Good Wednesday, everyone. We continue to have an early season taste of the tropics across the bluegrass state. Very warm temps, muggy air and a daily threat for showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the rest of the week and into the weekend.
Highs from today through Saturday should run in the low and middle 80s. Some upper 80s will be possible on any day featuring enough sunshine. Daily showers and storms will be around in scattered fashion. The action will increase by the end of the week as a cold front nears the area.
You can see this boundary moving in over the weekend…
Storms ahead of this may pack quite the punch. Some strong or severe boomers will be possible.
That front checks up across the region and slowly lifts back to the north, allowing warm and humid air to return. That should keep the storm chances going. The GFS rainfall forecast into next week…
The same model run expanded out to two weeks…
I leave you with your daily dose of tracking tools…

Enjoy the day and take care.
I thoroughly enjoyed the nice drink of water that the rain gave to Richmond last night. Farmers sure needed it.
Loved the rain ! My yard could use some more.
The rain we got last night was welcome and I wouldn’t mind seeing some more. The storm we got wasn’t bad and I could deal with more like that. Of course I would not like to see what Texas and the Midwest is seeing, but don’t want an extended dry spell either. ☺️. Anyway, every day s a great day. This one is no different. So enjoy hump day and have a safe one. Thank you Chris for everything you do. No words to tell you how much you are appreciated.
Hey Chris, great work as usual! What’s it looking like precipitation wise the second week in June? Too early to tell yet or do you have an idea of what it might be? Going to a 4 day festival and am hoping for some sunshine! Thanks!
finally some rain last night as Clay’s Ferry. we were getting parched. keeping an eye on the line that is about to come through here now.
The rain keeps sliding away from us. We get a little shower while areas around us get a frog choker. Sure do not want what Texas has had, but some rain is better than none, I guess. Anyway, everyone just enjoy the day, looks to be interesting.
