.DISCUSSION...
Warm front crosses tomorrow ushering the start of a significant
warming trend as well as reintroducing chances for showers and
thunderstorms. Some storms in the afternoon and evening may be
strong or even severe across portions of Kentucky and Ohio. Damaging
winds are the main concern with any severe storms.
Sunday through Tuesday will feature well above normal temperatures
that will be reminiscent to July or August. The lowlands could see
highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s with some locations in the
mountains reaching the upper 80s too. There is a chance for some of
our climate sites to tie or break some records on Monday or
Tuesday.
Next chances for rain will be late Tuesday night and Wednesday with
a front which will knock the temperatures back some.
