Sat Late Evening

Nice late night shower formed right over us around 11pm.

Wed Mid Afternoon

Yippee! Rain! A line of storms formed strongly west of us and then started to weaken as they neared the river. Luckily, one of the strongest cells held together and gave much of Oldham a pretty nice shower. Rain started falling here in the northeast party of the county at 2:51PM. At the peak of the storm the rain rate was 1.92 inches per hour. That didn't last long, of course. So far (as of 3:08PM) we've received .09 inches. We'll get a little more from this storm and then there's hope for some more rain this evening as things are firing up a bit out west again.

Tue Late Afternoon

Soil is getting pretty dry. I hope one of these rainmakers that have been skirting around us will mosey over our way. Eastern Jefferson County got a pretty good shower about a half-hour ago. That one looks like it might give us something in Oldham.

Today is an "Ozone Action Day." If you don't know what that is, go here.

Monday Mid Morning

No frost at all here. Never got any colder overnight than the low 40's.

Wed Late Evening

The wind is really kicking up. The house is rattling a bit.

Wed Early Evening

Those of use who rushed to mow the grass today lucked out with a mostly dry afternoon. Most of the rain stayed north.

Fri Mid Morning

Some erroneous readings this morning due to a power failure on the station. We obviously got rain overnight but it didn't register. Power has been restored.

Thu Mid Morning

Foggy this morning. Some Indiana schools have a 2 hour delay due to fog. OK - enough with the gloomy weather. We saw a peek of sun last Saturday and a sunny afternoon on Tuesday. Other than that, it just seems like cloudy, dreary weather all the time. We have a slight risk of scattered, severe storms this afternoon. I'd almost welcome the change.

Tue Early Evening

It was a pleasure to meet Kevin Jeffries this afternoon. He was in the neighborhood and stopped by to say hello. Kevin has several farms in the area, including the corn and soybean fields that are planted right here in Sycamore Run. We have a link to his weather station over in Ballardsville in our links section. Or, you can click here.

Kevin's one of several folks who have told me that they find our soil moisture and temp data quite useful.

Sun Mid Morning

Derby Day never got as bright as we hoped. But at least the heavy rains held off. Rain is ending here. More rain is in the forecast for the afternoon.

Derby Day - Late Morning

Starting to clear here. Precip looks like it's going to stay south of Louisville area. This could turn out to be a spectacular Derby Day!

Fri Mid Evening

Kentucky Oaks came off without weather problem. The parties got a little wet early this evening. And Derby looks...well, drippy. Not weather related, but I thought you might enjoy Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra's baby pictures.
