We were very close to getting some appreciable rain in the metro today. A small cell moved across the northern fringe of Jefferson County, but missed most of the central and southern suburbs. Other than that, all other storm activity was limited to downstate Kentucky and the rest of the South. Our storm threat is pretty much over for today because our area was storm-proofed by spotty storms sending cloud cover over us during the day, and in turn limiting our instability. Otherwise we would have seen more rain... the atmosphere did have time to recover after the storms from 2am this morning. There is a small possibility that we'll see some isolated storms as the cold front passes through tonight.
Tomorrow should see just a few clouds with a high temperature only in the mid-80's. Similar situation for Thursday as well. Next chance of rain looks to be on Friday, with highs in the upper 80's.
Tropical Storm Dolly became a hurricane today, prompting a Hurricane Warning to be issued for the southern coast of Texas. It's a Category 1 storm now, and I think it'll stay that way until it hits land tomorrow morning. It's not an awful storm, but it's certainly a warning to the Gulf and Atlantic coasts that it's time to start watching the tropics. Flooding could be a major issue to Texas and Mexico if levees break, according to officials.
