Good Monday, everybody. Here’s an oldie, but a goodie to start things out… Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be common across Kentucky this week. A very busy pattern for August is taking shape as we have no shortage of cold fronts to track.

Moisture increases today from south to north with a pipeline of juice setting up from the Gulf of Mexico into our region. Showers and thunderstorms will go up and a few could become strong. We will also have to watch for some local high water issues.

Scattered storms will be around again Tuesday with a tropical feel to the air. This humid and unstable atmosphere is likely to lead to some pretty big storms later Wednesday into Wednesday night. That’s when we see a powerful storm system race from the plains into the western Great Lakes. That drags a slow-moving fall cold front into our region with storms developing ahead of it…

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible late Wednesday into early Thursday with that kind of setup. This is a heck of a deep trough pushing the front in here…

Lingering showers and storms will hang around through Thursday as a wave of low pressure develops along the front. Much cooler air comes in behind this front, and with clouds and rain around, highs on Thursday may really struggle…

The weather for Friday into Saturday looks a little iffy for the start of the high school football season. Temps should be pleasant, but the threat exists for a shower or thunderstorm.

Another strong front approaches the region from the northwest later Sunday into early Monday…

Euro 2

Showers and storms should fire once again with cooler air coming in behind the front into early next week…

This is one of the more consistent weather patterns I’ve ever seen around here. Very little has changed since the summer of 2013 and it just keeps on keepin’ on!

Let’s get back to today’s action and do a little tracking…

 

 

Make it a great Monday and take care.
