Good Monday, everyone. It’s the final day of August which means Meteorological Summer is coming to an end. Of course, that doesn’t mean the summer temps are over as September will be starting out with a little bit of sizzle.<\/p>\n

Temps today start the run of 90-95 degree high temp days that will carry us through Thursday. Some spots may go a touch above that on a day or two. Humidity levels are nowhere near what we had weeks ago, but our heat index numbers are still going to climb.<\/p>\n

September starts with a 95-100 heat index central and eastern Kentucky with higher numbers in the west…<\/p>\n

Heat Index numbers climb a little more for Wednesday…<\/p>\n

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

Thursday may very well be the hottest of the bunch before we slowly see some changes by Friday into Labor Day Weekend. That’s when a system or two drops in from the north and northwest, bringing a few booming thunderstorms, especially later Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

The GFS likes the storm potential into early Sunday…<\/p>\n

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

The Canadian is a little quicker…<\/p>\n

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

This knocks the temps down quite a bit, giving us normal or a touch below normal for a bit.<\/p>\n

Much of what happens depends on the tropics with two systems of interest…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, the Pacific hurricane season is off to the races with multiple systems…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As always, I leave you with your daily storm tracking toys\u2026<\/p>\n
