Good Saturday everyone. The weather of late has been very nice and a far cry from how much of the month of August has been. Hot days and scattered storms were the norm for most of this month and it looks like August will be getting its groove back as we close out the month.

Hot and humid weather will be moving back in this weekend and will set up camp into much of next week. The threat for some scattered showers and thunderstorms may come calling as well. We have a small shot at seeing a popcorn shower or storm later today across the far southern counties. The bulk of the state will see partly sunny skies as temps soar back into the mid and upper 80s with low 90s in the west.

In recent days… I posted a couple of rainfall maps from the NAM and Canadian Models showing a nice influx of moisture into the western part of the region. That is looking more and more like it will become a reality from later Sunday into early next week. How far east that stuff can get is the big question… but I would think the threat for some showers and storms is certainly there for central and western Kentucky. East of that and we are likely talking isolated stuff at best.

The latest run of the NAM continues to show this juice…

Outside of any rains… highs into the middle of next week will likely be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

The tropics continue to be active with Danielle, Earl and the future Fiona…

TC Activity

Danielle is going to be wide right of the east coast… Earl should come closer to the coast than Danielle and will have some work to do before it can actually threaten the east coast. Fiona may be the one that actually causes the most concern along the east coast.

Here is what the European Model shows with Earl and Fiona next Friday morning…

It should be an interesting next few weeks for hurricane trackers as the Atlantic season is really off and running now.

Have a great weekend and take care.
