Looking past the amazing weekend, I'm beginning to become concerned about how much rain we could see at the 2nd half of next week.

GFS: Sixty Hour Precipitation Ending Friday Evening


That's a lot of rain coming in a 3 day period. I think the ground should be able to soak it up with as dry as we're going to be today-Tuesday, but it's something to keep an eye on. Also something tog keep an eye is the possibility of some stronger storms on Wednesday. But don't worry about that now, stop reading and go outside! We'll talk again sporadically the next couple of days as I'm taking a 3-day weekend back home.

Sunny Skies on the Horizon!

Welcome to Wednesday! Hope the soggy weather hasn't gotten you down, but if it has I have good news. Skies will clear by the end of the day, and by this weekend we will see Sunny Skies and Temperatures in the 80's!

Your 5-day Forecast for London, KY

Wednesday: We wrap up the showers and should get to partly cloudy conditions by the end of the day. High of 62, Low of 37.

Thursday: Mostly Sunny and warmer. High of 80. Low of 41.

Sunday: Mostly Sunny. High of 84, Low of 61.

Forecast Review:

Tuesday: Scattered Showers off and on throughout the day. Otherwise we'll be partly to mostly cloudy. High of 56, Low of 44.

Actual: 56, 45. Woo Hoo, nailed this one almost on the dot for both!

Forecast Discussion: Not much to say here besides the fact we'll have one last day of damp weather, and then things are shaping up to be beautiful! A taste of summer is coming for this weekend which will feature temperatures in the mid 80's, and sunny skies. I think that we will not see another chance of showers until the middle of next week, but we'll deal with that in a few days. So just hold on for one more day!




Okay now that obligatory multiple 80's references are out of the way, I'm going to go get ready for the morning show.

Deja Vu Tuesday

Good Morning, and thanks for stopping by Yourlondonkyweather.blogspot.com. Another day very similiar to yesterday, and very similar to the beginning of last week is on tap for you Tuesday.

Your 5-day Forecast for London, KY:

Tuesday: Scattered Showers off and on throughout the day. Otherwise we'll be partly to mostly cloudy. High of 56, Low of 44.

Wednesday: We wrap up the showers and should get to partly sunny conditions by the end of the day. High of of 59, Low of 38.

Friday: Mostly Sunny with a chance of isolated thunderstorms. High of 81! Low of 47.

Saturday: Mostly Sunny with a chance of Scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. High of 82, Low of 59.

Forecast Discussion:

Well we've got two more days of damp weather instore. We're not going to be seeing showers all days, just off and on with breaks in the clouds in between. Here's a look at the simulated Radar from the NAM to Illustrate my point.

Tuesday AM:



Tuesday PM:


Wed PM:


After we get past these few damp days, things are looking much nicer this weekend with temperatures soaring into the 80's. I think we stay mostly sunny for most of the weekend, but we could get some pop up convective thunderstorms in the afternoon on Friday and Saturday.

GFS: Saturday Evening


It's something I'll be keeping any eye in the next few days. After that we have the possibility of some severe weather once a cold front moves through at the middle of next week.

GFS Sunday Evening:


GFS Tuesday Evening:

So what looks to be shaping up is a blast of cooler air wants to work in and set up a front boundary of to our west on Sunday evening. What happens then is it checks up to the north as Low Pressure starts to develop over Texas and Oklahoma and then starts working east. If it is in Texas Tuesday Morning I would suspect we'd see it sometime Thursday. So theres a look at the whats on tap for the next week and a half. We'll talk again tomorrow. Until then take care!

I also now have a new Youtube page I'm working on. I'll have the details for it in the coming days.

Springy Saturday

Hello one and all, and welcome back to Your London KY Weather. Here is your 5-day forecast.

Sunday: Showers and Thunderstorms are likely, some could be on the strong side. High of 60, Low of 52.

Monday: Showers continue as an upper level trough digs into the eastern half of the US. High of 56, Low 44.

So things are looking a lot like the beginning of last week for this week. Southern Low Pressure moves through, brings us showers and thunderstorms, and as trough digs in behind it we see an elongated period of scattered showers. And just like last week, things are looking better for the end of this week.
