Good evening, everyone. It’s a late October feeling day across the bluegrass state as the rain train slowly pulls out of town. The focus for the rest of the week is on what happens with Hurricane Florence and whether or not this major storm can impact our weather.

Highs today are in the 60s and that’s about as cool as you can possibly get for this time of year. Showers are working out of southeastern Kentucky, but there’s still some very heavy rain along the border counties…

There are still some Flood Warnings left from the historic weekend rains…

Cooler than normal temps take us through the next few days, with isolated showers and storms possible by Wednesday.

I will update things tonight, so be sure and check back. Make it a good one and take care.
