.DISCUSSION...

A cold front will move through the region through sunset. North or
northeast winds will then be the rule at least through the
weekend. Cool and dry surface high pressure will lead to
relatively low humidity and deep mixing each day. Chances of
showers and storms return Sunday afternoon mainly over west
Kentucky, and then throughout the region Monday.
