Good Wednesday, everyone. Steamy air continues to fire up rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the region. In addition to the heavy rain threat, a few of the storms could become severe and I have the blog all set to track the action.

There really isn’t a whole lot more that I can say about the week. The headlines should suffice…

– The storms come at us in waves through the weekend and each wave will contain torrential rainfall. The greatest threat for flash flooding problems will be across central and eastern Kentucky.

– A few of the storms may contain high winds and hail.

– This is a very steamy period with high humidity levels and toasty temps.

– Daily temps will be determined by the timing of the rounds of storms. 90s will be common across the west. Central and eastern Kentucky’s temps are not nearly as clear cut. For one, there will be more clouds and storms. The other big player… a super soaked ground with green grass and lush vegetation.

Looking farther down the road into next week… the models are showing the tropics coming to life. Several of the models are suggesting a storm gets into the Gulf of Mexico.

There’s a big ole grain of salt alert with that map, but that certainly wouldn’t be good for Labor Day Weekend.
