REGIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
307 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013

MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SOME MILD CONDITIONS WERE IN
PLACE ACROSS THE COAL FIELDS THIS MORNING. 7 AM TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY RANGED FROM THE MIDDLE 60S TO AROUND 70 DEGREES. NORMAL
LOWS FOR THE MIDDLE OF JUNE ARE IN THE MIDDLE 60S. ABUNDANT MORNING
SUNSHINE QUICKLY PUSHED THE MERCURY INTO THE 80S AT MANY LOCATIONS
BY NOONTIME.

A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS WAS ON DISPLAY THIS AFTERNOON OVER EASTERN
KENTUCKY. HOT CONDITIONS WERE ALSO ON TAP...WITH MID AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES. TYPICAL HIGHS
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE IN THE LOWER 80S. THE HUMID CONDITIONS
MADE IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS WELL INTO THE 90S AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON.

A LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO OUR
NORTHWEST IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT AND THEN DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE APPALACHIANS TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE AND PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...MAINLY LATE TONIGHT. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED
EASTERN KENTUCKY IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. STAY TUNED TO
NOAA WEATHER RADIO...TUNE INTO YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL MEDIA OR LOG IN
TO WWW.WEATHER.GOV/JKL FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION. BE ESPECIALLY ALERT AND TAKE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS EARLY BECAUSE THE TIMING OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER WILL BE
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WHILE MANY PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP. THE THREAT
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY AS
THE FRONT WORKS ACROSS THE REGION. BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT...A MUCH
LESS HUMID AIR MASS WILL INVADE FROM THE NORTH TO FINISH THE WEEK.

ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...IN 2004...THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY
HEAVY RAIN BROUGHT FLASH FLOODING TO MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS EASTERN
KENTUCKY. SOME OF THE WORST FLOODING OCCURRED IN FLEMING COUNTY
WHERE A TEN FOOT WALL OF WATER RUSHED DOWN FLEMING CREEK AND CAUSED
THE DESTRUCTION OF HOMES AND VEHICLES IN THE SOUTH LICK AREA. AN
ESTIMATE OF A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGE WAS DONE. OTHER AREAS
THAT WERE HIT HARD BY FLASH FLOODING WERE ELLIOTT...PIKE...LETCHER
AND MENIFEE COUNTIES.
