The CAP help on Monday - this kept showers and thunderstorms from forming during the afternoon heat and humidity. This is good news as we do not need any additional rainfall. .
Some cells may form over portions of Iowa and central/northern Illinois during the morning hours on Tuesday - these would then work their way southeast. If they do form then we will follow their movement during the morning hours. .
I am not overly concerned about the potential..
The best chances for showers and storms over the coming 48 hours will be our northern counties and northeastern counties. More towards Evansville and northern Kentucky. This is where the CAP will be the weakest. Remember the CAP is a warm layer of air aloft that can keep storms from forming.
.
A more widespread precipitation event will occur on Thursday and Friday - this will be followed by an unsettled pattern of weather into the weekend - with cooler temperatures. .
