Good Saturday, everyone. The first ten days of the month were about as cold as you will find for this time of year in the bluegrass state. Temps turned the corner a few days ago, and are now fully into the warm range for April. The turnaround in temps has been nothing short of impressive, even if you blog readers knew it was coming. 🙂
We are seeing a major blocking pattern across North America, but it’s one that is putting is in the warm “bubble”…
Highs today may be just a touch cooler than Friday, but should still range from 70-75 in most areas. Sunday looks to be very warm with highs ranging from 75-80 degrees.
The warmest air moves in on Monday and could deliver temps in the low 80s…
The huge upper low in the west may finally open up and move our way by the second half of next week. If that happens, some showers and thunderstorms will be possible…
Once that moves through here, the pattern can get even warmer. I started hawking the potential for 85 degree temps back when we were in the early April deep freeze, and I’m glad I did. While Monday could get a few areas near that, the air next weekend can blow up on us…
In the coming days, we will start talking more about where this pattern goes for the upcoming summer. Sizzle sizzle!
Enjoy the day and take care.
Possible parallels to 2012 or 1936?
Ewwwwww.
I’m ready for October already.
I prefer upper 80’s the max for summer:) And low humidity 🙂 🙂
I can agree to that! 🙂
Obviously great weather going on, which can make us forget that our area is climatologically at about the height of its tornado season.
On today’s date eighteen years ago was a large tornado outbreak across both Kentucky and Tennessee.

80’S!!!!!!!! Open the pools. Lol
Ok, it’s 75F outside right now. I’ve had my windows open and it’s 78 degrees in my house! I’m turning the AC on NOW!
Im hoping for a hot summer.. 100s-105!! It has been cool for far too long. Maybe this is the change in pattern that spawned in the fall of 2013!
You’ve lost your ever loving mind lol
