A cold front brings dry skies and lower humidity Thursday

NOW, YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH METEOROLOGIST DANIEL JOHNSON. YEAH, SOME SCARY WEATHER ACROSS THE NATION TODAY. FOR US IT WAS MOSTLY DRY, BUT NOW WE’RE DEALING WITH THE RAIN AS A COLD FRONT IS APPROACHING. AND THAT FRONT YES, IT’S BRINGING US RAIN, BUT IT’S ALSO GOING TO BRING US SOME GOOD WEATHER, PLEASANT DEW POINTS, DROPPING HUMIDITY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND A RETURN TO SOME SUNSHINE. WE’LL GET TO THAT FOR FORECAST COMING UP, BUT HERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. YOU CAN’T TELL, BUT IT IS RAINING IN AND AROUND THE METRO 75 DEGREES. THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE AND WE’VE HAD HAD SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS RECENTLY IN JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS. A WEST WIND RIGHT NOW AT EIGHT MILES PER HOUR. TODAY’S HIGH WAS 84 DEGREES. THAT’S ABOUT WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. 70 WAS THE LOW. SO IT WAS A WARM OVERNIGHT LAST NIGHT AND VERY STICKY AS WELL. BUT THE STICKY HUMIDITY IS ABOUT TO GET OUT OF HERE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SO IMPROVING WEATHER FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SO SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO FOR SURE. LET’S TALK ABOUT TEMPERATURES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEGINNING TO DROP OFF WITH THAT RAIN. SOME OF US STILL HOLDING ON TO 80 WHERE IT’S A LITTLE BIT DRIER. SEYMOUR 82, NORTH VERNON 80 A CORYDON STILL 80. BUT HERE IN THE METRO, WE’VE GONE FROM ABOUT 80 TO NOW, 75 WITH A HEAVY DOWNPOUR, BUT WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S AND 80S AND DEW POINTS NEAR 70, THAT’S JUST KIND OF YUCKY. A LOT OF HIGH HUMIDITY ACROSS THE AREA. SO LOOK AT ALL THE GREEN DEW POINTS NEAR 70. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, THAT’S VERY, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN TERMS OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. BUT LOOK AT THE BLUE PLEASANT DEW POINTS IN THE 50S AND 60S. THAT’S WHAT WE WANT RIGHT. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THOSE DEW POINTS HEADING INTO TOMORROW. WE’RE GOING TO WAKE UP TO IT STILL BEING A LITTLE BIT MUGGY, BUT BY THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW LOOK AT ALL THE BLUE MOVING IN PLEASANT DEW POINTS. EVEN BEDFORD COULD HAVE DEW POINTS IN THE 40S. THAT IS A DRY AND COMFORTABLE AIR MASS, SO LOW HUMIDITY. THAT’S THE BIG STORY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THE HUMIDITY DROPPING AND SO WILL THE TEMPERATURES. VERY SLOW DROP IN THOSE TEMPERATURES. BUT KIND OF HANGING RIGHT AROUND TO JUST BELOW AVERAGE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. THE AVERAGE HIGH THIS TIME OF YEAR IS 83. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL BE BELOW THAT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE EXCEPTION TOMORROW WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN THAT. HERE’S A LOOK AT RADAR. YOU CAN SEE DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE DRY FOR NOW, BUT THERE WAS A BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOUR THAT JUST ROLLED THROUGH THERE DOWN SOUTH, UH, TOWARD, UH, JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF VALLEY STATION, SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS ABOUT TO PUSH TOWARD FERN CREEK AND GLEN MARY. CRESTWOOD GETTING IN ON SOME HEAVY RAIN RIGHT NOW. MAYBE SOME LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THIS AS WELL. AND THEN DOWN IN JUST SOUTH OF THE PARKWAYS FROM E-TOWN, GRAYSON COUNTY, LITCHFIELD, YOU’RE REALLY HEARING SOME THUNDER PROBABLY RIGHT NOW, OR AT LEAST SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS. SO AGAIN, SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND THE AREA, ALL DUE TO THIS COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. AND IT’S RACING OFF TO THE EAST. LOOK BEHIND IT. PRETTY MUCH NOTHING OUT THERE. AND THAT’S OUR FUTURE WEATHER. SO 67 TONIGHT. JUST A FEW OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS. EARLY ON WE TREND DRIER AFTER MIDNIGHT TOMORROW. YES, WARM 85, BUT THE HUMIDITY WILL BE LOW, SO IT’S GOING TO FEEL NICE AND THERE WILL BE A BIT OF A BREEZE OUT OF THE WEST, GUSTING TO 25MPH. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW WITH THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S. JUST A FEW PUFFY CLOUDS AT TIMES. SO WE SAY GOODBYE TO THE RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. IT DRIFTS OFF TO THE EAST. THE CLOUDS GET OUT OF HERE AS WELL. WE WAKE UP TO A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, AND THAT’S REALLY GOING TO BE THE FORECAST THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW WITH A NICE MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE AND DROPPING HUMIDITY LEVELS AND THE NICE WEATHER. WELL, COULD IT GET BETTER ON FRIDAY? YES, 80. THE HUMIDITY EVEN LOWER. LOTS OF SUNSHINE THE WEEKEND RIGHT NOW. VICKY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER SUNDAY. NOT A BIG DEAL. STILL PRETTY GOOD FOR ALL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. IN THE NEXT WEEK WE’LL BEGIN TO WARM UP A LITTLE BIT. 86 ON WEDNESDAY, BUT THAT’S ONE OF THE DRIEST SEVEN DAY FORECASTS WE’VE HAD
