Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this Saturday evening/night. I've had a very busy past few days and was unable to put up a blog post but I'm back now and I will start posting everyday again. Anyways Friday and Saturday was two very beautiful days and you can wake up to another one tomorrow!
Sunday temperatures will rise to the mid and upper 80s for highs under mostly sunny skies. There will be that slight risk for a pop up shower or thunderstorm much like today. Other than that we're looking at another beautiful day out there and I don't know about you all but I will be hitting the lake ;).
Monday and Tuesday will be our next best shot at showers and thunderstorms. A cold front will move through the area sparking off some showers and thunderstorms ahead of the front. Temperatures will come down just a bit during the first part of your week, but by the end of the week temperatures may really spike up into the low 90s for highs! Wow! Summer is just around the corner.
As always if any showers or thunderstorms go up tomorrow I will send out a quick post on facebook. No matter where I will be I never take a day off. Have a great night everyone and an even better Sunday! :)

Rain To Hang, Warm To Follow
Hello everyone and good Monday to you! We had a washout of a Mother's Day and now we're wanting the warm weather back! When will that warm weather be back that everyone wants? I'll get to that in just a minute.
Today we will see the chance for more rain, in the afternoon and into the evening hours. Temperatures will warm in the mid to upper 60s for highs in the east and the low 70s to the west. A rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out either as some of these showers try to get going later today. Chance of rain is at 70%. I know that chance is still higher than what we want to see, but just bare with me cause I have some good news.
Some rain showers may try to linger into the morning hours of your Tuesday but they will eventually move out. Highs will be back in the low 70s right around our average temperature for this time of year. Everyone wants to know about that 80 degree weather that would be great for lake time. I have the answer on when that will come back to us!
Friday temperatures loks to spike into the 80s with mostly clear skies through out the day and you can expect the same for your Saturday and Sunday as well, but on Sunday we could be talking about 90 degree temperatures coming to the state. The best shot at seeing that 90 degree temperatures is in the western parts of the state. The humidity will be up as well. Making for the chance for showers and thunderstorms to pop up at any point on those days.
I'll have more on the upcoming warm up in the days ahead. Have a great Monday everyone and take care! :)

Soggy Mother's Day!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this very wet Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms and moms to be out there. I wish I could have brought you a nice day for today but I can only predict the weather.
Anyways things doesn't look to be better later today either as this rain looks to stick around untill late Morning hours tomorrow and may even linger through out the day tomorrow as well. High temperatures today will struggle to the mid and upper 60s for highs due to the rain and clouds out there. The chance of rain for today was at 100% and tomorrow it's at 50%. We do need some rain but we all was wishing it would have held off for a bit untill after we got our Mother's Day plans out of the way.
By time all this rain is all said and done some area could really pick up some decent totals. One model had Somerset picking up on 2.50 inches of rain and London coming in at 2.15 inches. If that holds true we could be looking at some local flooding and ponding of roadways. If you are traveling today please be sure to slow down and if water is on the roadways remember turn around, don't drown.
Monday temperatures do come back up though to right around 70 degrees for the high, Tuesday through Thursday temperatures will be in the upper 70s to almost 80 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Things are also looking good for the first half of your weekend. More on that in the coming days!
Have a great Mother's Day everyone and take care! :)

Take A Walk On The Cool Side
Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this very nice Wednesday! Sorry for the lack of post over the past few days I've been on the sick side and it's taking quite a bit to get this post up. Anyways I have an outlook for Graduation Saturday and Mother's Day Sunday and we'll get to that in just a minute.
In the short term temperatures will back off and will actually be below average for the first time in a long while. Today temperatures will hold steady in the low 70s for highs and actually our average temperature is about 73 degrees so we're not too below average but we will be for the day tomorrow as temperatures will only reach the mid 60s for highs. Lows tonight looks to be cool into the mid 40s! Ouch!
Low temperatures for the last day of school in Laurel County looks to be a cold one! Temperatures could dip all the way into the 30s! Check the GFS model:
Thats upper 30s and some areas may reach as low as the low 30s especally in the valleys.
Friday will warm to be a nice day with highs in the mid 70s. Graduation Day for my former high school on Saturday looks awesome. Beautiful weather with high temperatures in the upper 70s flirting with 80 degrees! Mother's Day looks a bit tricky with the thunderstorm chances back just in time for Sunday, other than the storm chances temperatures will be in the 70s.
Thunderstorm and rain chances looks to carry on into next week especally early in the week. I'll fine tune the forecast for Graduation Day and Mother's Day weekend in the coming days! Have a great Wednesday everyone and take care! :)

