9/18 - 5:30pm - Dry and Powerless

We're still sitting at 129,000 LG&E customers without power in the Metro, with 30 of those being JCPS buildings. Luckily the weather is quiet and it isn't terribly warm.

With the Ryder Cup going on this week, we want to make sure the weather is perfect. I can assure you that it will be beautiful during this stretch, but we need rain badly. The next chance of rain could be as far away as a couple weeks from now, as the GFS has a dry and high pressure dominant pattern setting in.

With this dry weather, the temperatures have risen slightly in the forecast. We're looking at highs in the lower 80's for the next week as opposed to 70's. The air will be a bit stagnant for the next couple weeks, so we could see air quality problems as well.
