Active Weather Fires Up Midweek

Our run of beautiful but unseasonably warm September days wraps up Wednesday as a cold front slowly crosses the Commonwealth and sparks showers, storms and a brief cool down. A flash flood watch is in effect for Bluegrass and western counties until 8 PM Wednesday. Morning showers and storms are already producing heavy rain and additional development this afternoon could lead to dangerous flash flooding. Watch for a few strong to severe storms (gusty wind) as well. Rainfall amounts will range from a few tenths to a few inches. Highs will fall to the upper 70s to low 80s and gradually work back into the low to mid 80s the rest of the week.
