HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - We continue to watch a summer pattern settle into the region as we close out the month of May. Warm and muggy conditions this evening mean I can’t completely rule out a stray storm, but most stay dry as partly cloudy skies stay in place overnight. Lows stay mild, in the middle to upper 50s. We’ll also have to watch for a bit of dense fog in the river valleys as we head into the morning hours.

Summertime Pattern Settles In

HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - While we could see some back-and-forth rain chances the next few days, the big story by this weekend will be the heat.
