Somewhat active today and tomorrow
HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Showers and thunderstorms could affect parades and celebrations
YOUR FIRST ALERT: 4th OF JULY
Thunderstorm chances really start to pick up on the 4th of July. We will start the day with partly to mostly cloudy skies. We will see a front push through which will keep the temperatures in the mid-80s.
In terms of Thunderstorm chances, the greatest chance of anything will be in the afternoon and evening hours. Wind and Lightning will be the main factors here.
How does this play out with other 4th of Julys? Let’s take a look
WARMEST: 98° (2012)
COLDEST: 71° (1972)
WETTEST: 1.64″ (1965)
**DISCLAIMER: This data is coming from London as the NWS Jackson’s records only go back to 1981.**
TODAY:
A sultry feel to the air already this 4th of July morning. It’ll be partly sunny, hot and muggy today with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Heavier bursts of rain are almost guaranteed with all of the available moisture in the atmosphere. The question is how strong the action gets this afternoon. Thus, we can’t rule out a stronger cell or 2. Highs will top out between 85° and 90°.
