Good Saturday, folks. We have a very toasty day out there as some strong storms flare up ahead of a potent cold front. This front sweeps in with a blast of September air coming in behind it\u00a0 to kick off the month of July.<\/p>\n

As always, we kick things off with what’s happening out there today. Highs range from the upper 80s to low 90s for many areas with a few spots a bit above those digits. Humidity levels are sky high, making it feel the part of mid and upper 90s for many.<\/p>\n

Scattered showers and storms go up through the day and a few of those may be strong or severe, especially this afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center continues with a low-end threat for severe storms today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the main threat.<\/p>\n

The cold front itself won’t move through until Sunday afternoon and this may fire off a broken line of storms along and ahead of it with the best threat being across the southern half of the state and into eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

This is where we have another low-end severe weather threat for Sunday…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much cooler and drier air sweeps in behind this front for Monday, giving us one of the coolest July days you’re ever going to get around here without clouds and rain. Lows Monday morning will drop into the low and middle 50s for many with the chance for a few upper 40s to show up in the coldest valleys…<\/p>\n

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

Highs Monday have a real chance to stay in the 70s for a lot of the region…<\/p>\n

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

After another start in the 50s for Tuesday, highs head back into the mid and upper 80s by Tuesday afternoon as our southwest flow returns. This flow boosts temps back into the upper 80s and low 90s for Wednesday with a few storms going up. From there, rounds of showers and storms will be possible for the 4th of July and into the rest of the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

The models are in decent agreement on this…<\/p>\n

We now have Tropical Storm Beryl in the Atlantic and this is expected to become a hurricane over the next few days as it crosses into the Caribbean…<\/p>\n

Here’s what that system looks like on Satellite…<\/p>\n
