What&#8217;s left of Laura is working away from the region, but a cold front can still spark a few strong storms for parts of the state today. More storms roll in later Sunday into early next week with more cold fronts ahead. The overall setup is likely to turn pretty darn chilly into the following week.<\/p>\n<p>Let me begin with today&#8217;s front and what it brings. This is dropping in from the north and northwest, touching off a broken line of thunderstorms. The best chance for strong storms is across the southern and southeastern Kentucky. Here&#8217;s today&#8217;s Severe Weather Outlook from the SPC&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Much of the day is fairly dry for most of the region with still some tropical humidity and temps just ahead of the front. This front only gets so far into the state tonight and Sunday before it slows down. You can see this on the Sunday Morning low forecast from the Hi Res NAM&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAM-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43354\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAM-8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"967\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAM-8.png 967w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAM-8-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAM-8-768x602.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hight on Sunday will be in the 70s for much of the area as clouds stream back in.

As mentioned, it gets MUCH cooler than normal behind this.

Highs in the 60s for a few days?<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is shaping up to be the polar opposite to last September when we dried and fried.<\/p>\n<p>BTW&#8230; The tropics will likely throw a few more storm threats at the country over the next few weeks.
