Good Sunday to one and all. A familiar pattern is trying to fight back into the bluegrass state in the coming days.

That setup may carry us into the middle of the month as cooler shots of air dive in.

Today will feature a small threat for a shower or storm will normal early August temps.

This changes up a bit on Monday as a cold front sweeps in here. That should cause a line of showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and evening…

Have a great day and take care.
