Monday, June 15th, 2009: 5pm


Very interesting week of weather upcoming, and my blog will cover every moment of it...

We will start out with a chance of storms tonight, but that will fade away into a warm, humid, morning tomorrow.

There will be 3 major weather headlines for the week...here they all are, in order...
  • Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night: A stationary front will be lifting northward and will be the focusing mechanism for storms in this time period. The following is the SPC map for tomorrow, with a 30% chance of severe weather southwest of Louisville.

  • They say that a moderate risk may be put into place, but for now it is just a slight risk. The highest concentration severe storms will be north of where the stationary front sets up. The main threats with these storms will be damaging winds, but isolated tornadoes and large hail are possible close to the stationary front, which will most likely be in western/southern Kentucky.
  • Thursday-Friday: We will see the hottest weather of the summer thus far. Highs will be in the lower-mid 90s, and humidity will be very high, iwth dewpoints in the 70s possible. Stay tuned and take your normal precautions for being in hot weather.
  • Friday night/Saturday: The SPC indicates a 30% chance of severe weather for Friday night over southern Indiana. With hot temperatures and high humidity in place, severe storms are certainly possible (see map below and stay tuned).
