Warm summer weather will continue through Friday, as temperatures will range from 86-91 in the afternoon and in the 67-71 range in the early morning. It will be dry until the weekend, when a slight storm chance enters into the forecast. Temperatures will remain the same through the weekend and into the first part of early next week.

Independence Day 2009: 5:30pm

Rain beginning to break up to the west...

Southern Indiana and Louisville: The light rain we have now will continue to get lighter through 7pm, and should be stopped or just as sprinkles by 7:30-8pm. The rain has really broken up into Illinois. We could still have isolated showers/sprinkles through the evening, but nothing widespread. Looking better...

Central Kentucky will see rain continue through a lot of the evening, but could become light enough in some areas to shoot some fireworks around 10, especially the closer you are to Louisville.

Independence Day 2009: 12:45pm

Rain about to begin in our parts of the area...
From the NWS: UPDATED TO DOWNSCALE THUNDERSTORM CHCS (MAINLY NORTH) CHANGED WORDING TO ISOLATED AS WEAKENING MCS MAKES SLOW EWD PROGRESS WITH LEADING EDGE TENDING TO DISSIPATE AS IT ENCOUNTERS DRIER AIR.

However, the storm that they are talking about extends from Corydon to St. Louis right now. However, if it does weaken, we will only see light showers here. From now until about 6pm, however, expect a fairly good threat of light to at times moderate showers. After 6pm, the storms will become more scattered for a while.

The question with the evening is whether storms can develop here. There will likely be severe storms going on in southern Kentucky SOUTH of the warm front, but with no sun and a rain soaked atmosphere, it is questionable whether we will see more widespread showers in the evening. I think there is still a chance of showers, but the threat may be going down. Stay tuned...

There is a good bet for storms sometime tomorrow...here's the rundown...

For the early morning, don't worry too much about a storm chance. The chance will be greatest west of I-65 at noon, and the chance will increase in the afternoon with heating. I don't think these afternoon showers/storms will be that significant, and there may be a gap over parts of the area, especially outhern Indiana, that would allow cookouts to proceed under cloudy skies.

However, the biggest area of storms will come through the area sometime between 7-11pm. The timing will be crucial! Some of these storms could be strong, so stay tuned...I will be posting a lot tomorrow here and on facebook to let you know what to expect for the 4th...

Here is your forecast and your 4thcast...

The main action from this storm could end up being in the afternoon, and end before the fireworks, but there could also be two rounds of storms. I will try to have an answer on rain for the fireworks tomorrow...besides that...the weather looks great for the rest of the next week, with near normal temps for July...

The forecast has nice weather except for the 4th of July weekend! The chance of storms looks to come in the afternoon or evening. It is not a guarantee that we will see these storms come through on the 4th depending on the location of the warm front. After the weekend, it will be nice yet again with warm but not humid weather in the 80s.

Here are the details on the 4th of the July with "The Final 15: Weather 4thcast".
