Good Monday, everyone. It’s another summer-like day across Kentucky as temps\u00a0 spike deep into the 80s. This is ahead of a few rounds of showers and storms set to deliver some healthy rains to part of the region tonight and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

All in all, we are ending April and starting May on a rather warm and, sometimes, stormy note.<\/p>\n

Temps today reach the low and middle 80s across central and eastern Kentucky with the chance for some upper 80s in the east. The west will “only” reach the upper 70s to low 80s as clouds thicken ahead of some afternoon showers and storms.<\/p>\n

These storms are along and ahead of a weak front moving toward us from the west. This boundary never quite clears the area as it slows down with a wave of low pressure developing along it. The end result will be increasing showers and storms from southwest to northeast later this evening through much of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Some 1″-2″ rainfall totals are likely to show up for parts of western and central Kentucky. As usual, the models have their differences with where the heavy rain producing thunderstorms show up…<\/p>\n
