Cloudy skies with rain chances for most of the day, then heavier showers and thunderstorms chances ramp up again tonight-90%. Numerous models are showing a line of showers and thunderstorms racing across the region late this evening/night. Most of the strong to severe storms will be in the south in LA, MS, and AL where the National Weather Service has a slight risk. We are still not ruling out the chance for a few isolated strong storms in portions of KY, and TN. The best timing will be from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm est for Central Kentucky.

Christmas Eve Weather & Photography

Freezing Fog Sunrise

Good Christmas Eve Morning, we're currently waking up to freezing fog and temperatures in the mid 20's, and will warm up to the mid 40's today. Tonight the low will be near 31 degrees, and some of you may see a few flurries move in after midnight through Christmas morning, not expecting much accumulation with this at this time. Highs on Christmas Day will remain in the mid 40's as well.

Freezing Fog

Here are pictures of the freezing fog on contact with the grass this morning.

While it's certainly not snow, it is enough to finish putting me in the Holiday spirit & hopefully you too!

Winter Solstice

Today, December 21st, 2018. At 5:23 pm, it will officially be the first day of Winter! Snow Lovers, I'm wishing you nothing but many Winter Storms this season. As a Snow Lover myself, I am hoping to see at least 4 measurable Winter Storms. How about you all, how many do you wish to see?

Welcome

Welcome to WeatherGraphy Weather & Photography Blogs. 

A little background about myself is that I became extremely interested in severe weather at the age of ten years old, and I have been in love with it ever sense. As time went on I became a Skywarn Storm Spotter, Storm Chaser Photographer, and I am currently pursuing a Meteorology Degree. 

I am creating weather blogs for extreme weather events for the past, present, and future. My goal for these blogs are to help me grow as a broadcaster so I can get important weather information out to the public in a timely, professional manner.

Facts and important information like watches and warnings for example, will come directly from professional Meteorologists or Scientists from the NWS, NOAA, NASA, and the NHC.
Other models used on this site will always be provided a link directly to their site.  The most common are courtesy of Pivotal Weather, or Tropical Tidbits(Levi).

When severe weather is not imminent, I will feature weekly or monthly weather blogs that may include pictures.

I hope that you all will enjoy my future blogs, have a great day/night. 😊
