• A big cluster of storms could arrive late this morning after moving through Kentucky. However, how much it holds together to move into the metro is unclear.
• The clouds and rain are expected to roll in around midday. This could reduce storm chances later this afternoon and keep temps cooler than forecast.
• Right now, expect sunshine to break in and highs quickly warm to near 90 degrees. However, we may stay in the 80s if the clouds hang tight all afternoon.
• The overall theme for the rest of the week is the heat building into the region.
• Highs are expected to jump into the mid-90s tomorrow and stay there the rest of the week, with heat index values reaching between 100 and 105 degrees.
