EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Thursday, August 30th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: Lake Wind Advisory for Gibson, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, Warrick Counties [IN], Edwards, Union, Wabash, Wayne, White Counties [IL], Daviess, Henderson, Hopkins, McLean, Muhlenberg, Webster Counties [KY] until 7PM CDT Sunday…

OVERNIGHT THRU SUNDAY: The main area of Isaac will stay off towards our west and north during the Labor Day weekend. However, we will still have what is left of him in the Tri-State. Clouds will start to increase overnight and we do have a chance of some showers and thunderstorms also. Our best chance will be more towards daybreak. After tonight, our rain chances will stay from 50-70% until Sunday. Our biggest chance of rain will come Friday Night and Sunday. Highs for next few days will be in the 80s with overnight lows in the lower 70s. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will have wind gust of over 30MPH at times.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY: We are going to be on the back side of “Isaac” on Monday and our rain chances drop to 35-40%. A weak cold front will then move over early Tuesday and might spark off a few showers and thunderstorms then. However, we will see the sun return. Highs for both days in the upper 80s.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: Watching a couple more frontal systems as they will bring anywhere from 20-30% chance of rain into the Tri-State. While it won’t be like anything we will see this weekend, it will be something to watch for now.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: As this system moves into the area over the weekend, we will see some things that we have not seen for a while. This system is forecasted to be a slow mover and if so, heavy rainfall and flooding is possible. We are forecasted by the HPC to receive from 3-6” of rain for the Tri-State. With as dry as we have been, the ground is not going to take everything in fast. Therefore, flash flooding is going to be something we will be talking about. No formal Slight Risk of severe weather for the weekend by the SPC, but we should see one later. Main threats will be damaging winds, hail, isolated tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and flooding. Next Friday looks to be as if we will have another severe weather chance, but is too early to tell at this time.

CovingtonWatch Forecast for Thursday, August 30th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

OVERNIGHT: One more clear night for us until what is left Isaac moves into the Illiana area for the next several days. It will be mild with lows in the mid-60s.

FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY: We start off Friday under mostly sunny skies with highs reaching near 90. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will start to enter into the area starting late in the afternoon as what is left of Isaac moves in. Take the rain gear to the football games Friday Night as more showers and thunderstorms move in. Those that won’t see rain will have mostly cloudy skies with overnight lows in the upper 60s. We start seeing a frontal system for the weekend along with Isaac moving in. This will improve our rain chances and if you don’t see any rain for a few minutes, skies will be cloudy. Temps near 80 for Saturday and Sunday with overnight Saturday near 70. 

LABOR DAY AND TUESDAY: Isaac will start to move on out as a cold front will move over at the same time on Labor Day. While our rain chances will decrease, we are still going to be a good chance of rain. Otherwise, partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-80s. Might see a few showers and storms on Tuesday morning, but a weak high pressure will move in and should move some clouds out and return the sun, but with highs still in the mid-80s.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: Wednesday looks to be the nicest day for next week with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower to mid -80s. We will be watching another front for Thursday that might return a chance of showers and thunderstorms again with highs in the lower 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: As what is left of Isaac moves towards us, we will be faced with some things we haven’t seen for a while. As long as the models are right, this system looks to be a slow mover. This means that heavy rainfall and flooding is possible. With as dry as we have been, the ground is not going to take in all this water at once. Therefore, we are at an increased risk of flash flooding and flooding of creaks, streams, and rivers. No formal Slight Risk has been put out by the SPC for the weekend, but I do believe we will see one when the next update comes in during the early morning hours. Main threats with any severe weather we will see for the next few days will be damaging winds, hail, isolated tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and flooding. As this system moves out, we start heading into next week. It does look like we might have a chance of strong thunderstorms/severe weather for next Friday. Too early to say what might happen, but we will be watching.

RAINFALL TOTALS: As of the 5:40PM EDT update today, the HPC has us under the 7+” area of rainfall valid thru 8PM EDT Tuesday. This might look high, but that does not mean we will get that. I saw one person going off on the HPC for calling for 3-6”. These numbers are high for the 5 Day Outlook because we really won’t know until we get there on what is happening. But I just want to tell you, these numbers will be going up and down for the next few days.

EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Tuesday, August 28th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

OVERNIGHT THRU THURSDAY: High pressure for the next few days will give way to clear skies for the daytime and overnight hours. Lows overnight tonight and Wednesday in the low to mid-60s and highs for Wednesday and Thursday in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

THURSDAY NIGHT THRU TUESDAY: A warm front is going to try to lift northward overnight Thursday, but looks to as if it will fall apart while getting here. So do have a small chance of rain for Thursday night. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is when our best chances of rain are from what is left of Isaac once it gets here. Friday is at 42%, Saturday is at 64%, and Sunday is at 52%. Some the newer models do show that “Isaac” could move more westward and decrease our rain chances. However, we do have frontal system that will kind of just hang around for a while, mainly in Central Indiana/Illinois. A cold front will move thru late during the day on Labor Day and into early Tuesday giving us a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Rain totals do look to help us with our drought problems. I’ll have more on those as we get new info.  

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: We do have a chance of some strong thunderstorms when “Isaac” moves in. Main threats at this time look to be wind, heavy rainfall, and flooding. As for hail and the tornado threat, we will wait and see what happens.

CovingtonWatch Forecast for Tuesday, August 28th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

OVERNIGHT THRU THURSDAY: High pressure will be overhead for the next few days as we wait for what is left of Isaac to move our way. Tonight will be the only night with clouds overhead, but those leave us early Wednesday morning. Highs for Wednesday and Thursday will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s under sunshine. Clear skies for overnight Wednesday and Thursday with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

FRIDAY THRU TUESDAY: What is left of Isaac will move in closer on Friday Night. Not only that, we have a frontal system that will stall out during the overnight hours and on Saturday. What is left of Isaac will move towards us overnight Saturday and Sunday. Our rain chances for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be on the high side. 30% for Friday, 67% for Saturday, and 63% for Sunday. We do have a chance for showers and thunderstorms on Labor Day as a frontal system will move over during the day. We start to dry out on Tuesday. One of the models has the Covington area at 6” of rain when all is said and done.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: We do have a chance of some strong thunderstorms when “Isaac” moves in. Main threats at this time look to be wind, heavy rainfall, and flooding. As for hail and the tornado threat, we will wait and see what happens.

Hurricane Isaac 1PM CDT Advisory for Tuesday, August 28th, 2012


NHC Headline: Hurricane Isaac is moving northwestward towards the Mouth of the Mississippi River; flooding from storm surge and rainfall expected.   

All the information is as of the 1PM CDT Advisory.
Cat: 1
Location: 28.4N 88.7W
About 55 Miles SSE of the Mouth of the Mississippi River
About 135 Miles SE of New Orleans, LA
Maximum Sustained Winds: 75MPH
Present Movement: NW or 310 degrees at 10MPH
Minimum Central Pressure: 975mb, 28.79 inches
Days 1-3

NHC has Isaac hitting as a hurricane late tonight, into early Wednesday morning around the New Orleans area. This does not mean New Orleans will get hit. This can go west of New Orleans; it can go east of New Orleans. Whatever you do, don’t just look at the line on the map; look at the areas in white in the cone. Those areas could get hit also. In the days 1-3, NHC has this becoming a tropical storm later in the day, most likely after land fall and a tropical depression by Friday morning.

Days 1-5

Days 4 and 5 bring what is left of Isaac into Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. We look to be on the flooding side with heavy downpours. As for severe weather, we will wait and see.



Rainfall total forecast valid thru 8AM EDT Sunday

Flooding, heavy rainfall, and storm surges should remain the biggest threats from Isaac. The tornado threat will be low because tropical systems just do not have the conditions to produce tornadoes that well. Once this gets less of water and more of land, we will see what will happen. Isaac should hit land as a cat 1 hurricane and start to weaken after that. Isaac is running out of space and time to become a major hurricane. 

BIG NOTE: People have been comparing Isaac to Katrina. This will be nowhere near Katrina. She was a storm that we may not see for a while. As a matter of fact, the whole 2005 season may be something we won’t see again for a while. Katrina went from a cat 3 to a cat 5 in nine hours. Isaac just became a hurricane today. I won’t make any comparisons of Isaac to any past storm until the NHC and NWS say that Isaac is now in the history books.

