Monday through Friday update
I am in summer mode - that means I try to update every other day or every 2-3 days. If the weather is active then I will come in and update the forecast as needed. I will also note an update at the very top of the blog update.

Our heat wave is over - for now. A more typical summer type pattern will occur during the next 5-10 days. The main concern for the coming 5-8 day period will be lightning and locally heavy rainfall totals. A small chance for gusty winds.
I am posting information about the drought on the weather Facebook page - click here and hit like at the top of the page.
.
Most likely no. If a thunderstorm forms then there will of course be a chance for brief heavy rain and lightning. A gust of wind is also possible.

HEADLINES: You made it through the heat wave! We have been through the ringer with day in and day out of 100-110 degree weather for the past week. That has all come to an end. A cold front pushing through the region today (Monday) will bring more seasonable temperatures into the coming weekend.
Temperatures over the coming week will range from the middle 80s to lower 90s - overnight lows will mainly be in the 60s. Not cool temperatures - by any means - but better than what we have been experiencing.
Normal highs for this time of the year are near 90 and normal lows are near 70. I don't think too many people will be complaining about temperatures this week.
With the slightly cooler temperatures will come a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight (Monday night) into Tuesday. Another chance from Thursday into Sunday. Right now the threat for severe storms appears to be low. Can't rule out a couple of severe storms this evening (Monday evening) and then again Friday into Sunday. I will monitor and update if anything changes.
Let's take a look at the rainfall totals for the past 7 days - you can see spotty heavy totals over the region. Click image for a larger size
There is a bit of uncertainty on the exact placement of the frontal position as we push into Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. Some of the data keeps quite a bit of rain knocking on our doorway on Wednesday and Thursday - the best chances for precipitation will be over the southern half of the region - Missouri Bootheel - KY/TN state line border counties. How much further north the precip can make it is still a bit of a question. Let's hope further north.
For now - enjoy the "normal" summer pattern.
Some brand new maps have been released - reviewing June 2012
Here they are
This map shows you the rank of June 2012 for the temperatures - you can see that it was very warm. We ranked 105 out of 118. 118 would be the warmest year on record. The higher the number the warmer the year/rank.
You can see the rank of June 2012 in the precipitation department. It was very dry - out of 118 years June of 2012 will rank number 10 on the scale. Number 1 would be the driest on record.
Let's break that down to the state level (then the regional level below that)
You can see the regional rankings below - our region ranked 4 - close to be the top driest year on record.
The above graph shows you what percentage of the nation was very cold or very warm. Obviously the warmth won out over the cold.
The image below shows you what percentage of the nation was very wet/very dry. The dry wins by a long shot.
We can also take a look at how this year compares to other years - this graphic below shows you just how warm this year has been - quite amazing.
According to Dr. Jeff Masters - in a recent blog update
Thanks in part to the historic heat wave that demolished thousands of high temperature records at the end of June, temperatures in the contiguous U.S. were the warmest on record over the past twelve months and for the year-to-date period of January - June, said NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) on Monday. June 2012 was the 14th warmest June on record, so was not as extreme overall as March 2012 (first warmest March on record), April (third warmest April), or May (second warmest May.) However, temperatures were warm enough in June to set a new U.S. record for hottest 12-month period for the third straight month, narrowly eclipsing the record set just the previous month. The past thirteen months have featured America's 2nd warmest summer (in 2011), 4th warmest winter, and warmest spring on record. Twenty-six states were record warm for the 12-month period, and an additional sixteen states were top-ten warm. The year-to-date period of January - June was the warmest on record by an unusually large margin--1.2°F.

U.S. heat over the past 13 months: a one in 1.6 million event
Each of the 13 months from June 2011 through June 2012 ranked among the warmest third of their historical distribution for the first time in the 1895 - present record. According to NCDC, the odds of this occurring randomly during any particular month are 1 in 1,594,323. Thus, we should only see one more 13-month period so warm between now and 124,652 AD--assuming the climate is staying the same as it did during the past 118 years. These are ridiculously long odds, and it is highly unlikely that the extremity of the heat during the past 13 months could have occurred without a warming climate. Some critics have claimed that recent record warm temperatures measured in the U.S. are due to poor siting of a number of measurement stations. Even if true (and the best science we have says that these stations were actually reporting temperatures that were too cool), there is no way that measurement errors can account for the huge margin by which U.S. temperature records have been crushed during the past 12-month and 6-month periods.

End of Jeff's comments (above 2 paragraphs)
Now let's review June as far as precipitation for each week of the month - not a lot of precipitation to go around. Thus - the large extent of drought conditions in the country.
The date for each week is at the top of the map.
This has been the warmest 12 month period on record for the United States - see the image below (click it for the large view size)
Let's compare some "well known" drought years to 2012 - you can see the dates at the top of each image. 1934, 1936, 1988 - versus the long temp average for precipitation anomalies. The orange/red areas are dry or below normal precipitation. The second image is 2012 (through May).
June 2012 broke quite a few all time record high temperature records - you can view them here
Even though it has been hot in America - not all of the world is baking. Much of the world is averaging below normal in the temperature department (so far this year). Click image for a larger view

Remember that as a general policy, in the long range outlook, I try not to mention severe thunderstorms more than 72 hours in advance (unless the signal is so overwhelmingly convincing that it warrants a mention). I will mention thunderstorm risks and I will give as many details as possible. Also remember you can view the long range severe weather outlooks by visiting the Storm Prediction Center's web-site - click here
July 8th-14th
The week of the 8-14th may bring more seasonable temperatures compared to what we have been experiencing. I am still expecting a NW flow type atmosphere - that may bring a brief halt to our upper 90s and lower 100s.
July 16th-23rd
A return to hotter conditions? Possible.
This model graphic below shows the week of the 17th being warm again - still some time for changes. But - perhaps we will see a return to the 90s.

Now is a GREAT
time to buy a NOAA All Hazards

before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
