Isaac's Remnants to Affect Our Area Soon

1:00pm UPDATE
In Valley Station, just received my first downpour associated with the remnants of Isaac. Only lasted a couple of minutes and deposited 0.10"

Rainfall amounts up to 0.50" were reported just west of Louisville between Grayson county KY and Crawford county IN. Look for these scattered bands to shift eastward today.

Taking a look at the morning clouds, I've noticed the traditional harbinger for the likelihood of rain today. 'If you see numerous cumulus clouds in the morning and winds are from the south (SE or SW included), expect rain in your area.'

In addition to the low-level stratocumulus, I've noticed an increase in higher cumulus clouds. Some of these may actually dissipate by early afternoon, but the moisture in definitely in place. Strong heating should lead to likely development of storms this afternoon.

Rainfall amounts may actually be heavier today than yesterday's scattered coverage nearby. I think isolated areas could see 1-2" in 'training bands' just today.
