Today is Friday, June 26, 2026

I’ll issue special updates, as needed, through the weekend!

4:30 Update: Clouds have helped keep us stable today, lowering our risk for severe storms. Still, any storms that form overnight could be severe. I’ll keep an eye on that. Tornado watches are now in effect for western Kentucky until 10:00 pm. Much of that activity should stay just north of our area. Again, like I said this morning, those of you along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida are most at risk this evening and overnight.

Bringing you your tailor-made local weather forecast since 2017!

MM’s Hourly Forecast

5-Day Forecast

MM says…If you have outdoor plans today, keep an eye on the radar and stay tuned for any special updates. Otherwise, it’s a warm and humid day on the plateau!

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM says…Well above normal temps continue to be favored in the extended outlooks. Those outlooks are also favoring dry weather. Normal highs and lows this time of year are 82°/62°.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

We have some very active just to our northwest today. Severe storms are likely today across portions of Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana. Some of those storms could even occur in our neck of the woods. As that system moves south on Saturday, it will increase our rain and storm chances. That high pressure you see in the eastern Gulf will help funnel warm and humid air from the Gulf into our region. You’ll definitely be feeling that!

Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!

MM’s Forecast Update for the Plateau

Good evening, folks. I just wanted to quickly say that while t-storm chances are just 30-50% for Friday afternoon/evening, there are indications that any storm that forms could be severe. I say that often with summer storms but guidance is showing that severe risk to be a bit higher than for typical summer storms. I’ll continue to watch the guidance and see how this trends. The greater risk for severe storms will be to the west of the plateau.

Then, we’ll see a threat for severe storms on Saturday. That’s the threat I talked about in this morning’s update. Those threats are still low-end but, again, higher than for typical summer storm stuff.

There are indications that at least some tornado threat will exist. That could even be the case for a storm tomorrow afternoon/evening on the plateau. That risk is very low on Friday (but not zero) and low on Saturday. Again, these are things I’m watching closely and we’ll see how guidance trends overnight and in the morning. I’ll have a full update in the morning, so please stay tuned for that.

If you have outdoor plans tomorrow, don’t cancel them. Just make sure you have an indoor back-up plan and that you keep an eye on the radar, keeping in mind that any storm that does form could be severe.

You all have a wonderful evening. We have no weather worries for our Thursday night!

5-Day Forecast

MM says…Heat and humidity increase today. Be mindful of the risk for an isolated storm this afternoon.

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM says…Well above normal temps continue to show up in the extended outlooks. Those outlooks are also favoring dry weather. Normal highs and lows this time of year are 82°/62°.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

We have active weather to our north, west, and south. By Friday, some of that begins to catch up with us. High pressure remains in control of our weather enough to give most, if not all, of us another dry day. However, being on the backside of that high means southerly flow from the Gulf, which increases heat and humidity for us.
