A DISTURBANCE JUST TO THE NORTH WILL WORK IN TANDEM WITH A
BOUNDARY TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TODAY. CLOUD
COVER IS SLOWING DESTABILIZATION LATE THIS MORNING BUT SOME
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER ARE OCCURRING. BETTER INSTABILITY IS
LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROW OF COUNTIES IN KY AND ACROSS
WEST TENNESSEE. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS FOR SCATTERED
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON WITH ACTIVITY PUSHING SOUTHEAST INTO
THE EVENING. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE SUPPORTED BY
30-35 KNOTS OF BULK SHEAR AND 1500-2500 J/KG OF CAPE.
THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS SLOW TO MOVE EAST INTO SUNDAY
BUT DOES MOVE INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY BY THEN.
NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE LOW WILL BRING DRIER AIR INTO THE
REGION BUT CHANCES FOR A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST FOR EASTERN AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER NEXT WEEK
BRINGING DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS. HIGH TEMPERATURES
GRADUALLY CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S BY MIDWEEK AND NEAR 90 BY THE
END OF THE WEEK. LOWER END AFTERNOON RAIN/STORM CHANCES ARE IN
THE FORECAST NEXT WEEK BUT COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE MUCH LESS
THEN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
