Looking ahead: Storms return to Louisville area for the work week

NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH METEOROLOGIST DANIEL JOHNSON. WHAT A TERRIFIC SUNDAY OUT THERE FOR ANY OUTDOOR ACTIVITY, AS IT REALLY TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD DAY WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. WE’RE STARTING TO SEE SOME CLOUDS BUILD IN FROM THE WEST, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ON OUR TOWER CAMERA. AND IT’S ALL DUE TO OUR NEXT WEATHER MAKER THAT WILL BRING US SOME IMPACT. WEATHER TONIGHT AND TOMORROW IN THE FORM OF RAIN SHOWERS, MAYBE A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS. 79 THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE A WEST WIND AT EIGHT. SO PRETTY MILD IF YOU’RE MAYBE TAKING AN EVENING STROLL OR HEADING OUT AND ABOUT TODAY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT. MILD WEATHER, DRY WEATHER AS WELL. WE HIT 81 EARLIER TODAY AFTER A MORNING LOW OF 64. WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. WE HAD SOME RAIN LATE LAST NIGHT AND EARLY IN THE MORNING. TEMPERATURES OUT THE DOOR IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S. A PRETTY MILD EVENING, BUT GET READY. THIS IS THE STORY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IT’S GOING TO BE AN ACTIVE PATTERN HERE. TOMORROW. WE’VE DECLARED IT AN IMPACT. WEATHER DAY SHOWERS ARE LIKELY OFF AND ON THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY, MAYBE EVEN A THUNDERSTORM, BUT WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE WEATHER. BUT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WE’VE DECLARED THOSE SEVERE ALERT DAYS BECAUSE WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, SO SOME BUSY DAYS AHEAD. MORE DETAILS COMING RIGHT UP RIGHT NOW THOUGH. DOPPLER RADAR IS QUIET. NO RAIN OUT THERE FOR THE MOMENT, BUT LOOK WHERE THE RAIN IS OFF TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. A LOT OF RAIN OUT ACROSS MISSOURI, DOWN INTO PORTIONS OF ARKANSAS, SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE. THIS IS ALL ROLLING TOWARD THE NORTH AND EAST, AND IT WILL BE HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, BRINGING US THAT RAIN. 64 WILL BE THE FORECAST LOW LATER ON TONIGHT AS THAT RAIN BEGINS TO FALL. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 60S AS WELL. ANOTHER LOOK OUTSIDE OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. YOUR FORECAST CALLS FOR INCREASING CLOUDS UPPER 70S RIGHT NOW. LATER ON TONIGHT WE’LL DROP DOWN INTO THE 60S, ESPECIALLY AS THAT RAIN MOVES IN AND HERE COMES THAT IMPACT. WEATHER BY 3 OR 4 IN THE MORNING HERE IN THE METRO THAT RAIN ROLLS IN AND THAT WILL LEAD TO A WET MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE. I KNOW. BACK TO WORK, BACK TO SCHOOL FOR A LOT OF US AND IT WILL BE A BIT SLIPPERY OUT THERE. SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE OFF AND ON THROUGH YOUR MONDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN MONDAY WILL BE IN THE MORNING. AT LEAST THE STEADY RAIN AND THEN JUST KIND OF SCATTERED AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH PERHAPS EVEN A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 70S. SO HERE’S THE 12 HOUR FORECAST FOR MONDAY FOR YOU PLANNING OUT YOUR DAY IMPACT WEATHER TO START. OF COURSE, A RAINY MORNING COMMUTE, MAYBE EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS EARLY IN THE MORNING AS WELL WITH PERHAPS SOME HEAVIER RAIN. THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH SUN, BUT THE RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT. TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S MORE SCATTERED AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON, HEADING INTO YOUR MONDAY. SO ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING, THAT’S WHEN IT’S GOING TO BE THE WETTEST. SO TIMING OUT THE RAIN, HERE WE GO FOR FIVE IN THE MORNING. IT’S RAINING HERE. SOME THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. WE GET A BIT OF A BREAK FOR YOUR LUNCH HOUR AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER ANOTHER ROUND ROLLS THROUGH ON MONDAY EVENING. JUST IN TIME FOR DINNERTIME. THEN WE GET READY FOR THE NEXT ROUND HEADING INTO YOUR TUESDAY, THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED US UNDER A SLIGHT RISK. I THINK THERE’S A COUPLE CHANCES. TUESDAY, LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON, AND THEN AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. ALL HAZARDS POSSIBLE. ALL HAIL, WIND, MAYBE AN ISOLATED TORNADO. AND THAT PATTERN CONTINUES INTO WEDNESDAY AS WELL, WITH ALL HAZARDS POSSIBLE. STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED THE ENTIRE AREA UNDER A RISK FOR THAT SEVERE WEATHER. SO THAT’S WHY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ARE SEVERE ALERT DAYS. PRETTY WARM THOSE DAYS AS WELL. WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S. AND THEN CONDITIONS BEGIN TO CALM DOWN AND COOL OFF, IF YOU DON’T MIND 60S AGAIN FOR DAYTIME HIGHS. LAUREN, LOOK AT THAT FRIDAY AND INTO SATUR
