Yesterday, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) issued their outlook for temperatures and precipitation for the month of July. The CPC does this on a monthly basis for full months, but they forecast for seasons, and give outlooks for 6-10 days and 8-14 days.

99.9% Assurance 2015 Will Be Warmest Year on Record
With the release of the October 2015 monthly climate report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2015 is set to be the warmest year on record. In October alone, the average temperature over land and water combined was the highest for October in the 136-year period of record, at 0.98°C (1.76°F) above the 20th century […]
80-Degree Weather Road Trip
Earlier this month, a climatologist by the name of Brian Brettschneider constructed a 70-degree road trip – one that allows you to vacation in 70° weather the entire year. An editor from the Capital Weather Gang asked Brettschneider to then create a 80-degree road trip; the following map is what he came up with. To construct this […]
NASA Cloud Atlas
This is a map from NASA of 13 years of cloud cover. The white areas show where there has been considerable cloud cover and the blue areas show where there has been little to no clouds. The Washington Post wrote an article discussing the atmospheric circulations this image reveals. “You can see that clouds form […]
Taking a Look Back at April 2015
We are all familiar with the phrase, “April showers bring May flowers,” and I believe that this saying held very true in April this year.

Bowling Green has not seen a temperature reading in the 30s since April 5. If frost were […]
California Called, And It Wants Our Rain
Recently (this year), the state of Kentucky has seen several events in which we have received almost absurdly large amounts of precipitation. We have had about 5 major precipitation events across the state that have dramatically reversed us from what looked to be a moderate drought in January to major flooding here in April. Well, […]
Tornado Track Tool
Last Fall we had a WeatherBuzz post showing the new Tornado Tracks Tool from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center. So as we enter severe weather season, I thought it would be interesting to show some tornado climatology for the area since 1950. Since 1950, Warren County has seen 11 tornadoes EF1 or stronger, and 3 […]
