We've got plenty of heat and humidity to fuel thunderstorms for tonight, however, we don't have a "trigger" to spark any development. With the exception of a renegade shower, we should stay dry for the next several hours.
A small upper level disturbance is currently bringing thunderstorms to Mississippi and Alabama. This disturbance will glide along the jet stream into our area tomorrow morning and bring us a better chance for rain. After that batch of rain exits, a few isolated thunderstorms could pop up in the early afternoon, then we should dry off in the evening.
I thought I would share this computer forecast with you because I think it does a good job handling this situation.
Clouds will limit daytime heating from the sun, so the threat for severe storms looks low. Regardless, one or two storms could still become severe, so we will be tracking it closely!

Isolated Showers North Of I-64
Showers are quickly moving to the east and I'm expecting skies to clear out heading into the afternoon. Clouds will return by the evening with an isolated shower possible after sunset.

April 2010 The Fourth Warmest Ever
If you average out all the high and low temperatures from this past April, you will end up with 62.2 degrees. Although this doesn't seem like a high number, it is actually the fourth warmest April on record! Here are the top five:
- 63.3 in 1891
- 63.2 in 1994
- 62.5 in 1886
- 62.2 in 2010
- 62.0 in 1985
We weren't the only ones dealing with the heat. It was very warm for most of the eastern half of the United States...especially in the upper Midwest.
