Good Saturday, everyone. We FINALLY have some milder air blowing across the bluegrass state this weekend. Old Man Winter packed a few bags and left town for the weekend. That’s gives us the chance to thaw out from what has been a history making cold wave.

Temps today will warm well into the 50s for many with 60 possible in the west and south. There is still the chance for a shower or two, but most areas will see a mix of sun and clouds. Overall, today looks like a darn nice weather day to get outside and enjoy.

Sunday will find winds cranking up as showers and rumbles of thunder roll in from south to north. The action kicks into high gear during the afternoon and evening hours. The Hi Res NAM shows a lot of action on the simulated radar…

Locally heavy rainfall is a good bet. Winds will be super gusty and could reach 40mph at times Sunday night.

That system lifts to our north Sunday night and Monday, allowing colder air to filter in from the west and northwest. Some of the models suggest we get cold enough for some snowflakes by Monday evening…

The models continue to go jump around on what to do for the Thanksgiving holiday period. These swings are anticipated with so much going on in the atmosphere. The European Model continues to advertise a big east coast storm with another system diving in from behind it across our region. These two get VERY close to hooking up on the latest run…

That’s something to keep a super duper close eye on in the coming days. It wouldn’t take much to get that to have more than a light snow and cold impact on our weather.

Updates later today. Take care.