Tropical Storm Isaac 10PM CDT Advisory



NHC Headline: Isaac is talking aim on the Northern Gulf Coast, significant storm surge and freshwater flood threat expected.  

All the information is as of the 10PM CDT Advisory.
Location: 27.1N 87.0W
About 190 Miles SE of the Mouth of the Mississippi River
About 255 Miles SSE of Biloxi, MS
Maximum Sustained Winds: 70MPH
Present Movement: NW or 310 degrees at 10MPH
Minimum Central Pressure: 979mb, 28.91 inches

Days 1-3
The new NHC forecast has winds only reaching 90MPH, which would be a strong cat 1 to a weak cat 2 and this will be right on the coast. So like I have been talking about for a while, we would have something near a strong cat 1, weak cat 2. But anything can happen between now and when it hits land. The biggest threat will be flooding, extreme wind damage, and storm surges.

The new NHC track has not had that much change. The next three days will be worth watching, mainly the final few hours before it hits land. Any area in the white cone is where the eye MIGHT head towards. This is NOT seat in stone like others have made it sound like.

Days 1-5
We add on days 4, 5 and Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky are added in the cone area. Our models have been shown that this will most likely hit us. Once it gets here, we will have to wait and see what does happen. I don’t want to jump ahead to five days out and say what I think will happen. Once we get there, I will have more.

I will have another update in the morning. 

EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Monday, August 27th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

Our weather will be calm for the next few days thanks to Isaac. I will have the new update when it comes in.

OVERNIGHT THRU THURSDAY: Rain will be moving out of the Tri-State overnight with some clouds around the area. The Northern Tri-State counties should see some fog overnight and early in the morning, but that as bad as what is forecasted for Central Indiana and Central Illinois. Some clouds overnight with lows in the mid-60s. Tuesday thru Thursday, high pressure moves in and we are just going to be nice, clear, and warm during the day. Highs for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday looking to be in the upper 80s to lower 90s and Tuesday and Wednesday Night in the lower 60s. 

NWS NOTE: Extremely dry air will filter into the area Tuesday and Wednesday, increasing the fire danger, especially for areas that receive very little rain.

FRIDAY THRU LABOR DAY: Once Isaac moves inland, it looks to be heading our way. Isaac will attach to a warm front moving northward over the weekend. So this will increase our rain chances even higher to near 50%. Chances for Sunday move down to around 30%. A weak cold front will then move over on Labor Day and give way to another chance of rain, but this will be a low end chance of near 20%. Labor Day will be more sun than rain. Highs for Friday thru Labor Day stay in the mid to upper 80s.

OVERNIGHT THRU THURSDAY: We are going to be under high pressure for the next few days until what is left of Isaac will move in. Skies will be clear overnight with calm winds meaning fog will move in. The fog will be dense at times and drop visibility down to about a mile or two. Fog will stay around in the morning, then clearing later in the morning. Wednesday and Thursday looking to be sunny also and clear for overnight Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs for the next three days will be in the mid to upper 80s with overnight lows in the upper 50s to near 60. I will note that the dew points for the next few days should be below 60 and being nice.

FRIDAY THRU LABOR DAY: After Isaac makes landfall, we will be watching to see where it will be next. A warm front will lift northward on Friday with Isaac taking along. Our best chances will be in the evening right when all the football games start. Saturday will look to be our best chances of rain of over 50%. Sunday the low will be on top of us, but our chances will be a little lower. However, a weak cold front will move over and give way to more rain chances, but will be lower. Highs for Friday will be in the upper 80s, and then head towards the mid-80s later in the week.

Tropical Update


While our weather is staying nice, the tropics are heating up. We have three systems that we are watching right now.

Isaac: As of the 5AM AST Advisory, Tropical Storm Isaac was located 280 miles east of Guadeloupe, max winds at 45MPH, moving west at 18MPH, and pressure at 29.62”. The NHC has this staying as a low end category 1 storm for about the next 90 hours. Where this will go next, is all out there. Once we get past the next five days, we are all over the maps. I do believe that this will hit Florida, but we do not know which part of Florida this will hit. Many models have this hitting the East Coast of Florida and staying along the East Coast after that. There has been some talk about it hitting the West Coast of Florida and staying in the Gulf of Mexico area. Again, I do believe it will stay as a low end category 1 and hit along the Florida East Coast. This is going to hit Hispaniola and the land scape there is most likely going to tear this up, so once it gets pass Cuba, it will need to reboot fast to become a major hurricane.

