Good Friday, everyone. We’re FINALLY catching a break from the rounds of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. This pattern has been tough to shake, but some nice weather is on the way for the upcoming weekend. Don’t let it spoil you… more storms move in for next week.
Early day showers and storms will move to the east very quickly this morning. Cooler and drier air moves in with some sunshine returning for the afternoon. Highs will be in the 60-65 degree range for many.
Low and mid 60s return for Saturday with mostly sunny skies. We’re back into the 70s to wrap up the weekend on Sunday. Winds will gust up with late day clouds on the increase. Those clouds will be ahead of another shower and thunderstorm maker that arrives on Monday…
A scattered shower or thunderstorm would then hang around into Tuesday. It’s later Wednesday through Thursday when things really start to get active. A surge of juice will move in from the Gulf of Mexico as a powerful system rolls across the plains states. That should throw a round or two of storms in here on Wednesday…
Thursday could feature severe weather and heavy rain if this setup is correct…
All of that is being pushed by a huge upper level system that threatens to cutoff across our region by the end of the week…
That would mean some windy, chilly and showery weather for our region. That’s nasty looking.
Enjoy your day and take care.
Thanks Chris for all the things you do to keep us all safe. I know it’s been a long few days with more to come. Gonna father the next two and a half and enjoy them! Have a great Friday everyone!
Poor Illinois. No little EF-0 going on there, they got the unfortunate real deal.

Typical Kentucky spring weather. Will be like this until after the Derby weekend. It always is. Love it , it’s exciting as long as no one gets hurt.
It feels great outside right now. I hope nobody sustained any more damage overnight.
The SPC and National Weather Service hand out tornado watches and severe thunderstorm warnings like Biogenesis handed out steroids to A-Rod.
can anyone look into their crystal ball and see what is coming for April 23-26?
65-75 degrees and rain one or two of those days.
Glad storms weakened once they got to eastern ky. I think severe warning was issued for clay co but was mostly lighting and rain i think.
May will be month to watch for severe i think
