyone. Flooding rains smacked parts of central and eastern Kentucky again Monday. High water reports were common with rainfall of 1″-4″ on the day. We are about to turn the faucet off as a fall cold front rolls in here later today. This front will bring the coolest air of the summer to our region… and that’s saying something.
Scattered storms today will be along and ahead of a cold front that settles southward during the afternoon and evening. The greatest threat for storms will be across the southern half of the area and we could see a few more big time downpours. Here’s regional radar…
The air behind this front has the potential to set record lows from Wednesday through Friday. Check out the numbers…
Lows may drop into the mid and upper 40s in several spots during this time. Wow… that would be some chilly stuff for the middle of August.
The pattern this weekend into early next week is a bit murky because of the possibility of something tropical developing down in the Gulf. We will have to see how that goes, but a lot of the models have some sort of closed low developing across our region this weekend…
That should create, at least, scattered showers and thunderstorms. Yippee!
Have a great Tuesday and take care.
That was some crazy lightning last evening……..We had two different heavy rain events yesterday……..perhaps 1 to 2 inches in my area in northwest Lexington.
Ready and waiting for the cooler less humid weather, windows will be opening, AC thankfully can rest a few days 🙂
Wow! I knew we had had a bunch of rain in Lawrenceburg…http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lmk&storyid=96584&source=0
