Good Saturday, folks. It’s the final weekend of June and we are tracking a bit of an increase in showers and storms. This increase looks to be a trend as we head into the big 4th of July week that’s quickly approaching. Oh yea, we keep the steamy temps going, but some changes are showing up a little after the 4th.

Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Highs will be back into the upper 80s to around 90 as heat index numbers climb into the 90s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms go up and, just like the past few days, could be on the strong side and produce heavy rains. Local wind damage and flash flooding will be possible. Your tracking tools in a bit.

Additional showers and storms will be noted on Sunday and Monday, but this action may try to dive in from the northwest…

Some of those storms could bring a better wind damage threat to the region.

The setup for our 4th of July week will keep the rounds of showers and storms going across the entire region…

Obviously, that kind of setup can cause some disruptions of some of our Independence Day celebrations throughout the bluegrass state.

Behind all that, there continues to be a signal for a trough digging into the eastern half of the country…

That would bring some steam relief to the region into the second week of July.

Back to the weather of today, here are your tracking toys…

Have a great Saturday and take care.
