We visited Lawler Elementary in Leitchfield Monday. Ms. Sam's 4th graders were a blast! We watched weather conditions change in real-time from our nearby site in Grayson Co., reflected back on the #TotalSolarEclipse , talked some #climate along with severe weather safety. #kywx

Today marks the 26th anniversary of Bowling Green, KY's infamous 'Hailstorm of '98'! Here's our writeup from the KY Climate Center website from a year ago about that historic storm: kyclimate.org/topic/64053011… #kywx

NOAA's SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has much of KY under a Marginal-to-Slight Risk for strong-to-severe t-storms this evening. Main threats: Hail, locally damaging winds.
Dew points (measurement of moisture) are up considerably this afternoon, supporting storm development. #kywx

Growers/gardeners take note: The Commonwealth may not have seen its last frost or freeze of the season yet. #kywx

A weak boundary is advancing SE through the Commonwealth today. Not only is it triggering scattered showers, it's also producing strong winds! A peak gust to 47 mph occurred a bit ago at our Wayne County site. Temps in the 40s across the central/east are adding a chill! #kywx

After several grey, gloomy days through mid-week, the sun emerged just in time to put a little more color into the evening skies in Shelby & Warren Cos. yesterday. Parts of the state will see yet another round of showers today. #kywx

Can you 'find the front'? We've included a wind map to help you out. 🙂 #kywx

We had so much fun talking Mesonet, weather, and #severeweather safety with the 4th graders at Burgin Independent School in Burgin, KY (Mercer Co) Wednesday!
Big thanks to Ms. Meade for the invite to present to the students! #outreach #kywx

Here's our event webpage for the Total Solar Eclipse: weather.gov/pah/SolarEclip… Temperatures dropped a bit more than the 2017 eclipse, with a 5 to 11 degree drop in temperatures during or shortly after totality.

It's 'CoCoRaHS Hail Week'! Here's some great info on how to report and measure hail: cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?p…

Drought Monitor: The amount of real estate in KY that had been in at least D0 conditions shrunk a bit with this morning's update. However, the percentage of D1 conditions in W KY remained almost the same as last week. #kywx

Latest cloud forecast for MON afternoon. There's still a possibility that clouds could affect viewing of the #TotalSolarEclipse for the Commonwealth. However, at this time, fewer clouds are favored over the area that will experience totality (far W/NW Kentucky). #kywx
