Good Thursday, folks. Many areas have had, at least, some rain for the past 7 days in a row and a few will make it 8 in a row out there today. 8 is great, but why stop there? Another system is on the way for the weekend, bringing more widespread showers and storms back into the bluegrass state as our cooler than normal and wetter than normal summer rolls on.
Temps today are deep into the 80s and may flirt with 90 in the west. A mix of sun and clouds will be noted and we will also see scattered showers and storms going up, especially across central and eastern Kentucky.

Probably in the last seven days we accumulated around 2.50 inches of rain here in parts of Taylor county. Now we need to dry out, but that doesn’t look like it will happen according to the local weekend forecast.
With the tame Summer temperatures in place, what will our Autumn weather look like ? I’m not going to even guess.
Yesterday at my house was great.
I did some work outside and it was very comfortable.