I-96 L: This system is 650 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and moving west-northwest at 15MPH. This has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone and it most likely will be one today. Models do keep this out to sea. I’ll be watching this one.

I-95 L: This is the one that will not leave us. Currently located right on the Eastern Gulf Coast of Mexico. This will just stay around that area for the next few days before leaving. It has a 0% chance of reforming. 

CovingtonWatch Forecast for Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

TURNING WARMER: High pressure will be in the area for about the rest of the week to give us clear skies and temps in the mid to upper 80s thru the weekend. We will also have clear skies during the overnight hours tonight and Thursday with lows ranging from the mid-50s to near 60. Some clouds do return overnight Friday, but temps still stay in the low to mid-60s.

RAIN RETURNS: Our next big chance of rain will be late Sunday into early Monday as a cold front associated with an area of low pressure moves on in. The low itself is in Canada and the front will be weakening as Isaac moves more towards land. Our best chances of rain come Monday as the front really does kick into the area. Rain chances are almost a 50/50. By Tuesday, the front would have died off, but a few showers are still possible. Highs for Sunday will be in the upper 80s, but down to the mid-80s by Tuesday.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: With the front weakening, our severe weather risk goes down. I do believe that some heavy rain and lighting is possible with some storms. Nothing really big to talk about.

TROPICAL UPDATE: I have so much to talk about in the tropics I will post it onto a different blog entry.

COVINGTON CLIMATE DATA: High for Tuesday was 79, low was 53, and precipitation was 0.00”. The forecast high was 81. Averages for today are 85 and 61. Records are 98 in 1983 and 50 in 2004. Sunset tonight is at 8:36PM EDT and sunrise on Thursday is at 7:09AM EDT.

WARM, BUT NICE:  An area of high pressure is controlling our weather in the Tri-State for the next few days and it will be nice. One problem is temps will be in the lower 90s thru Saturday. Lows overnight tonight and Thursday will be in the lower 60s. Overnight Friday, a few clouds move into the Tri-State with lows in the mid-60s.

SUNDAY THRU TUESDAY RAIN: A weakening cold front will sweep thru the Tri-State for the start of next week and give us a chance of rain. Northern parts of the Tri-State will see the rain first starting Sunday Night while the rest of us see it on Monday. The front will die off by Tuesday, but a few showers are still possible. Highs will start off in the upper 80s, but end in the mid-80s.

EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Tuesday, August 21st, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

MAYBE A SHOWER: Looking to be mostly sunny today with highs in the mid-80s. We have, however, seen some clouds move in this morning, so we can’t rule out the chance of an isolated shower or two this morning. Overnight tonight, skies looking to be mostly clear with lows in the mid-50s.

WARM UP: High pressure moves in for a few days and takes over our weather. Sunny skies for Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s, but some lower 90s can’t be ruled out. Thursday and Friday look to be sunny to mostly sunny with highs in the lower 90s. Overnight on Wednesday and Thursday, skies will stay clear with lows in the lower 60s for both nights.

WEEKEND: Saturday looks to be on the dry side for most of the day, but a shower or two is possible for some locations around the Tri-State. Overall mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 90s. We are watching a cold front that will be moving on Monday. Before the front gets here, we have an isolated chance of rain for late Sunday Night. During the day, however, skies stay mostly sunny in the lower 90s. Monday gives us our best chance of rain with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather is forecasted for Sunday or Monday, but we might have a storm or two on the strong side.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Gordon is now in the history books. The NHC stopped putting out advisories for him last night. We know have Tropical Depression Nine and this is the one that might become Isaac. At the 5AM AST Advisory, it was located 715 miles East of the Leeward Islands, winds at 35MPH, moving West at 20MPH, and pressure was at 29.74”. Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches are already out. Forecast track has this becoming a tropical storm later today and a hurricane by Thursday. As for where this will hit, latest models have this hitting near the Florida, Georgia area along the East Coast, but still too early to tell right now. Two more systems in the Atlantic to talk about. System one is about 380 miles Southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, moving West at 15MPH, and has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. System two is what was Tropical Storm Helene. Currently right now over the far Western Gulf of Mexico and not moving that much. Has about a 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone, again, and if it does it will have a different name.

