Additional Federal Unemployment Assistance Begins By Marjorie Arnold Frankfort, KY - On August 21, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that the state's application for FEMA's Lost Wages Program, federal money to aid unemployed Kentuckians, had been approved. The programmers have completed the final modifications to the unemployment insurance systems so the payment process for the Lost Wages Program (LWP) has begun. Self-certification has already been provided by most claimants and claimants who still need to complete the self-certification will be notified by the Office of Unemployment Insurance. Individual payments will be issued to claimants for each of the 3 weeks a claimant is eligible. Claimants should begin to receive payments within the next few days with payment for the first week going out today. The state of Kentucky has decided to provide the extra $100 using CARES Act money. Kentucky's portion will be approximately $8 million per week, allowing the unemployed, who qualify, to receive an extra $400 per week for the three-week grant period.

Kentucky's climate is becoming wetter, state climatologist says By Tommy Newton Bowling Green, KY - The recent visit of cooler, drier air across Kentucky has provided a break from the summer weather pattern that has brought humid conditions and frequent rain. And state climatologist Stuart Foster says if you think Kentucky's climate is becoming wetter, you're probably right. Since the remarkable flash drought of September 2019, when Kentucky experienced its driest and second warmest September on record dating back to 1895, statewide precipitation has averaged above normal in every month. For the first eight months of 2020, Kentucky averaged 43.81 inches of precipitation statewide, more than 10 inches above normal, according to data from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center. "While amounts have varied from place to place and we have dried out over the past few days, 2020 is still on track to threaten the record of 64.35 inches for the most precipitation in a year set in 2011," said Foster, director of the Kentucky Climate Center and Kentucky Mesonet at WKU.

Dear Amazon, the gray pants are in Indy!
