Tuesday Afternoon

Not a lot of time today, so if you haven’t read yesterday’s forecast discussion, I’d advise you to start there.  Also, today’s weather reminds me of how much I HAVEN’T missed this type this summer.

Models have come into pretty close agreement today and now focus our  best chance for showers/t-storms tomorrow between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M.  Yesterday I mentioned the system to our south essentially blocking any significant moisture northward.  All models are hitting hard on that idea today.  The result for us adds up to less aerial coverage, reducing any severe threat to near zero and overall reduced amounts of rain.  By tomorrow evening,  cooler, drier air return for another couple of days.

The famous quote, “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.” is usually attributed to Shakespeare.  But he didn’t write it.  Sir Walter Scott is the actual author.

Sunday Evening

Now that the clouds have finally thinned out, it looks like typical hazy, hot and humid summer weather through most of Wednesday with daytime highs near 90 and nighttime lows near 70 with patchy fog.  Wednesday looks like our best chance for thunderstorms for the week.  A weak cool front should pass the area Wednesday night with the possibility of thunderstorms ahead of, and along, the front.

Later in the week, cooler, drier air returns for a few days.  After Wed. it looks like our next chance for rain won’t come until late in the weekend.

When the popular soft drink 7up was first introduced(1929), its name was Bib-Label Lithiatated Lemon-Lime Soda.  The modern name comes from the 7 ounce bottles it came in plus the way the carbonation bubbled UP in the bottle.

Friday Afternoon

Models, and the actual weather, continue to bring the moisture farther north than anticipated.  Quicker, too.  We’ve had some very light showers in the area, especially along and east of I-65.  So far, it’s been mostly trace amounts.  The short-term RAP model continues to keep the western edge of the higher moisture right over the Louisville area until about 8 PM.  After that, any lingering showers should move away to the northeast.  Another chance for additional light showers tomorrow morning remains for about 8-11 A.M.  (Note: The “official” forecast for tonight and tomorrow mentions thunderstorms.  That’s just not going to happen)  (Note 2:  Rainfall tonight and tomorrow morning should be very light…averaging between a “trace” and a few hundredths of an inch.  Not enough to give a good soaking to our dry lawns and gardens.  More of a nuisance than anything else.)

I drove by a gas station today and saw something I’ve never seen before.  Both the price per gallon for regular and diesel were exactly the same – $3.869.
