Wednesday – High 88
Just like yesterday. It might be a good idea to water your lawn one day this week. At least the overnight temps are cooling off nicely into the upper 60s.
Thursday – High 88
Deja Vu Summer Weather
Summer is Here to Stay!
Memorial Day
Has it been wonderful outside or what! Temps in the mid 80s this afternoon with the wind kicking up just a bit. No rain is expected, even though the NWS is holding onto a 20% chance of rain this afternoon and a 10% chance of rain tonight. Enjoy the day!
Tiny Rain Chance Today. Hot & Dry This Week
Memorial Day – High of 87
A small minority of weather models deliver a passing afternoon shower, but don’t bet on it.
No rain appears on either short range model, the RAP (below) and the HRRR, through midnight:
Our NWS can’t rule rain out this afternoon, but if it happens, expect only 0.02″, which probably wouldn’t even melt the Wicked Witch of the West. Proceed with all outdoor activities.
The Perfect Start to Summer
Memorial Day
The weather will be awesome! High of 85 with a few clouds. NWS is giving us a 20% chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Tuesday
Will be very much like Memorial Day. A little warmer high 87 and still humid but no rain expected.
Rain-Free Today & Probably Memorial Day, Too. Summer Arrives This Week
Today – Sun & Clouds, High of 84
There’s rain on the morning radar, but the NWS and the models say it’ll miss us.
In fact, the models predict dry weather today through midnight:
Memorial Day – Slight Thunderstorm Chance, More Humidity, High of 87
We may see a few brief late afternoon / early evening showers (from that energy you see in Texas/Oklahoma on the above map), but most of the models disagree and keep us dry. Rain and lightning would be the only real concerns (no severe weather). Don’t alter any outdoor plans.
Looking Good Tomorrow, Rain Chances Memorial Day
Tonight
An Air Quality Alert remains in effect until midnight tonight. The general public won’t be affected, but if you’re a child, elderly, or have asthma or other respiratory issues, the NWS suggests limited prolonged outdoor exertion.
This Can’t Be Right: An Almost-Perfect Weekend
The Intern is back from storm chasing, and offers this forecast:
Today
It’s been a pleasant day with temps only reaching the low 70s and plenty of sun. Since those clouds are not around, we will be cooling off quickly once the sun goes down.
Memorial Day Weekend Forecast: Now With a Chance of Rain
Friday – 52/70
Little Chilly. Clear Skies. NWS forecasts a “surprisingly cold Friday night.”
Beautiful Memorial Day Weekend
This Afternoon & Tonight
A cool front will arrive from the Ohio River. The models disagree if rain will come along.
The HRRR predicts a few light, scattered showers this afternoon:
The RAP does not:
At 12:50 p.m., a few very light showers appeared along the Ohio River, crossing into Kentucky. Our rain chances are pretty low, and if we get a shower, it likely will not ruin tonight’s outdoor activities.
A Nice Memorial Day Weekend (Probably)
Overnight
The models want to send us some rain in the middle of the night. For example, observe the RAP at 3 a.m.:
Thursday – 61/79
Gusty winds to 16 m.p.h. and cooler temps await.
There’s a chance of a few rain showers (but not storms) passing through late Thursday morning or afternoon (below: WRF at 4 p.m.). This should not be enough to rain out any Thursday night games:
