We have a cold front dropping into the region today and it&#8217;s bringing the chance for a few strong to severe storms. A stronger front follows this up by Wednesday and that has a better chance for strong storms and more widespread rains.<\/p>\n<p>Let me begin by saying not everyone sees storms today. A broken line of storms moves in early today then dissipates. A second line then develops right on top of us this afternoon and evening, with the best coverage across the eastern half of the state.<\/p>\n<p>A few of these storms may be strong or locally severe. The Storm Prediction Center has a low-end risk for severe storms out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png?1716321907\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Temps today make a run into the upper 80s to near 90 for many, with some low 90s west.<\/p>\n<p>Cooler winds blow for Monday as temps and humidity levels both come way down. Highs are likely 80-85 for much of central and eastern Kentucky with mid and upper 80s west. That said, some models keep enough clouds going to keep highs in the 70s in the east. The Hi Res NAM is among them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NAM-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65422\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NAM-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"972\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NAM-7.png 972w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NAM-7-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NAM-7-768x599.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A strong southwest wind will then blow on Tuesday and this spikes temps up to 90-95 for much of the state.
