Good Tuesday to one and all. It’s another summertime feeling day across Kentucky as we wait for round of showers and storms to kick back in. This action begins late tonight and Wednesday before kicking into high gear later this week and into the holiday weekend<\/p>\n

Temps today are deep into the 80s for the entire state with the chance for a 90 in the west. There’s a small disturbance crossing the state and this can crank out isolated showers and thunderstorms across the eastern half of the state.<\/p>\n

A line of storms rumbles into western Kentucky tonight before fading as it moves across central and eastern Kentucky early Wednesday. After a break for much of the day, a few storms fire up later in the afternoon with a greater cluster of storms rumbling in Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Future Radar from the Hi Res NAM from late tonight through Wednesday night…<\/p>\n
