Good Thursday to one and all. The remnants of Irma will continue to impact the bluegrass state today, but a surge of summer air is about to take center stage. We are heading into an extended run of temps deep into the 80s over the next week or so.

Let’s start with today and roll forward. Gusty showers and isolated storms will be noted, especially across central and eastern parts of the state. This won’t be as widespread as what we had on Wednesday…

Friday’s weather slowly improves with temps climbing back into the 70s for the entire state.

From there, it’s game on for the 80s to return. Highs this weekend will be from 80-85 in many areas as we keep a mix of sun and clouds. Those numbers are above normal…

While things look dry, I can’t rule out isolated afternoon and evening storms going up. The GFS is spitting out some rainfall this weekend…

This warm setup carries us into next week. This is also a time we will watch the east coast to see just how close Jose can get. The new European has the northeast with a super close call…

Make it a great Thursday and take care.
