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!
