Let me start out by saying we are making the switch to the brand new Kentucky Weather Center site today. This may take us offline for a bit, but it shouldn&#8217;t take too long to get everything up and running. You will need to register with valid email and information on the new site if you want to comment or use the brand new weather message board. I&#8217;ll get more into this in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>We have an increase in showers and thunderstorms booming across the state today and this ups the ante on local high water issues. This continues to be part of a setup featuring daily rounds of showers and storms as the steam hangs tough.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s storms will be in clusters, but the overall coverage will be much greater than the past few days as another front approaches from the northwest. The flash flood threat is elevated in a setup like this, so let&#8217;s keep an eye out on those flood prone areas.<\/p>\n<p>The storms may also be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail.

Once again, the local flash flood threat will be with us.<\/p>\n<p>The flow changes up a bit this weekend and early next week, but it will still feature steam and more storms. Rounds of thunderstorms will be diving in from the northwest during this time.<\/p>\n<p>The models have been going back and forth on a pattern change to end July and begin August. Some of the latest data suggests a trough dives into the eastern part of the country and sends the worst of the heat out west.<\/p>\n<p>EURO<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-5.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42705\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-5.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>EURO ENSEMBLES<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-2-1-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42704\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-2-1-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>EURO ENSEMBLES CONTROL<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-3-1-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42703\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EURO-3-1-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tropics continue to spring up right on cue with one system in the Gulf and another in the Atlantic&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/xgtwo\/two_atl_5d0.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I leave you with the Wednesday edition of your storm tracking tools&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWATCHES.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWARNINGS.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/builder.zoomradar.net\/zoomradar_weather_map\/weather_page.php?key=dlFZs5IY4VCw7bK\" width=\"560\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"seamless\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/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#\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current watches<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/validww.png\" alt=\"Current Watches\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible Watch Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/validmd.png\" alt=\"Current MDs\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful Wednesday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Wednesday, everyone.
