Wednesday: Quiet Day High pressure over the region holds steady, bringing mostly sunny skies a nd highs in the mid-80s. A stray shower might pop up near the Kentucky border, but most of the state stays dry and comfortable. Thursday: Rain Chances Return A cold front pushes in from the north. Storms will develop Thursday afternoon and evening, with strong wind gusts and isolated large hail as the primary threats. As the front stalls Thursday night, heavy rain will become the bigger concern. “Storm training”—where storms repeatedly move over the same area—could dump rainfall exceeding 2 inches per hour, causing flash flooding across city streets and low-lying spots. Friday Through Sunday: Rain Chances Continue The front is expected to linger over the Midwest, fueling daily showers and thunderstorms.
