Good Monday morning, WABBLES! After a soggy weekend, we are still not out of the woods yet. A boundary has stalled along Kentucky, causing more pesky showers to develop across the region this afternoon. WABBLES is under a flood watch starting at 11 A.M., as some of these downpours could cause localized flooding. Once this rain moves out of the area, we’ll start to gradually warm up as we go through the week. But don’t put those umbrellas up just yet; more rain is on the way mid-week!
Today’s Forecast
Similarly to the past couple of days, showers and storms will begin to bubble up along the stalled boundary this afternoon. Severe potential is low with these rainstorms; however, WABBLES can still expect some heavy downpours and gusty winds with these. Because today’s rainstorms are expected to be more organized than those over the weekend, they may linger into the evening and even overnight.
Temperatures will warm back into the mid-80s for today before lowering back into the lower 70s overnight. With dewpoints being in the 70s today, it will make for another humid day across WABBLES.
More Rain on the Menu
While this boundary finally moves out of the region on Tuesday, we’ll be bombarded with another system moving in from the northwest by Thursday, increasing our rain chances once more. In the meantime, we’ll be staying warm and muggy as we are brought more and more moist air.
We’ll finally start to dry out towards the end of the week, as another high-pressure system and upper-level ridge move in. However, this means much warmer air is on the way. The Climate Prediction Center is forecasting above-average temperatures for WABBLES heading into next week as we start to see the wrath of June.
As we continue through the summer, it is important to stay weather-aware through Kentucky’s ever-changing weather. You can follow our social media to get updates and more weather information. That is about all from me, so try to stay cool out there, WABBLES!
