10/13 - 8pm - Here Comes the Cool Down!

More pleasant weather is on the way for tomorrow, with some clouds and 85 degrees. A small chance of rain creeps into the forecast for what now looks like Wednesday through Friday, with highs in the 60's by Friday after a gradual cool-down. With high pressure becoming the dominant feature, this weekend should be sunny with highs in the upper 60's.

Tropical Depression Nana is spinning in the Atlantic with winds at 35mph. Its not expected to affect land and will most likely die out this week. An area of disturbed weather south of Cuba could become a tropical depression within the next couple of days and head northward. We'll keep an eye on that in case it wants to become a late-season storm. Hurricane season officially ends November 30th.

10/12 - 7:15pm - Still Warm, NWA is in Town!

I still can't believe how warm it is right now. We'll be in the mid 80's until Tuesday it now looks like with the chance of showers on Wednesday still on. Our storm chance on Friday has all but fallen off the computer models, so I think we'll actually be dry on Friday now with a small chance of a passing shower. Get ready for 60's and 70's late week after a few days of cooling.

The National Weather Association is holding their annual meeting in Louisville this week. Hundreds of meteorologists from around the nation have descended upon Louisville, including The Weather Channel's Dr. Greg Forbes, WGN's Tom Skilling, Good Morning America's Sam Champion, and many more. John Gordon, the head of Louisville's NWS office, is the chairperson for this year.

10/11 - 12pm - New Forecast Video

Looks like a pretty warm week ahead with a couple shots of rain thrown in.

10/10 - 4:15pm - Warm Weather Continues

I am in disbelief that its 82 degrees outside in the middle of October. We're even going to reach into the mid 80's this weekend and even into Monday. We'll see more seasonable temperatures by Tuesday with the return of the 70's and maybe 60's midweek. A chance of rain still exists from Tuesday into Wednesday.

Big snowstorm in the Rockies today and into the weekend... click here.

10/9 - 4:30pm - Foggy!

It was surreal getting out of bed this morning and not being able to see the house across the street. The fog that developed last night stayed around until mid morning in some locations. There's only a few instances where I can remember fog being that thick at my house, so this was definitely out of the ordinary.

Temperatures are still expected to soar into the mid 80's by Sunday with a cool-down into the 70's expected by early next week. There's still a chance of showers in the forecast for Tuesday night into Wednesday.

The website is now working after being unreachable yesterday for a majority of the day. Hopefully the servers at my hosting service will stay afloat for a while.

10/8 - 7:15pm - Back in Town, Website Down

I checked my site and blog a couple times during my vacation to make sure they were in working condition. To my horror, my website was out when I got home from school this afternoon! After checking around, I found out that my hosting service is experiencing a miniature crisis with servers down at the moment. They're saying the problem should be fixed very soon. Let's hope so!

In other news, we've seen quite a bit of rain today. My gauge at home shows .63" of rain since midnight, with likely higher amounts around the area. Fog will be a problem tonight and early tomorrow morning with all this moist air dropping in temperature. We will soar into the 80's for the weekend after a day in the upper 70's tomorrow. A cool down to more seasonable temperatures will occur by early next week with a chance of rain thrown in late Tuesday into Wednesday.

10/1 - 7:15pm - Cool Temperatures, Then a Warm Up?

With the month of October now in full-swing, it's expected that we'll have temperatures in the 60's and 70's. That will be true for Thursday and Friday, but we will see the return of lower 80's by Sunday and through the middle of next week. I'm thinking this could be our last batch of 80 degree temperatures for the year, so enjoy it while you can. Not a drop of rain is in the forecast for the next week.

I'm off to Florida until next Wednesday, so no blog posts or site updates until then. See you later!
