July 2007 ArchivesThe hot and dry conditions that have plagued Kentuckiana for much of this summer is about to intensify and a bona fide heat wave looks poised to strike the area this week. ...I get a bunch of stuff across my desk that I occasionally sort into piles of stuff and then sort again into categories of stuff in piles. I was thunderstruck by the amount of information I have on lightning. Needless to say, I had to do something with this data so I thought about sharing it with you. Some of this you might have already heard or read about but go ahead and read on. Sooner or later I could write something that surprises you.... You are going to see numerous mentions of showers and storms in the forecast the next several days but that doesn’t mean that you will be getting rain each and every one of those day. In fact, I would say the odds are rather slim for you receiving rain on Wednesday and Friday of this week but are a little better on Thursday and much better on Saturday, July 28. ...Retirements gain is our loss! I've worked with Roger since I got here and I can tell you he is a man very passionate about his webbing! ...Pretty good weather ahead! Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! ...Heat and humidity will increase this weekend and you’ll likely feel it the most on Sunday.

This time of the year when we get rain it usually comes from heavy storms that may contain hail and high winds or in other words severe weather. For the next 2 days we will be looking at a chance for scattered to numerous thunderstorms throughout this area and with these storms the possibility for some heavy downpours of rain. Will they be severe? The heat really returns for all of those brides! ...Storms that were up over Chicago and Milwaukee late Tuesday night created an outflow boundary of cooler air that acted as a weak cold front over the Ohio Valley late Wednesday afternoon. That’s why there were more than just isolated storms that developed over the region late Wednesday. ...Officially we are half way through 2007 but not yet half way through the summer. ...Get out with friends and family for the holiday! Even with the increase in temperatures, we are still looking good for the 4th. ...We are usually hard pressed not to mention a shower or storm chance for the 4th due to heat, humidity and instability ...Hope you have a pool nearby to cool you off because it’s another hot and humid Independence Day for Kentuckiana.
