Good Thursday, friends and neighbors. A scattering of storms will continue to rumble across the region today as our stormy setup rolls on. Overall, this looks like a fairly busy into the first half, at least, of May. If some of my analogs are correct, the second half of the month may bring a burst of severe weather.

Today’s scattered showers and storms won’t be as strong or as widespread as the past few days…

Friday’s weather looks nice with temps in the 70s with a partly sunny sky. Things go downhill quickly on Saturday as another storm system makes a run at us. This will bring additional rounds of showers and storms through Sunday night. Some of those could be strong, but the heavy rain threat may be the one to watch.

MUCH cooler air comes in next week as the European Model tries to throw another system into the region by Tuesday…

That unleashes a nasty upper level system to dive in behind it for the middle of the week…

GFS TEMPS 1

This would be very, very chilly air with even a few showers diving in…

Euro 2

As that pulls away, it might open the door for another big rain and thunderstorm maker. The GFS has been indicating this potential for Kentucky Derby Weekend…

GFS 3

The rainfall forecast for the next two weeks from the same GFS keeps the active look going strong…

Enjoy your day and take care.
