Our tropical pattern rolls on with high humidity, toasty temps and scattered storms. This action will hang tough through the middle of the week and may get a true tropical kick in the pants later this week. While all this is going on, there are subtle signs of changes showing up in the longer run.<\/p>\n<p>Highs today should be able to get into the upper 80s and low 90s across the entire region. The only thing that would keep this from being the hottest day, so far, would be a little more in the way of storm action. These continue to look scattered, so prepare to sweat. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>The threat for storms should increase some later tonight and into Tuesday.

Something similar may set up for Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we have to wait and see what happens with the tropical system in the western Gulf. That system is going to work northward through the Mississippi Valley and then turn the corner into the Ohio Valley. Areas along and near the patch of what&#8217;s left of that system can expect some very heavy rainfall. Will that include Kentucky? That&#8217;s the question I have to tackle in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the latest track forecasts from some of the tropical models&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Tropics.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14718\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Tropics.png\" alt=\"Tropics\" width=\"717\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Tropics.png 717w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Tropics-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those are updating every few hours, so chances the map already looks different from the version you see above.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Model has been the most consistent with development and track of this system.
