western Kentucky, and
northwest
Tennessee
HEADLINES: Say goodbye to Isaac. The tropical rainstorm brought plenty of rain to the region over the last few days. Pockets of 5"-10" were reported over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. As of this writing - Sunday evening - I have picked up 4" here at the Weather Observatory in Massac County, Illinois.
What is left of Isaac will continue to push off to the east and southeast on Monday night and Tuesday. This will leave our region with some patchy fog on Monday night and Tuesday morning and quite a bit of sun by Tuesday afternoon.
A storm system will approach our region on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible late Tuesday night and on Wednesday.
There isn't a whole lot of moisture to work with on Tuesday night or Wednesday - rainfall totals may be scattered and not overly impressive.
A cold front will pass through the area on Wednesday - this will bring an end to the precipitation chances by Wednesday evening. Temperatures won't be noticeably cooler behind the front.
Severe weather is not expected with the front on Wednesday. There is a chance for a few severe cells just a tad north of our area - say from central Illinois into Indiana. If this does shift south then I will update as needed. Lightning will be possible in our area.
The next chance for rain will arrive on Friday/Saturday. That system may be a little bit stronger and may produce a decent chance of rain in our local counties. We will take every drop we can muster.

1. We will be watching another cold front on Friday and Saturday. This front will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Can't rule out a severe thunderstorm on Friday afternoon or evening - will need to monitor wind fields and instability.
Saturday will bring lingering showers and perhaps storms.
Sunday looks much cooler - pleasant - low humidity levels. This would be behind the cold front!

Now is a GREAT
time to buy a NOAA All Hazards
Weather Radio. Better to have one
before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
