Wet Week Ahead?

Welcome back to the old blog and I hope you are having a wonderful day. Here is a look at your 5 day forecast for London, KY!



Now those of you that know me well, know I don't like slapping percentages on a 5-day. This week I felt like it would be nice to illustrate the days I thought would be the best chances of rain, which in this case are Tuesday-Thursday.

I feel like after a week of the models being lost they're finally getting a hold on what's going on and the solutions they show seem to make sense to me. We're going to show the GFS for illustration purposes.

Monday PM:


Tuesday PM:

Wednesday PM:

Thursday PM:

Friday PM:

As you can see, GFS is wanting to keep it wet for a good long work week. While I don't think we'll see non-stop showers that entire time, you're going to want to pack an umbrella around this week. Here's what the folks at HPC think about the 5 day rainfall totals.


HPC is showing us right around the 2 inch mark for most of southern KY right now. We will want to keep an eye on actual totals to see if high water could become a concern. That's all I have for now. I'm starting training on a new weather system at my tv station this week so posts will probably be short and sporadic, but I will try to at least give a brief update daily. Until next time take care!

Quick Saturday Morning Update:

Sorry for the lack of an update yesterday, long work day due to having to shoot high school football last night. Here's a quick 5-day to get you going on this Saturday:

Today: Once the fog burns off we should go mostly sunny with highs near 80.

Sunday: Mostly sunny once again, highs near 80, lows in the upper 50s.

Monday: Partly sunny with a chance of scattered showers. Highs in the low 80s, lows in the mid to upper 50s.

Tuesday: A better chance of showers, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60.

Wednesday: We keep the chance of showers, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the low to mid 70s, lows in the low 60s.

I'll try to get a forecast discussion tonight, but if not I'll have an extended update tomorrow. Until then take care!

Thursday Night, Not So Right

Welcome back to the blog, and thanks for stopping by. Going to keep things short tonight with a text version of the 5-day forecast:

Friday: The rain from Thursday should rap up before we move into Friday. Leaving us partly cloudy with a chance at isolated showers. Low Thursday morning near 60, Highs in the upper 70s. Dense fog could develop in the over night hours.

Saturday: We're going to keep at least a small chance at an isolated shower in the forecast. I think we should stay partly to mostly sunny for the most part. Highs in the upper 70s, Lows in the mid to upper 50s.

Sunday: We start the day mostly clear with Lows in the 50s. We go into the day with a chance of showers, especially in the afternoon. Highs around 80.

Monday: Mostly Cloudy with a chance of showers. Lows in the upper 50s. Highs in the low to mid 70s.

Tuesday: Mostly Cloudy with a chance of showers. Lows in the low to mid 60s. Highs in the low to Mid 70s.

The models continue to struggle with the current set up going into the beginning of next week. I think our chance of rain is going to come from a tropical low coming up through Texas making a b-line to the bluegrass. I'll have more tomorrow, until then take care!
