Good Thursday to one and all. It’s another day of isolated to scattered showers and storms across the bluegrass state. The bigger weather story in the short term will be the temperatures. We have a quick-hitting blast of cool before some very warm stuff. In the longer term… it continues to be about the abundance of rain chances and additional cool shots.<\/p>\n

Temps today will head toward the upper 70s to low 80s\u00a0for most of the state. Winds will be a bit gusty as a few showers or storms fire up.<\/p>\n

Friday finds a cold front crossing the state and this is likely to give us better coverage of the showers and storms.<\/p>\n

\"NAM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Locally heavy downpours and a strong storm or two will be possible. Highs will generally run in the mid to upper 70s as the clouds and drops move through.<\/p>\n

A shot of very cool air moves in behind this boundary to start the weekend. Lows by Saturday morning may dip into the upper 40s in a few spots. Look at the cool numbers from the GFS…<\/p>\n

\"GFS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out how far below normal that is…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty impressive to see that much real estate that far below normal.<\/p>\n

Afternoon highs will be very pleasant with middle to upper 70s for most of the state. The nice temps should come with a nice sky with sunshine taking over.<\/p>\n

Sunday will see temps back into the low 80s with an increase in humidity to boot. Thermometers early next week continue to warm and we COULD see some 90 degree temps for the first time this year. COULD is the key word here. The models have tried and failed to produce toasty temps on several occasions over the past month. The deciding factor on the temps may be the increasing potential for rounds of thunderstorms to roll in. That’s right… rounds of showers and storms will likely be around for much of the week.<\/p>\n

Look what else may come back by the end of next week…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right… another shot of cool air may engulf much of the region. This is a pattern that has not changed much from the one we’ve had since last fall. It’s seasonally adjusted, but the overall theme is very stable. We look to get frequent cold fronts moving our way through the summer.<\/p>\n

That also means frequent rounds of showers and storms. The latest CFS rainfall forecast through mid July…<\/p>\n

\"CFS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, the exact numbers and location will change from run to run. It’s the overall trend that’s key when looking at longer range models.<\/p>\n

Make it a great day and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