Thunderstorms Possible Today!
Hello everyone and welcome to the blog on this very nice Monday! I was going to post earlier about the storm chances for today but then again I'm glad I didn't because the Storm Prediction Center took the slight risk for severe thunderstorms out of our area. Thats the first time I've ever seen anything like that.
I do think the chance for strong and severe thudnerstorms does still exist. They took the severe risk out because of a line of storms moving through Mississippi has robbed some of the instability for severe thudnerstorms for our area, but there still will be some instability that gets in here today and allowing the chance for strong and some severe thunderstorms to develop and that would be with the heating of the day.
Temperatures for today will be in the low to mid 80s for highs and the skies however will be in between sunny to mostly cloudy at any time during the day. If we was to stay sunny all day then we would be talking about highs in the upper 80s. But that isn't the case for today.
If any storms develop I will be tracking them all day long and I will give you all a heads up if any of those storms does go severe! Have a great Monday everyone and take care! :)

Severe Thunderstorms Is Back!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on your Friday and as we all know today is the running for the Oaks at Church Hill Downs! I don't want to be the guy who brings the bad news but it could be a wet run for today's races.
We do have a slight risk for severe thunderstorms for today. Check it out here:
Thats most of Kentucky in the slight risk. This does include cities like, London, Somerset, Richmond, and Ashland on westward.
Some models even show the chance for a squall line developing later in the day but as of now thats hard to say if that will happen or not. I can say there will be a good shot at thunderstorms today and the main threats will be large hail, and damaging winds, but an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out.
These storms will have a northwest to southeast motion on them as well as they will be multicellular storms. Meaning that one storm will pulse up and die out and another storm will pulse up right where the other one was making the storm look like it's been going for a while when in fact it was numerous storms all along.
Some areas may see some storms come in waves and some may cluster up like they would form a small squall line. Right now the timing looks to be in the later part of the day today but storms could fire at anytime though.
Like always I'll be watching this very closely through out the day today and any updates will go out on facebook! have a great Friday everyone and take care! :)

Thunderstorms And Heat!
Hello everyone and good Thursday to you! Yesterday we experenced hot temperatures that normally doesn't happen so early in May and it was our one day break in the thunderstorm action as storms try to move back in today.
Today temperatures may not reach as high as they did yesterday due to the overall cloud cover and the shot at some thunderstorms moving though. The best chances for thunderstorms is in the central, south central, and southeastern parts of Kentucky for today. High temperatures looks to be in the mid to upper 80s. I'm thinking right around 86 degrees.
The heat has been something most people has been noticing this week. I've been asked how long will this heat last? Well some models are showing a cool down on Tuesday into Wednesday of next week and I do believe this up and down pattern will continue for a while.
The Kentucky Derby is Saturday and if you are planning to go make sure to be weather aware as the threat of thunderstorms will be there all weekend long. The Oaks on Friday will be about the same, the heat will be a factor for both days as temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s yet again.
On a side note, anytime we have a very summer like pattern this early in May it will also bring the chance for showers and thunderstorms, so make sure to be weather aware for tomorrow into the weekend as there is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms tomorrow but that will stay mainly to our west... For now.
I'll be watching the weather and if there is any updates I will share them with you via Facebook like always but for now, have a great Thursday and take care everyone! :)

Hot, Hot, Hot!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this unseasonably hot Wednesday! Shew you could really tell today was going to be hot whenyou stepped outside at 11am this morning and the temperature read 82 degrees here in London! This heat is here to stay through the weekend and will increase thunderstorm chances for the weekend as well.
Today will be just flat out hot with high temperatures flirting with 90 in most areas and a few locations may get above 90 degrees! This is mid- July type of weather! We could also see a thunderstorm or two develop today but odds are against it as we have a flat trough in place and also a layer of warm air aloft (CAP). Storms will have a hard time firing up with the trought and the cap in place thats why we're only calling for a few storms to pop later.
Thunderstorms are expected to be over the area for the weekend and look at the GFS is saying for rainfall forecast through the weekend:
Thats up to 4 inches of rain in some areas! Wow!
April was by far a quiet month fo severe weather and I believe it's been the quietest April in years past. I have a hunch on May trying to make up for the lost time so to speak. I sure hope not but likealways I'll be watching it to see what goes on.
Have a great Wednesday everyone and take care! :)
