Strong Storms to our South

While it's a bit dreary in and around the Dayton area to our south in Kentucky right now. We still have a potential for storms here as well. From the NWS:

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE OVERNIGHT.
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER
THREATS.

And they are still looking for the potential of strong storms through the weekend.

Hang on... it could get bumpy...

Folks, it's only mid June but a classical summer weather pattern is setting up. Warm humid and afternoon/evening thunderstorms. It looks like a nice line of storms is setting up to our west.



From the US Weather Service:

TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM LATE AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT. THE HEAVY RAIN MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. WITH A VERY WARM AND
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE...SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE
WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

Warming Up with Instability

Well after a nice weekend with the exception of some heavy rain later Sunday afternoon, this week will be a mixed bag. Warming temperatures throughout the week, with chances of rain varying trough the work week. All in all it doesn't look too bad a week shaping up. Dodge those afternoon/evening showers and enjoy!

Wake Up Thunder Boomer

Thunderstorms rolled through this morning providing areas with some heavy rains. The winds weren't not too bad at least in the Fairborn/Beavercreek area. The US Weather Service is calling for about 3/4" of new rain today with a decent chance of more thunder storms.

Deatils for the next few days.

Tornado Chasing: Goshen Co, Wyoming

A tornado is a awesome display of nature's power. I don't want to see one cruise through Dayton - or any other populated place. However, skipping over open ground it's pretty damn cool to see. Here are a couple of videos from this years batch of tornado chasers.

And.... we're back (almost)

Sorry folks, through the magic of the internets - the current conditions and forecast chugged along while I was away. I'm back June 1st and more posts will be coming. Thanks to the folks who have emailed me asking how I am. Just busy and away a lot. Back to the grind June 1st.

Testing New Things...

It's been a while. And it's going to get cold!