EVANSVILLE CLIMATE DATA: Monday’s high was 85, low was 55, and precipitation total was 0.00”.  First forecast high was 81, and then changed later in the afternoon to 85. Average high for today is 88 and average low is 65. Records are 101 in 1983 and 49 in 1950. Sunset tonight is at 7:35PM and sunrise on Wednesday at 6:12AM.

CovingtonWatch Forecast for Tuesday, August 21st, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

FOGGY START: Some area of West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois are seeing some patchy fog this morning. This should all burn off as the sunrises for the day. After the fog burns, we have nothing but clear skies for the day with highs in the lower 80s. Mostly clear again overnight with clam winds giving us a chance of seeing some dense fog for the early morning hours. It will be cool, however, with lows once again in the lower 50s.

WARM THE REST OF THE WEEK: High pressure will be in control for part of this week and we say hello to clear skies. Sunny conditions for both Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the 80s. Clouds make a return Thursday Night into Friday. I am calling for skies to be mostly sunny to partly sunny at times on Friday with highs in the upper 80s and partly sunny for Saturday with highs in the upper 80s.

RAIN RETURNS: A cold front will sweep over Sunday Night into the day Monday giving us a chance of rain with our best chance being on Monday. Skies will be partly sunny on Sunday with highs in the upper 80s, but turn partly cloudy on Monday in the lower 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather is forecasted at this time for Sunday and Monday, but some storms could be severe at times. Main threats would be damaging winds, lighting, and heavy rainfall.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Gordon is now in the history books. The NHC stopped putting out advisories for him last night. We know have Tropical Depression Nine and this is the one that might become Isaac. At the 5AM AST Advisory, it was located 715 miles East of the Leeward Islands, winds at 35MPH, moving West at 20MPH, and pressure was at 29.74”. Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches are already out. Forecast track has this becoming a tropical storm later today and a hurricane by Thursday. As for where this will hit, latest models have this hitting near the Florida, Georgia area along the East Coast, but still too early to tell right now. Two more systems in the Atlantic to talk about. System one is about 380 miles Southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, moving West at 15MPH, and has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. System two is what was Tropical Storm Helene. Currently right now over the far Western Gulf of Mexico and not moving that much. Has about a 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone, again, and if it does it will have a different name.

COVINGTON CLIMATE DATA: Monday’s high was 79, low was 50, and precipitation total was 0.19”. Forecast high for Monday was 78. Average high for today is 85 and average low is 61. Records are 98 in 1983 and 47 in 1992. Sunset tonight is at 8:37PM and sunrise on Wednesday at 7:08AM.

EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Monday, August 20th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

STARTING OFF SCHOOL COOLER: Today is the first day of classes at USI and it won’t be hot like last year. Looks to be a cool day today with highs in the lower 80s. We do have a weak system that will give way to some showers and thunderstorms across the Tri-State, but overall should stay mostly sunny. Slight chance of rain overnight with some clouds and in the upper 50s.

WARM THRU THE WEEK: An high pressure will come in for the next few days and start warming us up. Highs for Tuesday and Wednesday to be in the mid-80s with Thursday and Friday in upper 80s. Overnight Tuesday and Wednesday, skies clear out and we stay in the upper 50s to near 60. I did put in a chance of some showers on Tuesday. I do believe the models did overdo it some, but just to be safe, we might have some locations in the Tri-State that might have a shower or two.

RAIN FOR THE WEEKEND: Chance of rain for the weekend as we await a cold front on Sunday. Best chance of rain will come on Sunday as the front nears. Rain chances stay in the isolated to widely scattered range. Skies do stay partly sunny with highs in the upper 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No threat of severe weather for the next seven days at this. The thunderstorms we will have today will be more of a lighting hazard than anything else. Storms for the weekend could be strong at times. We’ll fine tune the forecast and let you know later.

