Isolated Storms....

This morning we are starting off with partly to mostly cloudy skies with a few areas of fog.  Dominate feature is the upper level ridge aloft.

Today will be another day of possible storms mostly in the afternoon and higher terrain. Although hopefully it will be a bust like yesterday with main areas of storms in Eastern Kentucky and Southwest Virginia. The storms we do get will most likely produce heavy rains. I expect temperatures in the lower 90s depending on storms. Tomorrow chances of afternoon storms will exist with highs again in the lower 90s. The better chance of precipitation that was forecasted for Wednesday may not happen. This mainly due to frontal boundary staying farther north. It does look like a frontal boundary will move into the area by weeks end giving way to better chances of precipitation. The big story till then will be the increase in heat across the region as temperatures for Thursday are expected to get back into the mid to upper 90s. That coupled with high moisture will produce higher heat indices and make it feel much warmer.
