Strong storm chances rise Wednesday night

1 week ago | wdrb.com | Bryce Jones

Another day, another scattered storm chance for Tuesday. After flash flooding in E-Town yesterday, we will need to watch for that potential again in some storms that pop-up again this afternoon. As we continue to heat up, much like the last few days, scattered storms develop. Wind energy aloft still isn't very strong so a few of these could be slow movers again and put heavy rainfall down over localized locations for a longer period of time.

After many hit or miss downpours in our area yesterday, we are far from done. More is on the way for part of Father's Day for some of us and even more for part of the work week. You can see how some of us yesterday got a lot of rain in a short amount of time. This is from the Cravens, KY area between Bardstown and Boston.

More gully washers for Saturday

1 week ago | wdrb.com | Bryce Jones

We're starting to get into a "rinse & repeat" cycle around our area for the weekend and for a good chunk of the work week as well. If you have outdoor plans today, you're going to have to dodge scattered storms this afternoon. Here's what some of those could look like:A lot of the morning is/has been dry. That is because this is when we are at our coolest. As we start to warm up, we build up more storm energy.
Hazy heat & pool days ahead

2 weeks ago | wdrb.com | Bryce Jones

With more rain this past Friday and part of the weekend, if you have a pool or have planned to go to one, there hasn't really been very many days that are "pool worthy". Today and the next two are good opportunities for that! Dew points are much lower today than they have been recently, which is why it doesn't feel nearly as humid outside today. With that being said, there is still that "haze" in the sky despite not having much cloud cover.
What feels humid?

As we head into the summer months when we start to show you the Muggy Meter more often, it's helpful to discuss what feels humid and what feels nice. We have set up our Muggy Meter to show you dew points and how the air feels at each of those levels. The dew point is a measure of how much moisture is in the air, and it is measured in degrees like the temperature.
Another round of storms arrives Monday

2 weeks ago | wdrb.com | Bryce Jones

Most of our afternoon for Sunday will end up being dry and we'll even squeeze out some sunshine by mid-late afternoon as well! We can't say the same for our Monday, however. An approaching cold front coming out of the northwest will get storms rolling over our area again. Monday morning will start off dry before weakening showers roll into our western counties around the morning commute. These will be weak showers because of the time of day. There isn't much storm energy that early in the morning.

More showers and storms are on the way for part of your Saturday. Luckily, it is not an all-day ordeal. If you have plans outside today, let's go through when you need to have a backup plan inside. The majority of the first half of the day is dry. We will have a lot of cloud cover, but other than a few spotty showers, we are mostly dry through mid-afternoon. After around 3:30pm, shower and storm chances begin to increase.

Remembering the F4 Tornado in Bullitt County 29 Years Later

1 month ago | wdrb.com | Bryce Jones

Twenty-nine years ago today an F-4 tornado crossed through our communities causing more than $100,000,000 in damage. Miraculously no one was killed and only 10 people were hurt by this tornado that was on the ground for 30 miles. At its widest it was half a mile wide! On May 28, 1996, a tornado's formed in Jefferson Memorial Forest, going on a 30-mile path of destruction through Bullitt and Spencer counties.
