Good Wednesday, folks. The weather over the past few months has been nothing short of wild and the overall wild setup looks to continue. A HUGE temperature swing is on the way as our readings go from Sprint to Winter in a matter of hours. Oh, and there’s this snowflake thing we have to watch out for.
Warmer air continues to spread in today and that could produce a shower or thunderstorm. Winds will gust up as temps make a run toward 70 or a little better.
There’s the possibility of a few stronger storms develop across the far west, but much of the severe weather threat looks to be just to our west.
Showers and thunderstorms become widespread on Thursday. Can we get some strong storms out of this? That’s possible if the front is a little slower in slamming in here. The temperature gradient along this front is pretty darn incredible…
Now THAT is what I call a cold front! Some of the models are a little more enthusiastic about the chances for more precipitation falling behind the front in the colder air. Temps by Thursday evening look to drop into the 30s and the NAM suggests some snow possible during that time…
As cold air continues to filter in on Friday, another streak of light snow will target our region. The models vary on where it goes, but the GFS is highlighting parts of central and eastern Kentucky…
The cold behind that for Saturday is looking a little colder as we get closer. Saturday morning lows will likely drop into the upper teens…
Afternoon highs may not get out of the upper 30s for some areas. Sigh.
The weather for next week will gradually turn milder, but will likely come with some rounds of showers and thunderstorms. The 2 week rainfall forecast from the GFS says to get used to that…
Enjoy your day and take care.
This does not look good for high school baseball and softball.

I tried to look at the Storm Prediction Center outlooks while ago lol…..they ve changed it into an unreadable rainbow of colors, it looks like that stupid terrorist warning system that bush came up with.
Typical March weather winter battling spring ups and downs.
Just the usual early spring battles going on here so no big deal. If a snowflake falls it will likely be no more than festive anyhow.
Man it’s been a while since we’ve had.our last thunderstorm in Lexington. The last one we’ve had was 163 days ago, or on October 13 when it was 80° that day. That is enough for our ninth longest streak without any T-storms. Our longest T-storm drough was back in 2013-2014 when there wasn’t a T-storm for 294 days from July or August to April. Pretty sure there was one in between, just not officially at the airport. Just an interesting tidbit. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lmk&storyid=107377&source=0