TROPICAL UPDATE: We have four systems out in the tropics to talk about it. Hurricane Gordon is a category 1 storm, located 50 miles East of Santa Maria Island in the Azores, max winds at 75MPH, moving East-Northeast at 15MPH, and pressure is at 29.15” (As of 5AM AST Advisory). Onto our other three systems out in the Atlantic.
1: Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure area located about 1250 miles East of the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression to form during the next day or so as the large disturbance moves westward at 20-25MPH. This system has a high chance, 80%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
2: Cloudiness and showers associated with a surface trough located over the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico have changed little during the past several hours. However, some gradual development of this system is possible during the next day or so if the disturbance remains offshore. This system has a low chance, 20%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible in the Mexican States of Tamulipas and Varacruz during the next day or two.
3: A tropical wave located about 150 miles South of the Cape Verde Islands is producing scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. Some gradual development is possible over the next few days as the disturbance moves Westward at 15-20MPH. This system has a low chance, 20%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

EVANSVILLE CLIMATE DATA: Average high for today is 88 and average low is 65. Records are 102 in 1983 and 50 in 1967. Sunset tonight is at 7:36PM and sunrise on Tuesday at 6:11AM.

CovingtonWatch Forecast for Monday, August 20th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

COOL START TO THE WEEK: After a nice weekend, we start off the work week cool, but with a chance of rain. We have a weak system moving into the area today will give way to some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. All of these should stay below the strong threat, but lighting cannot be ruled out. Partly sunny skies today with some clouds overnight; highs for today in the upper 70s and overnight in the lower 50s.

WARM UP: An area of high pressure moves in on Tuesday and starts to warm our temps up over the next few days and nights. Mostly sunny and near 80 for Tuesday, while Wednesday and Thursday have sunny conditions in the mid-80s. Friday looks to be the warmest day of the next seven under mostly sunny skies in the mid to upper 80s. Clear and in the low to mid-50s overnight for Tuesday and Wednesday. One side note, some of our models do put in a chance of rain for Tuesday and Wednesday. I will not lie, I do believe that the models are overdoing it, but I do want to go ahead and say a possible shower cannot be ruled out here or there for both days. Overall, everything should be nice.

WEEKEND RAIN: We will be awaiting a frontal system for the weekend to bring in rain. A cold front will move across on Sunday and won’t really drop temps all that much. Rain chances stay in the isolated to widely scattered chance. Highs for the weekend stay in the mid-80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No threat of severe weather for the next seven days at this. The thunderstorms we will have today will be more of a lighting hazard than anything else. Storms for the weekend could be strong at times. We’ll fine tune the forecast and let you know later.

Warnings, Watches, and Advisories
None

OVERNIGHT: High pressure will move on out tonight, but we still stay clear with lows in the mid-60s.

STORMY THURSDAY: SPC has put the whole Tri-State under a Slight Risk of severe weather for Thursday. Our mains will be damaging winds, hail, heavy downpours, and a brief spin-up or two. We will start off the day sunny, but clouds will start to increasing during the afternoon. We do see a cold front that will push into the northwest part of the Tri-State around the evening hours, should be in Evansville around the 10PM hour, and leave the Tri-State after the Midnight hour. Before the front moves in, we will see some showers and thunderstorms ahead of that front around the area. Once the front moves in, we will see a squall line form. That will be our best chances of damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall. Tornado threat is low in squall lines because the conditions are not right for them to happen just about all the time. Once the front moves out, winds turn from the northwest and we will cool down. Thursday highs in the lower 90s and overnight lows in the mid to upper 60s.

FRIDAY AND OVERNIGHT: We’ll still some showers and thunderstorms in the morning Friday, some might be on the strong side. Clouds will decrease in the afternoon and highs stay in the lower 80s. Football season starts Friday Night and the weather will be just like football weather under clear skies in the upper 50s.

WEEKEND THRU NEXT WEDNESDAY: High pressure, high pressure, and high pressure is what we will be hearing. High pressure for Saturday, another moves in Sunday Night for Monday, and then we will be in the “1016” for both Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs for Saturday in the upper 70s, Sunday and Monday in the upper 70s to low 80s, and the mid-80s for Tuesday and Wednesday.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather forecasted for overnight. We do know of the Slight Risk for Thursday, main threats of damaging winds, hail, heavy downpours, and a brief spin-up or two. If we see anything on Friday, it would be early in the morning. Afternoon does look low. Saturday thru next Wednesday, no major weather at this time.

