HEADLINE: Monday will bring more heat. I am still thinking that we see some change towards the end of the week - middle/end. Perhaps some reduction in temperatures and an increased chance of rain/storms.
.
Well, Sunday brought more warm temperatures to the region. Most areas experienced highs well into the 90s. Thunderstorms formed - as expected - over our northern and eastern counties. Some of these storms produced high winds and hail. Several severe thunderstorm warnings were issued by the Paducah, Kentucky National Weather Service. Mainly for high winds. .
Here is a map showing where the reports of severe weather occurred. The blue dots are hail and the yellow/orange dots represent high or damaging winds. The green dots are reports of flooding..

How much above normal will high temperatures be tomorrow? Several degrees! The map below shows you the departure from normal highs (normal highs are around 79-82 degrees). For example if the normal high is 80 degrees and the actual high is 90 degrees then we would be 10 degrees above normal. You can find this map on the web-site, as well - click here.

There is an area of interest in the Caribbean. The main concern is flash flooding over some of the islands. This disturbance will move slowly north/northwest of the coming days. Some slow development is not out of the question. .

1. Warm weather to continue into the week.
2. Perhaps some more active weather as we push towards the middle/end of the week.
.
3. Keep in mind that my summer forecast is for an early start to summer (what we are seeing right now) and then we level off some as the ridge of high pressure shifts west into the southwest United States. That would leave us with more NW flow events - meaning our systems will move in from the St Louis region - heavy thunderstorms and squall lines. .
Drought continues to our south and southwest. We will continue to monitor that region and the tropics for any changes.You can also find me on Twitter under Beau Dodson
