Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog on this hot hot Friday! I want to start out by saying London has set a record high yesterday as did so many other cities. Mount Sterling set a record of 103 degrees, Barbourville and Monticello hit 101 degrees, Jackson hit 100, London hit 99, and Mount Vernon hit 98 degrees! Most of these temperatures got hotter than other summer months! Wow!
Today temperatures have risen even higher! Some temperatures have hit over 105 degrees! I do know that currently in London it's 104 degrees. I stepped outside for a moment and I felt like a pizza in the oven! haha anyways these temperatures looks to hang around through Sunday and there is a HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTILL 12AM SUNDAY FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF KENTUCKY. TEMPERATURES CAN REACH UP TO 105 DEGREES WITH HEAT INDICIES NEARING 110 DEGREES!
How are we getting this heat? Well we have a huge ridge of high pressure engulfing most of the country and the ridge is so powerfull it isn't letting any of these weak cold fronts pass by and sweep through our area. Location just to our west and southwest have temperatures nearing 110 degrees. Yes, I said it and that is actual air temperatures with heat indicies hitting 115 degrees and higher!
The positive side of the heatwave is that we have a chance of storms up to your 4th of July. Those chances are few and far between but at this point we'll take whatever chance we can get! I'll be following our rain chances in the coming days and tomorrow we look to have a 30% chance of some thunderstorms. A storm or two would really knock off those temperatures a few degrees.
Little relief of the temperatures in our future, by this time next week temperatures will still be in the 90s but they will be in the low to mid 90s. I would rather see a 90 degree temperature than a 100 degree temperature any day. I'll have more updates as needed and as anything comes up. In the mean time do a rain dance or something for us! ;) Have a great day everyone and take care! :)
