On September 9, 2026, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that the summer of 2026 was the hottest on record for the United States.

Unfortunately, the extreme heat may not be finished just yet. AccuWeather has issued a heat warning for Wednesday, September 16, as unusually hot conditions are expected to continue across the region.

Please take the heat seriously. Stay indoors and in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible, drink plenty of water, and avoid unnecessary strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. If you must work or spend extended time outdoors, take frequent breaks in a cool or shaded area and pay attention to signs of heat exhaustion or heat-related illness.

Even though we're well into September, summer apparently isn't quite ready to let go.

Just a heads up folks. Do not rely on just one single source for your weather alerts.

Earlier today, Radar Omega was showing it was raining on Christy Creek. At the same exact time, WeatherWise was not showing any rain at all.

Then just a few minutes ago I got a call from the Rowan Alert system stating that the severe thunderstorm warning for our area had expired, while at the same time, the National Weather Service was issuing another warning for our area.

I'm not sure what's going on. But when it comes to weather, have multiple sources for information and always err on the side of caution.

I'll be the first to admit I've not seen the forecast, but from everything that I'm seeing on social media, Kentucky is expecting very severe weather on Tuesday - so much that nationally renowned storm chasers are planning on being in the state.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, friends.
