Oh and another system for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Temps out there today are generally 75-80 for central and eastern Kentucky with low 80s in the west.<\/p>\n<p>A boundary moves in on Wednesday and gives us the threat for clusters of showers and thunderstorms to roll across the state. This isn&#8217;t all day rainfall with lots of dry times showing up. Some of the storms from late Wednesday into Wednesday night can be strong or severe. The Storm Prediction Center is watching the potential for severe storms during this time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Damaging winds and large hail are the primary players with this setup.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a setup we also have to monitor for too much rain in some areas. If we get repeat thunderstorms over the same areas, high water issues may develop.
