HEADLINE: Sunday's weather was amazing. A nice cool morning followed by warm afternoon temperatures. Our streak of beautiful weather continues - and will continue at least into Monday.
.
The next system of interest to impact our region will arrive on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Moisture from a system to our southeast coupled with a cold front and area of low pressure to our west will combine to produce a band of showers and thunderstorms. The best chance of rain will likely not arrive until later on Wednesday and into Wednesday night. Rainfall totals are not expected to be heavy.
.
A few of the storms could become severe in the Ohio Valley on Wednesday/Thursday. Will monitor and update. I believe the best chance for severe thunderstorms would be to our east.
.
Please take advantage of this nice weather while it lasts.
.
Let's take a look at the temperature departure maps (how much above or below normal temperatures are). The first map is Sunday (you can see we were above normal in the temperature department) and the second map is for next Saturday (you can see that we move towards a cooler air mass - several degrees below normal). Normal highs for this time of the year are in the middle and upper 70s and normal lows are in the 50s.

.
The McCracken County Office of Emergency Management reminds you that owning a NOAA Weather Radio is the best way to receive notifications of severe weather watches and warnings.
.
.
Beautiful weather will continue right on into Monday. Be mindful of dry ground conditions (some counties have burn bans in effect).

Drought continues across a large chunk of real estate. This has been a concern for quite some time now. Droughts tend to creep. Many of you have witnessed the extreme fire conditions over portions of Texas and Oklahoma on the different news outlets. I have been watching this drought slowly creep north and east over the last few months. This will need to be monitored as we move into the fall and winter months.
.
Here is the latest Soil Moisture Anomaly map. Severe drought continues over Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and parts of Arkansas. The areas in green are moist regions - the areas in orange and yellow are in need of rain.

1. Cooler conditions for the end of the week. Nothing too dramatic - but cooler.
.
Will be watching the tropics over the next 3 weeks - I always look for some late season storms/hurricanes to switch the pattern up over the central and eastern United States. If we see one or two strong storms/hurricanes then we will likely experience colder temperatures.
.
You can see in the map below that sea surface temperatures are still quite warm and supportive of hurricanes.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event.
