STORM2K

The fresh TOR in Graves County is headed almost straight for KSP Post 1.






Not sure if anything happened in Breckenridge County.

Twitter feed now showing a large tornado on the ground

I lost it on radar.

So, now they put a Watch up after there have already been several warnings.

Something strange about the report time though.

Partly cloudy, with a low around 40.
Sunday
Partly sunny, with a high near 65.

We are forecast for 41, I thought you would be warmer being SW of me. I'm not totally convinced it will get that cold, it will be interesting to see what happens.

I just went back to look at the temps for May '11. 1.1 below normal, with 3.8" above normal precip. Several days 10 degrees or more below average. About this time that year, people were cleaning up from record flooding. We all remember that summer.

This year, despite several inches of rain over the last couple of weeks, there is no flooding. In fact, the rivers are somewhat low in comparison.

Our forecast low for Saturday night is now 39F.

Saturday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 62. Northwest wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.


Saturday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 41. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm in the evening.

62 and 20 MPH winds won't feel like mid-May at all.

60 officially now and the forecast doesn't call for 70 again until Wednesday.

Winds dropped off and it feels decent with the Sun out at least. Clear overnight -- will we fall below 40?

I'm seeing 39 on one screen and 40 on another, so we're right in that area. Record low shows 39 in 1997, so we may be tied for that.

Looks like 42 was the low at the airport, very close to us. This matches a few nearby stations as well. Lowest recorded was 39 out in Owenton. Tonight forecast is 37.

Record for today was 34 set in 1973.

Record for the 16th at PAH is 36 also in '97, so I don't think we'll hit that one.

CVG hit 32 @ 7AM, tying the record low for today (unofficial still).

OUCH

... Record daily low temperature set at Cincinnati...

A record low temperature of 31 degrees was set at the Cincinnati
Northern Kentucky International Airport on may 16 2016.This breaks
the old record of 32 set in 1997.

Tuesday
Showers likely, mainly between 8am and 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 59.

High near WHAT?
