Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Morning and a nice period of dry weather expected over the next week or so. Looks like the only chance we have is later Tuesday and really not sure how much rain falls. Good for the farmers to plant and then we expect another uptick in storminess next weekend into the following week. That is wh...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Les I am not sure about the summer and that is because as we know El Nino's and La Nina's have been acting somewhat different in the past several years. I believe a big part of that is the oceans are so warm basin wide. Sure we get some weather that we see during those episodes but not exact.

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Morning and 0.24 for a total but a nice slow soaking rain which is good. Les your forecast looks great and over the next few weeks we look to be rather stormy with systems every 3-4 days with a warm up ahead of a front and then a cool down and then rinse and repeat. Much different spring compa...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Evening and a wonderful to be outside as I type this inside lol. No doubt storms have formed as expected and we just wait for the arrival near the midnight hour. No reason to change the forecast dews are still low and even in Louisville they are sitting at 57. Sure we will get a little spike bu...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Quite a bit of action out to the west and southwest as expected. Do these two areas form one longer line of storms and stay apart. Most models have them merging and one line to head through our area late evening/just after midnight. Still no changes and hopefully a good dose of rain once again.

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
The latest change from the SPC has the slight risk area nudged a little closer to us but still just outside of our coverage area. All AV Posters are still in the marginal risk category. The main threat for us should a storm be able to maintain its intensity tonight will be strong winds. I still mai...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Watch the dewpoints too guys. We're in the 40s here while dews in the mid 60s are over Western KY. U60s to even low 70 dews in Western TN. Can we get into any of that juicer air or will our storms fall apart as a result of us NOT being in that juicier air? We shall have to wait and see! Great Post ...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
I have noticed models are keeping rainfall totals light. I understand as the amount of time its actually raining will be short but I believe heavy so getting a quick 1/2 inch in an hour is very possible and in some areas that could be near an inch and why the localized flooding is possible for a few...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
CVG managed to hit 80 yesterday and I expect the same for today. If so, then that would make for a 5th day in a row of 80 degree temps. Pretty remarkable for April IMO. Climate normals currently at CVG are 67 / 45. No doubt some wild swings this April but really that is more the normal than we have...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Just looking at some year to date stats and really rather simple we are about 10p/c above average in terms of temps and precip. So nothing out of the ordinary by any means and this should continue at least through the end of April

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Morning Les as I believe we are on the same page. I had to put the threat of a strong or severe storm in the forecast because I believe the storms that do develop later today are going to be quite strong. How much they weaken before getting here locally is the big question and though I don't ex...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
I agree Les and in a way lucky the snow melt was so light this season that the rivers are not quite as high compared to a year with lots of snow. Imo the severe is there on Thursday and with a nice sunny but warm day should bring up the instability. The timing will be key on how strong the storms a...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Just looking into the next couple of weeks and for the most part the country will be rather wet and overall slightly above normal in temps. Again love seeing the above normal rainfall in the spring and if you get it over a wider area that is even better. Will we hit a switch though sometime in June ...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
The forecast for today IMO has worked out very nicely! Windy as hell with most of the storms up to the north. I agree Les and we had ton of wind energy so we sort of escape what could have been a rather busy day. Later Thursday will need to watch a complex that forms to the west. Should be an outbr...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Wonderful video by Brian and he mentioned the dew points and already near 60 in western Indiana but upper 40's in eastern Illinois so the dry air is coming in rather strong which is good in this case. This case some of the drier air is further south so that is why folks north and east of here have a...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Les I agree 100p/c. Many times during the summer you get those thundershowers mid-afternoon and they drop a nice inch or so in a short period of time but after it leaves the sun pops up and drys up some of the rain that fell. Also in the summer the ground usually has a period where the top layers ar...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Morning and a nice thundershower as I post. Will check on the rain totals later but with this added thundershower probably going to be nearing 1/2 inch. Les your forecast looks good and I agree most if any severe weather will be I-70 north and still look out for a lone wolf everywhere else. Lat...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion
Good Morning and Trev I agree about the severe weather and a weakening low pressure is key. We see this in the winter and one item I always look at is the storm gaining or losing strength. I do believe overnight we get some storms and as always looking at that 4-9a period and this should lead to som...
