April 2009 ArchivesA must for this years Oaks and Derby... A RAIN PONCHO!!! Showers and a few thunderstorms will move through the region over night with locally heavy rain (up to half an inch). The showers will end by 8 am, then a little break until a cold front arrives bringing with it more showers/storms after 3 pm. The front stalls out over us for Derby... Yep, more showers and storms! Highs only in the 60s. (Bet on the M... Keep the rain gear handy the next three days... The atmosphere is juiced up with dewpoints in the 60s. This afternoon scattered thunderstorms developed in Grayson county (along the stationary front that is draped across Kentucky) and dumped more than an inch. An upper level system that is exiting OK and TX will interact with the stationary front and give us a good chance for showers/storms by late morning-midday tomorrow. T... This year WHAS11 is fielding two teams and hopefully it will increase our odds of winning the coveted Rose' Trophy! And from what I understand Team #1 is considered to be the favorite by most odd makers... LOL... It should be a lot of fun Team #1 Team #2 >> Continue reading: Run for the Rose' I made it to the finals! Barely. I hit it 16'4" from the pin, and I think the cut off was around 16'10". There will be 53 of us going for a hole in one at Seneca Golf Course on Tuesday at 6pm, for one million dollars! Hey, if lightning can strike the same place twice, or people for that matter, then I've got a chance, right?! Here's the video of the shot.<... The forecast remains the same for Tuesday through Friday with scattered showers and thunderstorms with temperatures in the 70s. But, it looks like a front will clear everything out just in time for the Derby. Right now, Saturday's forecast calls for clearing skies, and cooler temperatures in the upper 60s!
That's what happens when it hits 87 degrees! I throw the hose in the baby pool, and splash away! Certainly a summer-like day this Saturday, with that near record high (record: 88/1990). Expect it to be just about as warm Sunday. Balloon Race 7am Sunday: Derby We...
The Rush Hour race was cancelled Friday morning because of strong winds and tonight at the Balloon Glow the U of L ballon broke loose and flew across I-65 before the pilot landed it safely in an open ...
The weather looks great for both the Balloon Glow and Race. Winds should be out of the southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
The Louisville Fire and Rescue Golf Scramble for the Crusade for Children is Monday at Quail Chase Golf Club, on what looks to be a cool, breezy, cloudy, showery day. No matter, sounds like some good ol' Scottish type of golf. Golf isn't just for sunny, calm days. It doesn't look like there will be a threat of thunder, so play shouldn't be cancelled due to the rain. I'll be out there with Andy Treinen, our director Donald Zalewa, and produ... Wet. That's the weather for our Sunday. Even Monday will have some wrap-around showers. We'll have to try to dodge some of the rain for the Bats/Indians game today...
It looks like there will b... Thunder has provided us with a wide variety of weather, from sleet to sunshine and everything inbetween. Temperatures for the Air Show have ranged from chilly 41 to a very warm 83 degrees. Fireworks temperatures have seen a big spread too... From a nice 72 degrees to a cold 35. Last year was chilly and a little damp... The best weather for Thunder was 2004... The worst was in 2005 with cold rain and a high of 41. A... The models have been slowing down the system on Saturday and that is good news for Thunder. The best chance for showers will be after 11PM. There is a slight chance (20% or less) that we could see a stray shower by late afternoon or evening, but don't let that stop you from heading down to the riverfront and enjoying the show! Temperature will be in the low 70s in the afternoon and mid 60s during the fireworks. Don't forget a light ... We're cool and pretty cloudy with temps in the 50s for today and tomorrow. But, after that, we're off to the races with a nice warm-up!
7-Day >> Continue reading: Warming Trend Toward Thunder Strong to Severe storms fired up Monday afternoon in a warm and unstable airmass ahead of a cold front. Several of these storms developed into supercell thunderstorms and doppler radar indicated rotation within the storms and prompted tornado warnings being issued for Lawrence, Jackson, Washington and Jennings County in Indiana. At least one funnel cloud was reported in Jennings county. Another storm in Henry county, KY also produced a funn... We're going to try to keep Thunder Over Louisville as dry as possible, but keep a close eye on the 7-day this week. Right now, it looks like there will be a pretty good chance for at least some rain next Saturday. The good news...the long range forecast is always subject to change, hopefully for the better. Here's the 7-day... >> Continue reading: Thunder for Thunder? It's a beautiful Easter! Wonderful weather to keep the kids outside during the afternoon to burn off all that Easter candy energy. Temperatures will be in the 60s with sunshine. I'll need to burn off some calories too, after one too many Cadbury Creme Eggs (I've got a small addiction). As we have said so many times over the last month, enjoy it, because as the Easter bunny hops away, rain heads our way... expect showers overnight l... Between our 10pm, and 11:44pm shows...Joe Arnold, Danielle Santoro, and myself (Ben Pine), had a chance to catch the last inning of the Bats game Saturday night. Danielle got lucky, one of the players rolled a ball over the dugout to her, wonder why they picked her? :)
If you're wondering why our weather has been so active as we entered April, well, it's really just the start of severe weather season. Take a look at how the number of tornadoes jumps up after April, then begins to level off after mid-Summer. Spring and early Summer is our severe weather season, however, severe weather and tornadoes can happen any month of the year. >> Continue reading: TORNADO CLIMATOLOGY Update 5:44pm Saturday... the number of tornado reports jumped to 42 total.

Looks like Kentuckiana will recieve a one, two punch from a strong storm system approaching from the west. Tonight showers cover most of Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky out ahead of a warm front that extends from Kansas to the KY/TN border. Most of the showers will stay north of the Bluegrass Parkway until early tomorrow morning. Look for a few isolated thunderstorms around 6am Friday morning to produce some locally heavy down...

I went to the bank and post office today, and everyone in line was talking weather! Not too unusual, of course, weather is the number one small talk topic. But, I kept hearing people getting grumpy about the chance of SNOW! Me too. Cold air is coming back to Kentuckiana on Monday. I keep saying it, you gotta love early Spring. We're going from 70 on Sunday, to upper 30s Monday afternoon. Rain will possibly mix with snow by Mond...
