Story and Hot and Humid this Week

There is a slight risk of severe weather for today and tomorrow across West KY with damaging winds and large hail possible. Isolated strong storms are also possible come Thursday.

After the storm chances the big story is heat and humidity and boy does it come back as temps soar into the mid and upper 90's along with humidity some heat advisory days may be possible come this weekend into next week. Also isolated thunderstorms are possible this weekend due to the moisture mass in and around the edge of the ridge.


Also later this week I will get everyone ready for fall as we look at the fall predictions coming up.

August 4th threat Assessment

July was cool and wet

July was the 2nd coolest in Paducah and Evansville and 4th in Nashville. It was also in the top 10 wettest in Paducah and Evansville.

Several record low highs and even record lows were broken in Mid July

Lot of moisture to mess around with there is a potential across West KY esp south of a Paducah to Livermore KY line of heavy rain. Some areas may receive up to 2 inches this evening until very early tommorow which could cause localized flooding concerns on already saturated grounds so beware.

Thunderstorms some could be strong today

Cool down with possible record lows?

A cool down is in the books. We are talking about a pretty big cool down as temperatures lower to the 50's with records possible. And highs only in the mid 70's possible for both Saturday and Sunday.

A T-Storm watch is in effect for parts of west Ky including Mayfield and Murray.

Right now a t-storm warning is in event for Fulton and Hickman counties as damaging winds are possible with a MCS type system.

Be careful and watch for 50-60MPH winds and large hail.

Update on weather

Rain and thunderstorms not expected to be of widespread severe notion today. Some may get strong but probably won't be severe.

If enough instability can form a few strong to severe storms may form tomorrow.

Some cooler weather is expected with highs maybe not even reaching 80 across West KY.

Today is a mostly dry day. Jackson Purchase area may have a chance of rain later into the night towards daybreak.

A slight risk of severe weather is in effect for West KY tomorrow. With large hail and damaging winds possible in any storm that can get going.

June 12th update

Some strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening. If a complex forms in Missouri than it could clip at least far SW KY with damaging winds. Elsewhere isolated strong to severe storms with a damaging wind and locally heavy rain is possible.

Update

Not a widespread event but locally heavy rain and locally damaging winds are possible. No widespread severe weather or flooding is expected though.

Strong to Severe storms possible this weekend

After a realitivly dry day today with only 20% rain chances the weather gets unsettled this weekend.

Scattered to widespread thunderstorms form this weekend both in the form of pop up thunderstorms (some could be strong) to even MCS formation and a potentially more organized severe threat if one of those forms in the right environment and gets organized.

More details this afternoon along with confidence level map.

Watch the weather for another weekend.
