Curious to hear where you guys think would be the best place for the ridge to be centered for our region to most benefit from ridge riders come July. Personally I’d like to see it centered in the Four corners/Texas panhandle region Yes that would be a nice place for the ridge to be centered. No dou...

Good Morning and a whopping 0.05 inches of rain. Like Les mentioned just enough to settle the dust. Beautiful day in storm and then we repeat the set up over the next week with a quick warm up followed by a cold front with the chances of rain though always tough when the ground is drying out but at ...

Good Afternoon and finally it looks like some rain moving into the local area. Really is a nice cold front for late June and yes plenty of rain spread over a large area but again that does not give many locations the needed rain to help the drought. I thought most folks would end up between .5-1.0 b...

Good Afternoon and nothing here as well. Joe I agree some virga today as the moist air came flowing into the area. Still can get some showers and maybe a thundershower this evening but I still believe Wednesday is are best shot and really anytime during the day. Thursday looks wonderful with lower h...

Good Afternoon and the one thing is you can feel the humidity moving in quickly. Never been a big fan of severe weather but more thunder and lightning with heavy rain at times. Should be the new pattern for a few weeks with a quick warm up followed by decent chances of showers and thundershowers. En...

Good Morning Les and yes would be nice to settle the dust and I tend to get hay fever when it gets dry and that has happened already. My son got nearly another inch of rain overnight and his pond which at one time was very low has overflown the banks plus he has a big part of a tree that blew over i...

Good Morning Les and welcome back. Many times with the upcoming chances of rain on Wednesday we tend to get the shaft. One reason is we get several days of hot air in here and the atmosphere tends to dry up in certain layers. In this case we had the nice day yesterday and a surge of warm moist air t...

Usually we tend to get a break in the action in July but this season we know the area is primed. The Pacific on the other hand is so quiet and has been that way for several years. No doubt something going on but keying in on that is not easy and probably many factors. The upcoming change to La Nina ...

Getting dry though the brief shower last night help the plants and you can water all the time but even a brief period of moderate rain will do wonders on flowers. Getting a big set up with cool air to the north in the northern plains and upper mid-west and heat more towards the south and we should b...

Hey Tim, Today's outlook forecast potentially MCS development for MN and WI. Hey Eric and been very stormy at my son's house. Going up there sometime this summer and the chain saw will be in use. They went from a short term drought to tons of rain in a short period of time. Once again Mother Nature...

We talked about in the winter when Alaska gets warm we tend to get cold. Alaska is really getting warm this week but its different in the summer since the jet stream is much further north. Saying that much of Canada is going to be very cool for early summer and they have done well this month in term...

Yes it was hot but not horrible in terms of humidity and one reason most saw very little rain though I see near Dayton got some decent rains. We could really use a 2-3 day rainfall but seldom does that happen in the summer. I do like what I see for Wednesday as a even stronger cold front moves throu...

Good Morning and most folks should get enough rain this morning to at least disturb the dust. If you get a tenth of an inch feel lucky. Storms should fire up again later this afternoon but exactly where is still up in the air though the further east the better shot. Good news is we get about 24-36 h...

Taking a peak at the new 12Z GFS run and it'll be a 50 / 50 chance for rain on Sunday with a weak cold front. Tues afternoon, next week, a small chance exists with the passage of a warm front. Then again on Wed / Wed night with the passage of a stronger cold front which should give us a few days br...

Les with the at dew point lowering getting above 93 is much more likely but the feel like temperature will be less. I like the lower dew points myself

87 / 67 at CVG as of 11am so the dew has dropped a bit from earlier this morning. That would give us a good shot at beating 93 today. We'll see! Exactly Les and of course the heat index will be about the same because of the lower dew point. Still not seeing us getting to heat advisory today but Sat...

Good Morning and either today or Saturday should be the hottest day temp wise but if the dew points stay below 70 no where near heat advisory. Hopefully later Sunday the cold front can bring some rainfall to the area. Short-lived though as the front heads north Tuesday and that may well be the hotte...

Good Evening and a little more sun today than yesterday and with dew points in the upper 60's in the afternoon we got into the low 90's Friday and Saturday will really deal with the dew points and if we stay int he mid-upper 60's then 93 or 94 come into play but if we get to 70 or above then another...

Mother Nature balancing things out once again as the drought in the northern plains is wiped away and we are in the short term drought. Hopefully we can stall this next week. Temps and dew points right on target this morning and looks like 92 may be the high.

Good Morning and another typical summer day ahead. I am with Les and not a fan of the heat and humidity but yes your body adjust over a period of time and I can already tell the difference. Heat wave in the northeast and yes I agree but here locally we can't even get to a heat advisory level though ...

It doesn't look as if CVG is going to make it to 90 today. There is still time, but it's running out. Heckuva way to run a heat wave. Hey Doug and its always hard to hit 90 or above once we get that dew point over 72. Yes it has happened but never easy around here. The next 3 days if the dew point ...

The 12Z GFS wants to get us into the ridge rider pattern with some MCS action next week. Sure hope that is correct. No, we don't need the severe wx but we do need the rain. Les that is possible and one reason is the amount of moisture heading into Mexico and Texas moving west. This can get the flow...

Exactly Les. May have a few more pop up storms today compared to the last two days especially for folks who missed out completely the last few days. Again these pop up,rain out and then you are good. I would love to see one here around 313pm

Good Morning Les and I hope you enjoy your trip. No doubt we get the highest temps just ahead of a cold front and that looks to be Friday and Saturday. Still not sure we get to the mid-90's as the high dew points tend to keep a cap on temps. Hopefully we can get some rain Sunday and like we have me...
