It&#8217;s another day of warm winds and scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Commonwealth and surrounding states. We roll with this setup for a few more days before we change it up this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Our day starts with a line of gusty showers and thunderstorms racing through the state, weakening along the way. Skies become partly to mostly sunny behind this with temps of 75-80 degrees being common with some spots going above 80 again.<\/p>\n<p>The chance is there for a broken line of storms to fire back up late this afternoon and evening, but the greatest threat for severe storms is to our north and east. Still, there&#8217;s a low-end risk for a few of these storms to impact parts of central and eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>The Storm Prediction Center is following along with this thinking in showing the greatest severe risk north of the Ohio River&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png?1683922326\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thursday is another VERY warm day with temps that can surge back into the low and middle 80s across the state.
