Today will be Wet

This morning will be rainy, however, temperatures will increase into the low-70s today. As the boundary passes through, the winds will take a shift toward the north and the rain will eventually stop around 4 pm tonight. An accumulation just over half and inch of rain is expected. The temperatures will drop into the mid-50s overnight.

Tuesday & Wednesday Looking Clear & Sunny

After all the rain today, conditions are going to clear up tomorrow and Wednesday. The clouds will move out as a high pressure system moves in and the sun will shine. Temperatures will rise into the mis-70s then drop into the high-40s. As that high-pressure moves out on Wednesday morning, the winds will start to track from the south; this calls for another warm-up.

Cloudy, Gusty & Hot Thursday

A cold front will be blowing in on Thursday, making for gusty winds and warm temperatures. The gusts are expected to hit the 32 mph mark and the clouds will increasingly cover the sky throughout the day. Temperatures will nearly hit the low-80s. Thunderstorms and rain are expected by Thursday evening and will continue into the overnight hours. This is a system to keep your eye on for the next couple of days.

Once that cold from comes through, the winds will calm down and shift to the north by Friday night. Temperatures will also be in the 50s for the low in South-central Kentucky.
