Key Points – Wednesday, August 9, 2017:
Synopsis: Hey good Wednesday morning! Not overly concerned for any rainfall today, starting off the day anywhere from 5 to 15º below normal with some patchy fog (will dissipate as the sun comes up each day this week). A few passing showers far to the south in the forecast area late tonight possible and isolated storms on the day Thursday. Heading into Friday the front continues to trek east which we think has the potential for additional thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley. Friday night into Saturday coverage increased to ~40/50% for rainfall, not expecting a widespread rainmaker…in the video we discuss the confidence and risks to the forecast into the weekend as there are some slight discrepancies in the data. If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed day!

A few scattered chances of rainfall Thursday into the weekend…in the video we discuss the spread in data in terms of total rainfall. Below is a look at every European ensemble member through Monday, the blue check marks represent the members that have ~0.5-1.0″. It’s a difficult forecast, check back often…but it’s key to remember not everyone will cash in on the rainfall here, some locations will stay drier.
Precipitation and temperatures from normal over the next week…the cooler regime continues while we feel overall the Ohio Valley stays below normal in precipitation as well.
