The next 12 hours will have a period of heavy rain, with some amounts of 1-2 inches possible, especially over parts of north-central Kentucky. Some sunshine should appear to dry things out tomorrow afternoon! My 7-day is not uploading, so see yesterday's for reference. I have rain chances Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and on days when there are not rain, highs in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s.

Heavy rain chances continue for the next 36 hours...

Isolated showers will continue through tomorrow morning. With the very humid conditions tomorrow afternoon and many waves of energy, expect storms with torrential rains tomorrow afternoon. Another inch of rain on top of the 2-3 inches received over the last 36 hours could cause some flash flooding issues. There could be up to 2 additional inches where very torrential rains occur. This type of rain will cause you to have to pull off the road if you are driving!

Another heavy rain event is expected Thursday night into Friday early morning. Another 1-2 inches is possible, and flooding could certainly become an issue then.

After this, a break in the weather until another system Sunday, followed by another break for Monday and Tuesday.

Very warm humid day tomorrow, with highs nearing 90 and dewpoints in the upper 60s.

Tuesday night and especially Wednesday, a front will drop through the area bringing with it a chance of very heavy rainfall. 1-2 inches could occur in this time frame.

After a brief break on Thursday, another system will approach the area Thursday night and Friday. Another 1-2 inches are possible from this system. The weather will clear late Friday and Saturday before another storm system Sunday.

Highs on rainy days will be raincooled middle 70s, with lows in the middle 60s. Highs on clearer days will reach the lower 80s.

15% chance of severe weather tomorrow...between 4-7pm will be the expected arrival of these storms...damaging winds would be the main threat. Besides this, it will be warm and humid with highs in the middle 80s. More on the severe weather tomorrow, and look at the previous post for the 7-day!

A nice day upcoming for tomorrow...it will be a bit humid but definitely managable for this time of year...


Saturday could yield some strong storms late afternoon and into the evening in approach of a cold front. There could be some severe weather with this so stay tuned...

The rest of the period should have average temperatures for this time of year and will mostly be dry...

Heavy rain possible over the next 18 hours...

Rain will begin falling overnight and will continue through the early afternoon tomorrow. Some heavy rain will be possible tomorrow morning, with rain totals reaching 1.5". Some ponding of water on roadways is possible, along with some minor flooding.

The rest of the 7-day looks pretty good with just slight chances of storms Thursday and Friday. The most substancial rains will be tomorrow and then another system on Saturday.

A good weather day tomorrow will be in storm before a spring/summer like pattern returns, with a chance of storms every day through the first part of the weekend. This will also bring slightly more humidity. Clearing will occur by the first part of next week.

Expect showers tomorrow morning and some storms possible tomorrow afternoon-Thursday morning. If we can get a little sunshine early afternoon, we could see some isolated severe weather.


The rest of the 7-day features a brilliant weekend and early next week...with low humidities and highs in the 80-85 degree range.

Beautiful day for tomorrow, followed by chances for storms Wednesday and Thursday. Most numerous storms will be Wednesday night/Thursday morning. After this storm it will lead to one of the most beautiful weekends we have seen in mid July.

Slight (20-30%) chances of storms exist over the next 6 days. Highs will be in the mid 80s today and tomorrow, in the upper 80s Tuesday, around 90 Wednesday, and in the middle 80s for the rest of the period. Lows will settle in the upper 60s most of the week.

15% chance of damaging winds >58mph and hail >1" in diameter for our area today. A few severe cluster of storms could impact the area this afternoon, especially the east and south parts of the area. The main threat with these storms will be downbursts and microbursts, which are quick burst of heavy winds. Lightning and heavy rain is also possible...stay tuned....

Alex C.

Saturday, July 11th, 2009: 12:30am

30% chance of severe weather over southern Indiana and northern Kentucky today...main threats damaging winds and large hail...stay tuned...

Rain and storms will be most prevalent on Sunday, with more scattered storms Monday-Wednesday. Skies will clear for late week. Temps will stay around the upper 80s-lower 90s all week. I will be posting on severe weather tomorrow...

The next two days will be quite hot, with Friday being very humid. Next chance of storms comes Saturday, where there could be a few strong storms around. It will continue to be warm and humid before the storms exit Sunday.


Monday and Tuesday will be warm and dry, with a chance of storms coming in mid week.

Warm summer weather will continue through Friday, as temperatures will range from 86-91 in the afternoon and in the 67-71 range in the early morning. It will be dry until the weekend, when a slight storm chance enters into the forecast. Temperatures will remain the same through the weekend and into the first part of early next week.

Independence Day 2009: 5:30pm

Rain beginning to break up to the west...

Southern Indiana and Louisville: The light rain we have now will continue to get lighter through 7pm, and should be stopped or just as sprinkles by 7:30-8pm. The rain has really broken up into Illinois. We could still have isolated showers/sprinkles through the evening, but nothing widespread. Looking better...

Central Kentucky will see rain continue through a lot of the evening, but could become light enough in some areas to shoot some fireworks around 10, especially the closer you are to Louisville.

Alex C.

Independence Day 2009: 12:45pm

Rain about to begin in our parts of the area...
From the NWS: UPDATED TO DOWNSCALE THUNDERSTORM CHCS (MAINLY NORTH) CHANGED WORDING TO ISOLATED AS WEAKENING MCS MAKES SLOW EWD PROGRESS WITH LEADING EDGE TENDING TO DISSIPATE AS IT ENCOUNTERS DRIER AIR.

However, the storm that they are talking about extends from Corydon to St. Louis right now. However, if it does weaken, we will only see light showers here. From now until about 6pm, however, expect a fairly good threat of light to at times moderate showers. After 6pm, the storms will become more scattered for a while.

The question with the evening is whether storms can develop here. There will likely be severe storms going on in southern Kentucky SOUTH of the warm front, but with no sun and a rain soaked atmosphere, it is questionable whether we will see more widespread showers in the evening. I think there is still a chance of showers, but the threat may be going down. Stay tuned...

There is a good bet for storms sometime tomorrow...here's the rundown...

For the early morning, don't worry too much about a storm chance. The chance will be greatest west of I-65 at noon, and the chance will increase in the afternoon with heating. I don't think these afternoon showers/storms will be that significant, and there may be a gap over parts of the area, especially outhern Indiana, that would allow cookouts to proceed under cloudy skies.

However, the biggest area of storms will come through the area sometime between 7-11pm. The timing will be crucial! Some of these storms could be strong, so stay tuned...I will be posting a lot tomorrow here and on facebook to let you know what to expect for the 4th...

Here is your forecast and your 4thcast...

The main action from this storm could end up being in the afternoon, and end before the fireworks, but there could also be two rounds of storms. I will try to have an answer on rain for the fireworks tomorrow...besides that...the weather looks great for the rest of the next week, with near normal temps for July...

The forecast has nice weather except for the 4th of July weekend! The chance of storms looks to come in the afternoon or evening. It is not a guarantee that we will see these storms come through on the 4th depending on the location of the warm front. After the weekend, it will be nice yet again with warm but not humid weather in the 80s.

Here are the details on the 4th of the July with "The Final 15: Weather 4thcast".
