National Weather Service Jackson KY
611 AM EDT Wed Apr 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...Well above normal temperatures continue across the
area through Thursday. Breezy conditions will be the rule today,
particularly around showers and any storms. Morning showers and
stray thunderstorms should clear out by afternoon but additional, and
stronger, storms will be possible during the evening as a cold front
approaches the area. After a dry day for most on Thursday, unsettled
weather returns to close out the week with cooler temperatures on
tap for the weekend.
