Good Sunday to one and all. We’re ready to put the wraps on a gorgeous spring weekend here in the bluegrass state. Enjoy the calm, because the pattern is getting ready to crank it up a notch in the week ahead. Spring and Winter are getting ready to slug it out!

Highs today will be cooler than what we had on Saturday. Highs across the north may only reach the mid and upper 50s with the south and west 60-65 degrees.

A backdoor cold front as put the breaks on across the region and will slowly lift back to the north over the next few days. That means some pretty big temperature gradients are likely to set up in our region…

A few showers or thunderstorms will be possible along and just to the north of that warm front. That’s on the leading edge of a shot of pretty toasty air surging in on Wednesday. Many areas should hit 70 on a gusty southwesterly wind. That’s all ahead of a very strong cold front moving in on Thursday with a line of showers and thunderstorms…

Our front is being pushed by a blast of very cold temperatures moving in for the end of the week into the weekend. Many of the models continue to suggest the potential for some snowflakes by Friday. The GFS…

A recent run of the Canadian Model went crazy with the snow chances…

That’s way to the extreme side of things… I think. 🙂 Regardless… we have a decent shot at seeing some snowflakes late next week and perhaps again the week after.

It’s a nice battle between Spring and Winter taking shape over the next few weeks and that means a very active pattern. It’s a pattern that should lead us into a late arriving, but rather robust, severe weather season around here.

Enjoy your day and take care.
