Well, we expected the long range forecast to bring normal to above normal temperatures - with a few days below normal. So far that appears to be on track (although it was a bit cooler than expected over the last few days - nobody will complain about that subject). We have been much closer to normal over the last few days - even a bit below normal in some counties. A much needed break from the extreme heat.
Latest Weather Story From The Paducah, KY NWS
According to the National Weather Service Office out of Paducah, Kentucky this will likely be declared one of the top 5 warmest summer's on record for our region. You can read more about the numbers by visiting the Paducah, Kentucky NWS web-site - here.
The next two weeks look to bring normal to above normal temperatures. However, there should be at least a few days of below normal temperatures. Normal high temperatures for this time of the year are around 86 degrees - normal low temperatures are in the 60s.
A bit more unsettled weather also appears to be in the cards. With at least a few chances for showers and thunderstorms in the coming week. And perhaps a period of heavier thunderstorms as we move into week two. Some signals on the model data of stronger front passages.
Tropical weather update - we told you over the last few weeks that the tropics were about to become quite active. That is the case - with two named systems on the weather map (and a third on the way).
It still appears that the east coast will have an above normal chance for tropical weather. An active season is forecast and that pattern is becoming increasingly conducive for land falling tropical storms and hurricanes. Especially along the eastern coast of the United States. But, that doesn't mean Florida and the Gulf of Mexico can't expect problems. The water temperatures are extremely warm - any system that develops this season has the potential to cause problems. Stay tuned.
