...Slight Risk for Severe Weather...
The focus late this evening will center around another upper level disturbance set to
pass through the state. This feature will bring another round of storms to primarily
north central portions of the state and into the Bluegrass, before tapering to showers farther to the southeast.
The primary impacts of any severe weather will be damaging winds and hail. Lows will
primarily be in the low to mid 60s.
Tomorrow will begin an extended period of dry conditions as a ridge of high pressure
aloft will build over the region. Temperatures will warm each day throughout the rest
of the week with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s through the weekend.
Specific and detailed weather forecast information is available in your
precision agriculture, lawn and garden forecast.
