Impact Weather: Scattered showers, storms Wednesday evening – heavy rain possible

NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. OKAY, EVEN THOUGH IT’S BEEN QUIET FOR THE BETTER PART OF THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, WE DO HAVE IMPACT WEATHER ON THE WAY AND IT’S NOT TOO FAR AWAY IN THE FORM OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. NOW, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER. THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS. BUT THE ATMOSPHERE HAS A TON OF MOISTURE IN IT, SO ANY OF THE HEAVIER CORES WILL PRODUCE SOME TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND EVEN SOME GUSTY WINDS 3040 MILES AN HOUR. BUT REALLY, THAT SHOULD BE JUST ABOUT IT. SO IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS JUST KNOW. YEAH. OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA. JEFFERSON COUNTY STILL IN THE CLEAR, BUT WE JUMP IMMEDIATELY NORTH SELLERSBURG UP TO NEAR CHARLESTOWN TOWN AND THEN NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF CLARK COUNTY. SOME SHOWERS NOW DEVELOPING THE FARTHER WEST AND NORTHWEST YOU GO. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SHOWERS ARE REALLY STARTING TO INCREASE FROM JACKSON COUNTY DOWN TO ORANGE COUNTY. IN BETWEEN EVANSVILLE AND OWENSBORO. EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE MOVING OFF TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. SO YES, EVEN THOUGH IT’S QUIET RIGHT NOW AS WE MOVE TOWARDS EIGHT, TEN AND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, WE’LL BE DEALING WITH THAT IMPACT. WEATHER IN THE FORM OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. AFTER MIDNIGHT, THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE RAIN LEAVES US AND THAT WILL BE THE BEGINNINGS OF SOME WONDERFUL WEATHER HEADED IN OUR DIRECTION RIGHT NOW IN TOWN, IT IS PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY, THESE CUMULUS CLOUDS STARTING TO GROW A LITTLE BIT MORE SO, ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH AND ALSO THE WESTERN HORIZON. AND THAT’S THE WET WEATHER THAT WILL BE PUSHING IN OUR DIRECTION. SO THERE YOU GO. WE WENT FROM THE DRY, QUIET CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON NOW TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS STARTING TO DEVELOP IMMEDIATELY WEST AND NORTH OF THE METRO. THEY’RE BEING KICKED OFF BY THIS COLD FRONT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AS THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS UNFOLD. SO AGAIN, LET’S TALK MORE ABOUT THAT RAIN CHANCE FUTURE CAST PICKING UP ON THESE THINGS RATHER NICELY. HERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AS WE MOVE TOWARDS 10:00 OR SO. WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE THESE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS SLIPPING ACROSS THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT. THERE GOES THE COLD FRONT, RAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE COMING TO AN END THAT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SOME WONDERFUL WEATHER. AS WE MOVE THROUGH TOMORROW. A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE, HUMIDITIES WILL BE DROPPING, HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL WARM. WE’RE TALKING LOW AND MIDDLE 80S ABOUT 85 TO 86 HERE IN THE DOWNTOWN REGION. BUT WE’LL HAVE A WEST AND NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TOMORROW. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE THE MUGGY WEATHER WE HAVE NOW WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70, THOSE WILL BE ERASED BY TOMORROW. MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON. THOSE DEW POINTS FALL INTO THE 40S AND 50S. THAT’S THE COMFORTABLE RANGE. SO WE’LL GO FROM THE OPPRESSIVE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70, WHICH WE HAVE NOW INTO THE VERY COMFORTABLE RANGE DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. HERE’S OUR FORECAST NOW FOR THE EVENING. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE INCREASING WITH THE IMPACT WEATHER SLIPPING THROUGH, 80 WILL SLIP INTO THE 70S AS DETAILED 12 HOUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW WILL WAKE UP TO UPPER 60S. THAT HUMIDITY WILL REALLY START TO DROP OFF DURING THE DAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL WARM AROUND 85. AND THEN HERE’S THE REMAINDER OF THAT SEVEN DAY FORECAST. VICKY, LOOK AT THOSE. LOOK AT THAT SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE’RE TALKING 70S LOWER 80S FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COULD BE A SPOTTY SPRINKLE OR A SHOWER SUNDAY. BUT A LOT OF DRY TIME. AND THAT DRY WEATHER WILL HOLD INTO NEXT WEEK. BY THE WAY, SPEAKING OF NEXT WEEK, YES, LATER NEXT WEEK. BEYOND THAT SEVEN DAY FORECAST, THERE ARE SIGNS THAT THE FIRST HEAT WAVE OF THE SEASON COULD BE BUILDING TOWARDS THE REGION. WE’RE TALKING 90S, A POSSIBLE THAT JUST HAPPENS ON THE DAY YOU’RE ON VACATION. HOW ABOUT THAT? YOU’RE GOING TO START TAKING
