Good Monday, everybody. We are getting closer to the launch of the brand new Kentucky Weather Center and I know you guys are stoked. \ud83d\ude42 I don’t have a date just yet, but I’ll let ya know when I know. In terms of the actual weather, we are tracking an increase in storms and the potential for a significant weekend cold front.<\/p>\n

Let’s start this party with a look at where we stand on the rainfall front. The latest soil moisture map shows our region in pretty good shape…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The northern part of the state is a little closer to normal for soil moisture with the rest of the state showing up in a lot of green. Why is that? Look at the rainfall anomalies on the year…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some areas of the state are pushing 20″ above normal since January 1st. This seems to be a yearly thing now across Kentucky. That said, if we don’t get 10″ of rain each week, the pathetic Drought Monitor will show us becoming the next Dust Bowl. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As far as the current weather goes, temps are back into the upper 80s and low 90s as a few storms go up. This isn’t terribly widespread, but any storm that’s out there can put down a lot of water in a short amount of time.A few of the storms may even be strong or severe. Here are your trackers…<\/p>\n
