Good Thursday to one and all. We continue to see gorgeous fall weather across our part of the world. To say this is as good as it gets during August would be an understatement. Heck, this would be awesome for late September! Speaking of our 9th month of the year, it’s just around the corner and I am tracking some changes to start things off.

Highs today will be back into the mid and upper 70s for much of the region. Sunny morning skies will see some clouds fill in during the afternoon hours.

Friday looks similar with just a small spike in temps compared to today. Still, things look great.

Moisture starts to increase over the weekend and that could cause a shower or thunderstorm to go up. The best chance appears to be on Sunday…

GFSTemps will warm back into the lower 80s for much of the region. Humidity levels will come up as well.

From there, it’s all about what happens with Tropical Storm Erika. The models continue to come up with different solutions with each run., but are targeting anywhere from Florida to the Carolinas for a possible hit. The Canadian model…

The GFS is similar, but a little slower and farther west…

There’s still a lot of time to watch and see what happens with this storm, and if it will have any direct impact on our weather here in Kentucky. Something to think about… Tropical systems can impact the behavior of the overall pattern across the United States. Some of the overnight model runs aren’t looking as warm into the first half of September with how they play Erika.

Here’s the latest 5 day track from the Tropical Prediction Center…

Have a great day and take care.
