A storm over the Plains will move into the Ohio Valley by mid-week bringing with it, widespread and very welcome - rain. The entire eastern third of the country will see some rain this week with the heaviest falling over the south. All of Kentucky is expecting at least half an inch of rain...with over one inch possible over the western half of the state. This will provide some temporary relief to areas in severe drought. A strong high pressure will build in the wake of this storm over the weekend, renewing the warm dry weather pattern so familiar to our region lately.

Forecast rainfall amounts through Thursday evening.
