| Fay Wins This Battle...but the war isn't over yet - Post Your Comments! |
| Hey folks...it's hump day and we are one step closer to the weekend, although for the second straight week I feel like Wednesday should be Friday...meaning the weekend can't get here soon enough. We are pretty much status quo with our weather here in the bluegrass...another warm/hot day with low humidity levels thanks to an east to northeast wind. Unfortunately the humidity will slowly creep back in for the late week so with highs hanging around 90 degrees for afternoon highs, the "uncomfortable" factor may climb just a tad. Of course the big story again today is the progress (or in this case non-progress) of Fay along the east coast of Florida. While I may have lost the short term "battle" on the path, the "war" isn't over yet and we still have a fighting chance to see some of the remnants in our region. (Read Blog) |

| Happy Birthday, Rich! - Post Your Comments! |
