Tropical Storm Nestor continues to churn toward the Florida Panhandle and should make landfall early Saturday. Here’s the latest from the National Hurricane Center…
This storm heads toward the Carolinas, but will throw some rain into Kentucky. The main area will be across the southeast. Here’s the rainfall map from the NAM…
This sets the stage for a very strong cold front to blast the state on Monday. Showers and storms become widespread and some of the storms may be on the strong side and produce high winds…

Enjoy the evening and take care.
