Good Sunday, everyone. We have a very steamy day in the Bluegrass state as a few more thunderstorms rolling through here. These storms will become widespread later tonight and Monday with the increasing potential for a few strong to severe storms. This will be followed up by a blast of September air.<\/p>\n

The setup is nothing like what we should be seeing for this time of year and we’ve said that for much of the summer. Tame temps have ruled the season and will continue to do so for the most part.<\/p>\n

Low pressure is working into the region over the next few days and will wrap up across the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. Rounds of big boomers will be ongoing along and ahead of this with wraparound clouds and showers coming in behind it on a very cool northwest flow on Tuesday. How many times have we talked about wrap around showers and clouds this summer? Several, actually and that’s very out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

Here’s the setup for the next few days…<\/p>\n

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

The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe storms for much of our region today into this evening. Here’s a look at today’s Severe Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind and large hail are the main threats but the tornado threat is a bit increased across western Kentucky\u2026<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the threat for severe weather increases overnight and into Monday and the Storm Prediction Center reflects this with a wider swath of real estate covered in Monday’s Severe Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are the severe threats for your Monday…<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Torrential rains will also possible with these storms through Monday. Local flash flooding issues will be possible.<\/p>\n

Tuesday is a very cool day with northwest winds, clouds and some showers. Temps stay in the 70s with lows in the 50s. Wednesday looks amazing with mid 50s to start and upper 70s and low 80s with low humidity and sunny skies.<\/p>\n

Our next cold front moves in late Thursday with a band of showers and storms with the chance for a few wraparound showers behind it early Friday…<\/p>\n

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

Temps come down behind that front to start next weekend. Overall, it looks REALLY good for the opening of the high school football season.<\/p>\n

Temps will likely bounce back quickly by the end of next weekend into early the following week as heat makes another run at us. A huge ridge of high pressure will move our way and likely bring a few days of hot and humid weather. Just like every other time this summer and recent summers, the core of the heat stays away from us…<\/p>\n

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

The Plains into the Great Lakes will roast for a bit in this kind of setup but this won’t last. The pattern will soon revert back to trough in the east with the heat heading back toward the west later in the week…<\/p>\n

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

I will drop by for another update if needed later today. Until then, here are your Sunday severe storm tracking tools\u2026<\/p>\n
