Highs are near normal in the 80s with a mix of sun and clouds. The atmosphere has enough juice in it to spit out a couple of showers and storms. Here&#8217;s hoping those don&#8217;t crasy any outdoor activities, but I have the radars on duty to help you out\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-wrap\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content\">\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 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A cold front works toward the region late Wednesday and Thursday. This will fire off scattered showers and storms across the area on Wednesday with the greatest concentration across western Kentucky. This is where some of the storms could be strong or severe and the Storm Prediction Center has this area in the severe weather risk&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png?1688364020\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This threat may focus a little farthe east across the rest of the state for Thursday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody3.png?1688369284\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some pleasant temps will then be noted by the time we get into Friday and early Saturday as we lower the storm risk.<\/p>\n<p>That lower risk won&#8217;t last much longer as waves of showers and storms return to the region late Saturday and Sunday. This kicks off another active weather setup and we need to watch for an upper level low to cut off in the Great Lakes or Ohio Valley. The Canadian is the most aggressive model with this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Canadian.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60012\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Canadian.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Canadian-2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60011\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Canadian-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This system brings another cooler than normal week to the region as blocking goes up across Greenland and into western Canada.

That&#8217;s what gave us the week long severe weather and heavy rain we just came out of. Well&#8230; this setup may try to develop again late next week into the following weekend&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EURO-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60015\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EURO-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"964\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EURO-2.png 964w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EURO-2-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EURO-2-768x605.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July, everyone.
