Friday will be a day to Stay Weather Aware. It'll be a warm and humid day which will lead to thunderstorms developing, especially late afternoon. Some of these storms may be strong or severe with high winds being the greatest threat. Locally heavy rain is also possible. The storms look to arrive during the afternoon and will last into the evening. The Storm Prediction Center does have our part of Kentucky under the 'Slight' risk category. Heavy rain is possible from these storms as well.

Our first burst of summer heat is on the way out as we head toward the latter part of the week. As the rain chances rise Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the highs will be falling back to the 70s this weekend. It's not looking like a huge cool down, but back to being just below normal and more like May this weekend. Until then, we'll see a high in the low 80s again on Thursday with plenty of humidity around. We'll be dodging those hit and miss storms Thursday afternoon.

Summer weather finally arrived Tuesday. It was our first 85 degree high for the year, which is the 16th latest and over 3 weeks late. We also enjoyed enough humidity that you noticed it and it really felt like a summer day. Tomorrow is looking even hotter as we surge into the upper 80s and could flirt with 90 in places. We'll see a mostly sunny sky again, but it will be tempered some by both Canadian smoke as well as from the Saharan Dust layer.

Today began as one of the coldest June 2nds that we've recorded. The morning low was 46 making it the 2nd coldest temperature June 2nd morning. The day finished wonderfully in the upper 70s. Starting Tuesday we'll enjoy more summerlike highs in the mid and upper 80s, and enough humidity to notice it. Highs in the 80s will be hanging around until the end of the week. We haven't been more than 3 degrees above normal since May 15. Rain holds off until Thursday afternoon when cooler air will also arrive.

The final rain maker in this sequence arrives later tonight. Locally heavy rain is a possibility with most of us picking up over an inch of rain and some closer to 2 inches. Even with the heavy rain potential, no severe weather is expected. The rain continues into Friday. We'll see a wave early Friday which will have the heavier rain with a second batch arriving in the afternoon. The clouds and rain will keep temperatures down Friday with highs only in the 60s.

We could see some strong/severe storms tonight. A high end severe weather risk is in place late tomorrow and tomorrow night. Damaging wind to hurricane force is the greatest threat, but all modes of severe weather are in play. Have a severe weather plan...STAY WEATHER AWARE #kywx https://t.co/b8oc5mZrnF
We're heading toward a couple of hot and humid days. This increased heat will also increase our severe weather chances. There will be storms later Thursday night that could be severe. A more significant threat is with us late Friday and Friday night. Stay Weather Aware #kywx https://t.co/kUPcug8gXz
