A Taste of Summer

These extremely warm days.... well... these hot days and very warm nights have been something tough to deal with here lately. That won't last as a cooler blast will be coming our way!

Daily rounds of showers & storms will continue to be with us through the entire 7-Day forecast. If you just took a look at the weather type we are expecting and you would think that we were right in the middle of Summer. The temps will agree for a couple of days too... but that changes this weekend!

The daily threat of rain will be with us through the rest of the week and especially into the weekend. An area of low pressure will pretty much sit and spin right over eastern KY and keeps clouds and rain in the area.

The general rainfall forecast for the next couple of days isn't overwhelming since it will all come over time.

We are looking at better than one inch of precip through Monday. That's with the consistent chance of rain in the area over the weekend. So not really an enormous amount for our region! But if one of these showers gets a little more strength it could bring some isolated heavier amounts!

I'll have more on Friday!

C-Ya bye
