9/6 - 9pm - Weather or Not...

Alright, so there's a big area of disorganized shower activity and a low just off the coast of Florida and Georgia. This thing is just drifting around in prime development waters just waiting. There's a pretty good bit of shear associated with an upper level jet that's almost ready to bug on out of New England, and I think that's when this thing is going to go tropical. The models don't know what's going on because of this jet being so finicky and thus they can't seem to get strength or placement for this next storm right. So by this weekend, once a ridge builds and the jet clears, we've got ourselves a tropical storm, possibly hitting the Carolinas.

Tomorrow is our last day in the 90's for the whole year! Then we'll have a rousing round of storms this weekend that will lead to upper 70's for highs next week. That's right, 90's to 70's in one week! Here's the new motto for Kentucky that I made up in place of "Unbridled Spirit": "Kentucky, where seasons change in less than a week." Pretty accurate, eh? It always seems that we don't have any buffer time between seasons. It's always ridiculously hot or freezing. No such thing as "warm" or "mild" in the Ohio Valley. But of course that's an exaggeration.
