Welcome to the Weekend!

Hey ya'll. Hope you had a good week and welcome to your weekend ... well almost there! :P
It's going to be a humid weekend, with showers likely Saturday Night into Sunday Morning.

Here's your 5 day forecast for London, KY:

Friday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible, otherwise Sunny! Low of 64, High of 82.

Saturday: Partly cloudy, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms, best chance in the afternoon and evening. Low of 65, High of 79.

Sunday: A good chance of showers and thunderstorms early, with skies clearing towards the end of the day. High of 66, Low of 42.

Monday: Partly Sunny. Chilly Morning low of 39, High of 68. We could see some Valley frost Monday morning.

Tuesday: What a beautiful day! Sunny skies with a low of 37 (Once again keep an eye out for some frost in the valleys) and a high of 79.

Forecast Discussion:

So I think today is actually going to end up being mostly dry until later in the day when a few showers could spark off. Here's a radar to keep track of any showers or storms that do pop up.


Our best chance of rain will be on Saturday Night/ Sunday Morning:

NAM Saturday Evening:


NAM Sunday Morning:

And finally some good news. Both the GFS and NAM are backing off rainfall totals for the weekend, which is good news for the folks recovering from flooding in Eastern KY.

GFS:

NAM:

The NAM is showing around a half inch for most of Eastern KY, while the GFS is showing around an inch. That's not great, but much less than the 3-4"s some models were showing earlier in the week. After we deal with the rain for the weekend things are looking great for next week with Sunny skies and high temperatures near 80 for most of next week. Next weekend might be another story however. Also keep an eye on the tropics the next couple of weeks. Some the GFS and GEM individual ensemble members are trying to spin up some tropical activity in the next two weeks. So keep an eye on that and the rain for the weekend. We will talk again soon, until then take care!
