One can just take a quick walk ouside and feel just how moist the air is and it isn't pleasant. That's a lot of juice for the these storms to work with!
As our same old frontal boundary sticks close... it will send more energy towards the folks in Kentucky. Simply mean that showers and storms aren't going anywhere just yet! There is a possibility that some of this rain might take a break by Friday, but even then we'll have the stray showers & storms. With the way the daily rounds of heavy rains in the area you really have to stay on your toes. Why?
You can only put som much water into the ground before it begins to just pool and run. So that's why I am encouragin you to keep on your toes! There is just so much moisture out there right now and that is helping the rain chances. Until we can get something in here to shake things up a little bit it will stay like this.
Keep an eye out on severe chances right here.
I'll have more on this Thursday.
C-Ya Bye
