Good Wednesday to one and all. It’s a steamier day across the Commonwealth as we head into a rather steamy and stormy setup. This is locking in through the weekend and into early next week before another trough digs into the region.<\/p>\n

Temps today make a run into the 85-90 degree range for much of the state with western Kentucky adding a few degrees on that. Humidity will also begin to slowly increase ahead of the first round of storms coming into play. This may not arrive until the evening or overnight with the greatest threat in the west.<\/p>\n

This is where the Storm Prediction Center has a severe threat out for the day…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your breakdown of the individual threats for the day\u2026<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Storms will be in clusters on Thursday and any of these may be strong or locally severe. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire area in the low-end risk to account for the potential…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additional rounds of showers and storms will be with us this weekend through the middle of next week. This is NOT all day stuff and you likely won’t see rain outside your house every day, but the pattern is set for some heavy rainfall when storms do hit.<\/p>\n

The rainfall totals from the models don’t really account for individual thunderstorms, but they have some general 1″-3″ amounts through the first half of next week…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This comes as a deep trough works into the eastern half of the country this weekend and early next week…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s a chance for a real deal stab of summer heat to follow that trough for the second half of next week, but the core of the heat remains to our west…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guess what happens once again? That heat ridge migrates back to the west with troughing developing in the eastern half of the country…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That transition may also fire up more rounds of thunderstorms that would come sweeping in here from the northwest.<\/p>\n

The pattern this summer has been pretty steady with the above normal rainfall and temps averaging normal to below.<\/p>\n

I leave you with all your storm tracking tools for the day\u2026<\/p>\n
