Stray Downpours And Heat

AND ALLISON ROGERS AND PHOTOJOURNALIST JOHN MASSEY. THEY WERE OUT AND ABOUT TELLING THAT WEATHER STORY FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST NIGHT AROUND HERE. WE GOT A LITTLE BIT LUCKY. YEAH, IT STARTED THAT BREAKING NEWS AT 7:00. MIKE AND I WERE ON THE DESK, AND YOU GUYS GOT TO WORK. YEAH, IT GOT QUITE BUSY THERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST NIGHT. FORTUNATELY, WE DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THEY SAW THERE IN POSEY COUNTY AROUND HERE. WE DID HAVE SOME INTERESTING CLOUD STRUCTURES AND THINGS THAT WERE CERTAINLY QUITE OMINOUS. FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THAT MATERIALIZED. NOW, THE REMNANTS OF BERYL BASICALLY SCOOTING THROUGH THE APPALACHIANS. THERE STILL SEVERE WEATHER ONGOING WITH THIS SYSTEM TODAY. IT’S JUST MOVING AWAY FROM US AND TOWARDS THE BIG CITIES OF THE NORTHEAST. SO IN ITS WAKE, WE’RE STARTING TO DRY OUT. THE SUN IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO POP ITS WAY OUT HERE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. NOW, A FEW TRAILING SHOWERS, SCOOTING OUT OF PARTS OF MASON COUNTY. THAT’S IT FOR THE RAINFALL. AT LEAST ASSOCIATED WITH BERYL FOR US. NOW WE JUST NEED THE WINDS TO CALM DOWN AND THAT WILL HAPPEN TOO. HERE, ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN. WE’VE HAD GUSTS TODAY CLOSE TO 40, ESPECIALLY IN OUR NORTHERNMOST COMMUNITIES. RIGHT NOW, MOST OF OUR WIND GUSTS ARE GENERALLY IN THAT 25 TO ABOUT 30 MILE AN HOUR RANGE. STILL, GUSTY IS CLOSER TO I-70, GUSTING TO ABOUT 28 IN SPRINGBORO. AND THEN INTO THE LOW 20S. AS YOU GET DOWN INTO THE BLUEGRASS, I THINK MORE NOTABLY TODAY IS HOW COMFORTABLE IT FEELS RIGHT? WE’VE GOT THE BREEZE OUT THERE, TEMPERATURES THAT BARELY MADE IT TO 80, AND A LOT OF COMMUNITIES. THAT’S SOME REAL COMFORTABLE STUFF FOR THIS TIME. OF THE YEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE WHAT MOTHER NATURE IS SENDING OUR WAY IN THE SEVEN-DAY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT HOTTER AND A LOT MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THAN IT HAS BEEN FOR US IN FACT, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO RIVAL THE HOT STRETCH THAT WE HAD AT THE START OF SUMMER. IF YOU REMEMBER, IN JUNE AND IN FACT, I THINK THIS GO AROUND, THE HEAT WILL PROBABLY FEEL WORSE BECAUSE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THE HUMIDITY. YOU KNOW, ALL THAT BENEFICIAL RAIN WE’VE BEEN ENJOYING. WELL, AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK, WE’RE GOING TO BAKE THAT OUT OF THE GROUND. AND THAT MEANS HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE GOING TO BE QUITE OPPRESSIVE, AND IT WILL EASILY FEEL LIKE IT’S OVER 100, ESPECIALLY GOING INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. SO GET READY TO REALLY SWEAT HERE AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AROUND THE TRI-STATE. OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THERE’S THAT REFRESHING BREEZE WE’RE AT 79 DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 60S THAT WIND OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT 15. WE’VE GOT A GREAT EVENING UNDERWAY. IT STAYS BREEZY UNTIL IT GETS DARK, AND THEN ONCE IT GETS DARK, WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SETTLE OFF THROUGH THE NIGHT. SKIES WILL ALSO CLEAR. I EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT TO GET DOWN INTO THE MID 60S. NOW WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL RAIN COMING OUR WAY. HOWEVER, WE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TOMORROW FOR A COUPLE OF STRAY DOWNPOURS THAT TRY TO GO UP DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. IT WILL BE ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS WHERE NOT EVERYONE SEES RAIN, BUT THERE COULD BE A FEW DOWNPOURS AROUND THE AREA. THEY’LL FADE AWAY AND EVEN ON FRIDAY, THERE STILL MAY BE A STRAY DOWNPOUR OR TWO. BUT THEN WE’RE GOING TO SHUT THAT OFF AND THEN THAT’S WHEN WE START TO CRANK UP THE HEAT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SO JUST A FEW CLOUDS TONIGHT. THE WINDS WILL CALM DOWN. SHOULD BE PRETTY COMFORTABLE BETWEEN 60 AND 65 FOR MOST OF US. WE’VE GOT WARM SUNSHINE TOMORROW WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME STRAY DOWNPOURS. 85 YOUR AFTERNOON HIGH. IT’S NOT SHOWING UP, BUT AGAIN, ANY TIME IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER LUNCH TIME, I THINK WE COULD HAVE A COUPLE OF STRAIGHT ALLEN COURSE TO TAKE US INTO THE EVENING. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. MORE OF THE SAME. ON FRIDAY. WE GET TO 90 FRIDAY AND THEN WE ARE INTO THE LOW 90S OVER THE WEEKEND. NOW, OVER THE WEEKEND, THE HUMIDITY WON’T BE SO BAD, SO HEAT INDICES WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND 95 OR BELOW. BUT THEN AS WE GET INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY, NOTICE THESE ARE WEATHER IMPACT DAYS AND 95 IS THE HOTTEST. WE’VE BEEN ALL SUMMER. I THINK WE COULD ECLIPSE THAT NEXT WEEK, BUT WHEN YOU THROW IN THE HUMIDITY IT WILL LIKELY FEEL A LOT WORSE. IT WILL PROBABLY FEEL LIKE IT’S WELL INTO THE ONE HUNDREDS AND THEN MAYBE SOME STORMS IN HERE MIDWEEK TO BREAK DOWN THE HEAT. SOME MIKE AND ASHLEY. KE
