Hot, Humid Pattern Returns

Hey folks, crank the AC up today since highs will reach the low 90’s with a couple isolated thundershowers as a hot, humid pattern returns to south central Kentucky. The heat stays while rain chances increase through at least the middle of next week.

Take the proper heat precautions of staying hydrated, taking breaks inside, and not leaving kids in hot cars this week. h/t tenor

Heat and Humidity on the Rise

Short range HRRR model suggests some isolated storms are possible this afternoon. h/t pivotalwx

Light southern winds will bring in hotter temperatures and more moisture. Together these will make it feel like at least the mid 90’s and give us a slight chance of pop-up thunderstorms this afternoon.

Keep your umbrella handy today, well, maybe a bigger one than this. h/t tenor — Good thing umbrellas can function as parasols if it ends up being sunny, well maybe a larger one than this. h/t tenor

Rain Chances Increase Tomorrow into Next Week

Tomorrow afternoon scattered showers will be possible again while highs reach the upper 80’s making it feel even muggier than today. By Monday the temperatures will remain the same while thunderstorms become more likely and widespread.

Hot temperatures + high humidity = high heat indexes. (Monday afternoon) h/t pivotalwx

The middle of next week will probably continue this hot, rainy pattern with projected highs reaching the mid-80’s each day with scattered thunderstorms. Our best chance for severe storms will be in the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame, but this is for sure not set in stone yet.

Late Week “Cold” Front Could Bring Nicer Weather

All the unsettled weather is due to slow moving “cold” front that will creep across our the eastern U.S. this week. Maybe once the cold front gets past us late next week we can get some dry, cooler temperatures again.

Summer rain: good for cooler temperatures. h/t tenor — When you follow @wxornotbg h/t tenor
