Tonight Kicks Off Our On/Off Rainy Weekend.

Non-severe shower + storms will move into our area tonight and stick around throughout the day Friday.

HRRR model (above) shows a break for most of us by around lunchtime Friday. However…

More showers + non-severe storms are expected to develop Friday afternoon and evening. This particular run of the HRRR model shows a majority of the activity dodging us. Now this would be super cool if it does, but I’m pretty sus on that. If going to one of the many, many available outdoor activities tomorrow, not a bad idea to have rain gear + a back-up indoor plan in case a shower/storm decides to make its way to you. If you are downtown tomorrow, you may end up having to dodge some storms and chairs. read more

Rain/Storm Chances Return Thursday Night.

Temps will yet again return to the upper 80s Thursday, getting close to the 90° mark.

An unsettled pattern will settle in for the weekend, with rain chances beginning late Thursday night.

HRRR model above shows rain entering our region late Thursday night continuing thru Friday morning. A break Friday midday, with more rain/storm chances Friday afternoon/evening. Fingers crossed we can be dry before all of our Friday evening outdoor activities (which there is a lot of). Still too much uncertainty to try to nail down any ETA/ETD, we’ll keep you updated. No severe weather expected. read more

Cicada invasion soon. Little buggers [NOTE: language sanitized] emerge with ground temps at 64F. Closest reliable data source to us – from the KY mesonet in Warren Co KY – shows their soils getting close to the magic number. We are probably a little bit warmer here, being further south. Our forecast has 87F and 89F temps Wed & Thu. So expect them to start showing up this week. Some of us have already seen them. I lived through the invasion in the 80s and it was not pretty. Pro tip: avoid perms, keep it tight, because those lil buggers [again, language sanitized] will pull up in your hair, shoutout to my screaming mother. Also if you have a vehicle with a big front grille, invest in a pressure washer. read more
