August 23, 2016 Now this is hilarious and, quite honestly, Shark Tank-worthy. I think we can all agree that this summer has been hot and humid and we've all been trying to come up with creative ways to stay cool. But this idea is absolute genius. One local driver installed a window unit in the family van.
August 19, 2016 It seems like we just can't get a break from rain. And that trend looks to continue this weekend. The National Weather Service has placed parts of the WBKR listening area under a Marginal Risk for severe weather Saturday. Yep. In addition to heavy rain, we could see damaging wings and lightning. Here's the forecast.
The weather this year has been crazy. And, it's just getting crazier every day!
My friend, Carrie Howard, who lives off of Reid Rd. in Owensboro posted this photo to Facebook today with the caption, "Glad I don't have anywhere to be."
This summer has been unlike any summer I can remember. Usually, by August, it's really hot and everything is dead. This year though, the Ohio River Valley is more like the Amazon rainforest. I don't even water my plants! (Ha, like I actually ever watered my plants before...)
So, what's this winter going to be like? Well, I consulted the 2016-2017 Farmer's Almanac.
August 12, 2016 The National Weather Service is urging folks in the WBKR listening area to brace for rain. A lot of rain. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for parts of the tristate and forecasters say some places could see up to six inches of rain. And some isolated spots may see even more.
July 19, 2016 It has been hot and humid July and, this week, we are going to see that brutal trend continue. According to the National Weather Service forecast, we're going to top out near 100 degrees later this week and the heat indices are going to be scorching. While some folks have the comfort and luxury of working inside air-conditioned offices, others are working outside in the brutal heat. Our friend, Keith Todd, with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, is sharing some important information about how to be aware of health issues caused by working in extreme temperatures.
July 14, 2016 I can't honestly remember a wetter July and I've been here a long time. Seriously, I wouldn't mind having a little break. At least we have some folks out there who are quick with their cameras or camera apps when the storms do happen.
July 13, 2016 Boy oh boy! Here we go again. The National Weather Service has extended its SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER to include a good chunk of the tri-state's northwest quadrant.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for the Tri-State until 2pm!
July 8, 2016 I wanted to take some time to see why Daviess County KY is in a 'State of Emergency' so I toured the city.
A very warm and humid southwest wind flow will provide fuel for more thunderstorms today. The primary hazards will be flooding and locally damaging winds...
