Good Thursday, everyone. We have some much better air pushing back into the bluegrass state as we get ready to close out July. This is all part of a pattern that should skew cooler than normal into the first half of August. The big question is… Will that pattern turn back into a stormy one?

Our day will start on the muggy side with the front slowly dropping south across the state. Isolated showers and storms will be possible early on. Humidity levels will decrease from north to south as the day wears on with highs mainly in the low and middle 80s for many. Higher numbers may be noted in the south and far west just ahead of the front.

Friday looks absolutely great with highs in the low and middle 80s with mostly sunny skies and comfortable humidity levels. Not a bad way to say goodbye to such an ugly month.

Our northwesterly wind flow over the weekend will mean a couple of weak disturbances may dive in with isolated showers and storms. The best chance looks to be on Sunday. You can see how this flow gets established into early next week…

Climatology tells us this is the hottest part of the year, so that’s a pretty good look to see around these parts. Lots of daily highs for next week will be in the low and middle 80s.

Can the pattern turn back into a stormy one? Unfortunately, yes. Notice the little dips in the jet stream showing up toward the end of next week…

Let’s track today’s better conditions moving in…

Make it a great day and take care.
