The weather pause that refreshes but not quite
Another break in the heat but like the last time a surge in humidity lessens the comfort factor. But also like the last break it means rain hopes are kept alive. Hotter weather to make a come-back before the month is done but still no reason to think 100s return this summer. Here is a look at the medium range forecast and some tidbits about August weather patterns.
Powerful storm hammers part of metro area
More storms and more damage on Thursday night but nothing widespread. Lightning strikes in Fayette County caused minor injuries. One of the people, Heather Scott was struck by lightning at her home. “You just felt the jolt. The jolt where it hit the table and knocked the table down.” Scott ...
