Good Friday, everyone. We are rolling our way into the final weekend of June and it is looking like a rather stormy one across Kentucky. A plume of tropical moisture is working across into the region and this will help ignite widespread shower and storm action.

The muggy factor is back again today with highs into the upper 80s to around 90. Thunderstorms will become more common across the west and south with scattered action in the north.

Watch the increase in the coverage and intensity of the rain and storms over the next few days…

Heavy rainfall will be a good bet and some local high water issues may occur. Highs will generally run in the 80s with the tropical humidity continuing.

Additional rounds of showers and storms will take us into early next week as we await the arrival of a cold front dropping in from the northwest. This front may touch off a healthy line of storms as it rolls through here around the middle of the week.

The models continue to insist on a shot of cool air coming in behind it for the 4th of July. The European Model has been showing this for a few days and the GFS agrees…

GFS 2Enjoy your Friday and take care.
