We have a cold front moving into the region today and this front will produce some additional rounds of thunderstorms. This front will also usher in a much better brand of air as we close out July and say a hearty hello to August.<\/p>\n<p>Steam and storms will be the main players out there today. Temps will be around 90 degrees, but humidity levels will make it feel quite a bit hotter than that. The storms that crank could be strong and put down a ton of rain. Local flash flooding is a definite possibility, again. Your tracking tools in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>That front pushes to our south and east late Thursday. The early part of the day can still crank a shower or storm with the cooler and drier air sinking in as the day wears on. There should still be a nice temp\/humidity gradient from north to south early on.<\/p>\n<p>Friday looks pretty darn good with low and middle 80s for many with much lower humidity levels.<\/p>\n<p>The first weekend of August will feature a mix of sun and clouds with pretty nice temperatures. I can&#8217;t rule out a stray shower or storm going up in this northwesterly flow.\u00a0The readings will inch up a bit as we await the arrival of the next cold front early next week. That means an increase in showers and thunderstorms as the front slowly pushes in.<\/p>\n<p>The air coming in behind that for the middle and end of next week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GFS-TEMPS-11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15072\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GFS-TEMPS-11.png\" alt=\"GFS TEMPS 1\" width=\"403\" height=\"1104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GFS-TEMPS-11.png 403w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GFS-TEMPS-11-110x300.png 110w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GFS-TEMPS-11-374x1024.png 374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/a>Let&#8217;s track today&#8217;s increase in storms&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.html\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.gif\" alt=\"Latest Day 1 convective outlook\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current watches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/validww.png\" alt=\"Current Watches\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible watch areas<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/validmd.png\" alt=\"Current MDs\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centerImage wide99\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWATCHES.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centerImage wide99\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWARNINGS.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=PAH&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1293824059&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=LVX&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129536&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=JKL&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129776&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Have a great day and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Wednesday to one and all.
