We have another spectacular day taking shape across the region as our September feel rolls on. This calm pattern is about to turn a little stormy around here as the tropics continue to flex some serious muscle. That flexing has a chance to impact our weather next week.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with today. Temps out there this morning were deeeeeep into the 50s for lows. I mentioned last week that a few spots could approach the 50 degree mark. This morning&#8217;s lows from the Kentucky Mesonet show just how close we got&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-9pa8cd\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Ef3tYK3WAAMokqf?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Scattered showers and storms will flare up this afternoon across the east and southeast as moisture slowly creeps back into the picture. Here are your radars to follow along&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/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=\"https:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Showers and thunderstorms will then increase across the rest of the region Friday and continue into the weekend. It&#8217;s not going to rain all the time, but this is going to be on and off through Sunday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been highlighting the likelihood of the tropics getting super active once again and they are doing just that. It&#8217;s looking increasingly likely we will be dealing with double trouble getting into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend into early next week.<\/p>\n<p>Two storms are developing and will take aim at the US during this times.<\/p>\n<p>Tropical Depression 13 should be named at any moment. The National Hurricane Center forecast takes this into the Bahamas as a hurricane then impacting Florida before getting into the Gulf&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/storm_graphics\/AT13\/refresh\/AL132020_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind+png\/025357_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind.png\" alt=\"cone graphic\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tropical Depression 14 is also forecast to get into the Gulf of Mexico around the same time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"coneimage\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/storm_graphics\/AT14\/refresh\/AL142020_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind+png\/145738_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind.png\" alt=\"cone graphic\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This could be a wild looking setup with two systems in the Gulf at the same exact time. This is something the Canadian Model has been showing for a long time, so it may end up being the top dog with this setup.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the rest of your day and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good afternoon, everyone.