TROPICAL UPDATE: At 5PM EDT, Tropical Depression Number 8 was born. It was located about 595 East-Southeast of Bermuda, winds at 35MPH, heading north at 18MPH, and the pressure was at 1013mb. It does look to turn into a Tropical Storm during the day on Friday. Forecasted to stay out in the Atlantic and not hit the US.

OVERNIGHT: High pressure to our southeast will move on out tonight. We will see partly cloudy skies with overnight lows in the mid-60s.

STORMY THURSDAY: We are under a Slight Risk of severe weather for the day Thursday. Our main threats will include damaging winds, hail, heavy downpours, and we might see a brief spin-up or two. We’ll start off the day with sunshine, but clouds will start to increase during the day ahead of a cold front. I do believe we will see some showers and thunderstorms forming during the afternoon. The front is forecasted to enter the Illiana area around the evening hours and is looking to bring a squall line. That is going to be our best time to see most of the damaging winds, hail, and heavy downpours. These storms do look to stay after sunset into the most of the overnight hours. Once we get on the back side of the front, our winds will shift from the north and temps will start to cool down and our severe weather chances will go down also. Highs for Thursday in the mid-80s and overnight lows in the mid-50s.

FRIDAY AND OVERNIGHT: Skies clear on Friday and we should see the sunshine by the Noon hour. It will be cooler in the mid-70s. Friday Night looks like a great night and will remind us all of football weather under clear skies in the low 50s, we might see a few locations in the upper 40s.

WEEKEND THRU NEXT WEDNESDAY: All I have to say is nice, nice, and nice. High pressure moves in on Saturday giving sunny skies in the mid-70s. No high pressure for Sunday, but one will move over Sunday Night, but daytime highs still in the mid-70s. High pressure for Monday with highs in the mid-70s, again. Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be on the back side, but in the “1016” area. Highs for both days in the lower 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather forecasted for overnight. We do know of the Slight Risk for Thursday, main threats of damaging winds, hail, heavy downpours, and a brief spin-up or two.

OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY: We should see skies stay on the partly cloudy side for part of the night, but they will decrease by daybreak. Overnight lows in the lower 60s. High pressure will set up camp for Wednesday and overnight Wednesday. This means skies will be sunny, temps will be on the warm side, and we will have just nice weather. Highs for Wednesday in the upper 80s and overnight lows in the mid-60s.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: Heading into Thursday, we will start off with sunshine, but by the afternoon hours, we head downhill. Clouds will start to increase ahead of a cold front that will give us a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs should be around the 90 mark, but once the clouds and rain move in, they will fall. Overnight Thursday looks to be the best chance of rain with the chances at just about 60% as the cold front moves over the Tri-State. Skies do stay mostly cloudy and in the upper 60s. Another chance of rain for Friday, about a 37% chance, under mostly cloudy skies in the low 80s.

WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK: High pressure will come in for the weekend, then leave, and then another high pressure will come in for the start of next week and stay. This will mean clear skies and temps staying just below normal. Saturday looking to be in the upper 70s, but Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday do look to be in the low 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather in the forecast for tonight or Wednesday, but we are under a Slight Risk for Thursday. Biggest threats should be damaging winds, hail, and maybe a brief spin-up or two, mainly in the afternoon. Nothing really big for the Slight Risk right now, but we are starting to head into fall and we do see our severe weather threat increase then. Maybe a few strong thunderstorms Friday morning, but the afternoon should just be fine. No threat from Saturday until next Tuesday.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Watching two different areas in the Atlantic tonight. First one is a low pressure area located 850 miles Southeast of Bermuda. Currently moving Northwest/North at 15MPH and has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. System number two is the leftovers of Tropical Depression 7. It currently sits over the inland of Central America moving West at 15-20MPH and has a 0% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, no development is forecasted.

OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY: Skies do look to be partly cloudy as we stay in the upper 50s. We do have a chance of seeing some patchy fog overnight and early in the morning. High pressure will stay to our south during the day and we will start to see our winds turn from the south. That means will see the sun and warmer temps. Highs for Wednesday look to be in the mid-80s. Some clouds do return for overnight Wednesday and lows should stay in the lower 60s thanks to the blanket affect.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: A cold front will move towards us on Thursday giving us a chance of showers and thunderstorms and they do look to be in the severe side. We start the day off with some sunshine, but clouds will start to increase during the day. Our highs will reach up towards the mid-80s, but once that cold front gets here, our temps should drop. The best timing for the front to reach us will be into the evening hours. That rain chance stays overnight on the back side of the front with lows in the lower 60s. Showers and storms stay for Friday morning, but will leave before the morning is over with. Clouds will then decrease, but temps will be cooler in the mid-70s.

WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK: We head towards the weekend into next Tuesday and we just nothing but below normal temps and clear skies.

THIS WEEKEND: We are finally getting a taste of fall this weekend in the Tri-State. A trough of low pressure that brought the severe weather last night to Central Indiana has moved off to the northeast and we are sitting on the back side of it. This is driving cooler, drier air our way for this weekend. It will be dry enough this weekend that we have an Elevated Fire Danger for Saturday and Sunday put out by the Paducah Weather office because of low humidity and dry vegetation. I will get to when the rain is coming in just one minute, but first to what we will be like for the weekend. Overnight tonight and Saturday are both looking clear with lows in the mid-50s. Saturday and Sunday highs in the low to mid-80s with sunny skies Saturday and mostly sunny turning partly sunny on Sunday. Overnight Sunday, a warm front will head towards the Tri-State increasing our cloud cover and giving a chance of isolated showers. The cloud cover will keep our temps in the mid-60s.

MONDAY THRU TUESDAY: Warm front will lift with a weak low pressure and weak cold front. Rain chances are staying at 28%. We are going to see partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 80s thanks to the warm front. On Tuesday, we clear out under mostly sunny skies in the mid-80s.

WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY: High pressure will be towards our east on Wednesday, but a stalled front will be off towards the southwest of the Tri-State. Therefore, I do believe that we are going to see sun and clouds during the day, but I am keeping it at partly sunny skies for the in mid-80s. Thursday, warm front lifts in the Tri-State putting rain chances at 33%. Otherwise, mostly cloudy with highs in the mid-80s. Friday, a cold front will move over keeping our chances at 26%, but we should remain under partly sunny skies in the mid to upper 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No big chances of severe weather for the next seven days, but we might have to watch out for Monday. Some storms could be on the strong side. Main threats should be some gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Watching Tropical Depression 7 about 450 Miles East of Barbados. As of the 8PM AST Advisory, winds were 35MPH, moving West at 24MPH, and pressure at 1009mb. NHC has this being a weak, and I do mean weak, tropical storm Saturday afternoon, but everything is just not together to make it a tropical storm, so no telling if this will be a weak tropical storm or just a tropical depression. NHC has not put out a 5-Day track if that tells you much about it.

THIS WEEKEND: After a stormy Thursday evening, we had nice fall weather this Friday to end the work week. Just to make it better, that nice weather will be here for the weekend. That trough of low pressure that moved over us Thursday is heading northeast and on the back side will push down cooler, drier air for the weekend. Not only that, we have an area of high pressure that will also head our way overnight Saturday and keep us clear once again. Overnight tonight and Saturday both look to be nice with lows in the low to mid-50s. Saturday and Sunday also nice under mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Overnight Sunday, I am watch a system ahead of a warm front that will head our way. We do have a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Clouds will increase and keep up above 60 for overnight.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY: On Monday, that warm front will life northward with a weak low pressure system and a weak cold front behind it. We have a 50/50 chance of seeing rain for Monday. Otherwise, skies mostly cloudy in the mid to upper 70s. Back side of the cold front Tuesday and we have an area of high pressure moving in also. I do believe that high will be weak, so we will see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the upper 70.

WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY: High pressure will move towards the east and winds will shift from the south putting our temps in the low to mid-80s under mostly sunny skies. Thursday and Friday gives us another chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms as another system will move in. Rain chances for Thursday at 30% and Friday at 14%. Remember, just a little bit of rain can cool us down just a by a few degrees. Thursday looking to be partly cloudy in the low to mid-80s and Friday around 80 under mostly sunny skies.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No big chances of severe weather for the next seven days, but we might have to watch out for Monday. Some storms could be on the strong side. Main threats should be some gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Watching Tropical Depression 7 about 450 Miles East of Barbados. As of the 8PM AST Advisory, winds were 35MPH, moving West at 24MPH, and pressure at 1009mb.
