Hey Wtvq viewers!  We've been dry over the last week or so and it's really beginning to show on our lawns and landscaping. I just want to remind everyone that this is the time of year when fire danger starts getting pretty high with the dry feuls (grass, shrub, leaves) on the ground. Remember they can ignite and spread very quickly...  Just rember that this September and October are, statistically, our driest months of the year. The good news is that it looks like we will have a chance of get a little bit of rain Friday and Saturday...all thanks to a tropical low that will move into Eastern Kentucky over the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed!  http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT THU SEP 25 2008 FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO... 1. A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED ABOUT 225 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA-NORTH CAROLINA BORDER IS MOVING SLOWLY WESTWARD. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED THIS MORNING AND THIS SYSTEM COULD DEVELOP INTO A SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CYCLONE LATER TODAY. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THIS SYSTEM BECOMES A SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CYCLONE...
