.DISCUSSION... Hot and dry conditions are expected over the
next several days, with daily highs reaching the low 90s.
Light winds will be expected through the rest of the week too.
Although we could see a few isolated showers this afternoon in
south-central KY, this is low confidence due to dry air in place.
Next rain chances come this weekend, though rainfall should be
fairly light then too.
