Are you ready for a little break from the sweaty weather!? Well, it's coming, thanks to a cool front sliding to the east. It's just been muggy, with pop-up storms the last several days at least. A reprieve fro... Our warm and muggy weather will continue through Thursday. We are stuck in a strong southerly flow which is pumping lots of Gulf moisture into Kentuckiana, add to that some day time heating and we get pop-up showers/storms developing in the afternoon. More of the same for Wednesday. By Thursday afternoon a weak cool front will push through the area, we are not looking for a big temperature drop. However, the humidity level will fall givin...
Mother Nature has open the door to the Gulf and we will continue to see an increase in low level moisture this weekend... It's going to be MUGGY! (Yippie) With this increase moisture, daytime... I've been asked by the Bats to throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch this Sunday. It should be a lot of fun... I've never done this before and my son thought he would offer me some advice...

Areas mainly north of the river and over the Bluegras Region of Kentucky will have the chance for some patchy frost through early Monday morning. Also, watch for near record lows overnight through early Monday. Record: 40/1895. Forecast: 42. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE HAS ISSUED A FROST
Flood Warnings will be scrolling across the top of the page over the next several days, as the East Fork of the White River remains above flood stage through early this week. At Seymour, the river got to 17.8 ft (Flood Stage 12.0 ft), and apparently at 18.0 ft, 50% of Jackson County is flooded. Here's some of the latest Flood Warning messages... ...FLOOD WARNING EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING...THE FLOOD WARNING I like these weather summaries from the AP, some interesting facts for you trivia buffs. AP-The Nation's Weather Radar Rainfall estimation from New Albany to Cementville (Floyd and Clark Co.) was 1 to 4 inches in less than an hour. This cause lots of flooding problems. Check out all the pictures viewers have sent us!

Line of storms still heading our way... No watches or warnings yet and I expect them to arrive as non-severe. However they could still produce heavy rain, gust 25-40 mph and small hail. I think flooding may be a problem in areas that have already pick up a lot of rain over the last couple of days... Should be moving into the Jefferson County, KY after 3:30 AM ...Strong storms moving through Central IN & IL and are heading our way... But, unless they restrengthen, I think the risk for severe is very slim. The storms will produce heavy rain, gust 30-45 mph and small hail... should arrive in the metro between 5-6 AM... Earlier to our Northwest. Strong to severe storms popped up late Friday afternoon. The storms produce locally heavy rain that cause some street flooding and some large hail. We... Quiet now, But it looks like we may see a round of severe weather moving into our far nw counties around 3-4 AM and in the metro between 5-6AM. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 8:00am for the Indiana counties of Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Lawrence, Orange, Perry, Scott & Washington ... the Kentucky counties of Breckinridge, Henry, Jefferson, Meade, Oldham & Trimble...

We are currently watching two areas of convection (T-Storms)... The first is a complex of storms moving out of SW IN heading towards Dubois-Jennings Co. We haven't seen anything severe out of these storms, just some heavy rain and gust to around 45 mph. The heavy rain has caused some locally flooding problems in Lawrence, Jackson, Washington, and Jennings Co. There is a Tornado watch in effect until 11 pm for SW IN, but I believe t... Monday was a perfect May day with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low to mid 70s... I hope you got a chance to enjoy it (I did a little yard work), because it looks like we will be dodging showers and storms through Sunday morning. First, an approaching warm front will bring us showers and thunderstorms tomorrow morning through early afternoon. A few of these storms will produce some heavy downpours. Also look for the winds to b... ...and learn again just about every day, is that if Momma ain't happy, nobody happy! So, that's why we're keeping the weather pretty good for Mother's Day. Temperatures will be pleasant, with highs near 70. Yes, clouds will increase a bit late in the day, but we'll stay dry. Mom will be happy to know she will save on the heating and cooling this week with temperatures in the low 70s for several days, then mid to upper 70s... What an incredible storm system that moved through Kentucky Friday afternoon/evening. For a while it looked like a hurricane on the satillite/radar loop! These storms produced flooding rain across Kentuckiana.
Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 7 AM Saturday for the following Kentucky Counties... Grayson, Hart, Larue, Green, Taylor, Adair, and Marion. Storms are firing up along a stationary boundary south of the Metro area. These storms will remain south of Louisville, we will continue to watch them overnight. ...The threat for severe weather is over for much of Kentuckiana. We will need to watch a boundary that is setting up in our far south viewing area. I will blog more after the show because I'm very busy now getting ready for the 10 pm news, updating our 24/7 weather channel, newspaper and radio stations. I will be posting some pictures as well. ...

First batch of showers/storms moving through the southern Indiana counties of Lawrence, Jackson and Jennings. Nothing severe, but we will see heavy rain, lightning and gusts of 30-40 mph. The next round is in MO/IL and should be pushing through the area between 2-8 AM. These storms will be strong (maybe an isolated severe storm) producing some gusty winds and heavy rain (some of us will see an inch). SPC has us in a slight risk for ... It has been a very wet May and we're not even through the first week yet! So far today the airport has recorded .67" of rain, bringing the monthly total to 1.50" that is more then half an inch above average (.58"). With that said this may be hard to believe, but we are still running behind the yearly average! Our yearly average to date is 15.77" and the rain gauge has only recieve 13.12". More than two and a half inches (2.65") behi...
Got a chance to catch a bass for my daughter today. Not a big one, but it sure impressed her! She wouldn't hold it, but liked the slimey little guy none the less. She got to see the bass ... The radar is looking about as green as you look the next day after one too many Mint Juleps (wimpy name for a tough drink!). A good day to sleep off that Derby hangover. So, how are you feeling this morning?... on a scale of 1-10, I'm about 7...not because of too many spirits yesterday, but because of a cold and lack of sleep. Showers will be around, heaviest rain still looks to be around the Ohio River and south. 1-2" of rain possi... What a gift from mother nature this week! The timing of our rain has been perfect - overnight! We've had mostly dry days for our Derby Week, making for a very delighted Chamber of Commerce! Heavy rain is quickly approaching though. Showers will be here Sunday morning lasting through early Monday morning. 1-2" of rain is likely, especially along the Ohio River and south, localized flooding will be possible. The rest of the week w... The weather models have just been all over the place this week, keeping the forecast changing and challenging. The latest change is for the front to move just south of our area for Derby Saturday placing all of us on the cooler side. Temperatures could be held down with the clouds and light northerly breezes to the 50s at race time. If we get some peeks of sun, low 60s are possible, but plan on |
