We are rolling into the weekend with heat and humidity kicking back in, but it&#8217;s not here for the long haul. A wet and stormy pattern is taking shape for next week and that&#8217;s going to keep our temps much cooler for the final week of July.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get to that stormy setup, let&#8217;s focus on the heat rolling back in. Here&#8217;s the breakdown&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>TODAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Temps reach the low 90s east with middle and upper 90s far west.<\/li>\n<li>Humidity levels make it feel 95-100 east and 100-105 west.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s a small chance for a popcorn shower or storm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>SATURDAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Highs reach the mid 90s for much of central and eastern Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>The west makes a run at 100 degrees.<\/li>\n<li>Heat index values are firmly into the danger category across the west with a heat index of 110 or so for some. It&#8217;s a little cooler east.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a better chance for a few storms going up and we have to watch for a complex of storms making a run at us from the northwest.<\/li>\n<li>If that complex of storms does fire up, temps will be down a bit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>SUNDAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Temps are similar to the Saturday numbers but may come down just a touch.<\/li>\n<li>The heat index is still in the danger category.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Some showers and storms fire up late in the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A front drops into the region by Monday and Tuesday and it then slows down. That boundary likely hangs around all week long and is likely to give us a heavy rain and strong storm setup. The GFS shows these rounds of storms very well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GFS-10.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54164\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GFS-10.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We really need to be on guard for flash flooding issues in a pattern like this and the models are picking up on this potential.
