Good Sunday to one and all. Steamy and, sometimes, stormy weather rolls on across the bluegrass state of Kentucky. This pattern has been locked in for the past several days, and has several more days left in the tank before changes work our way. These are some fairly big changes starting late next week.
Highs today are back into the muggy 80s with… Wait for it… Wait for it… scattered showers and thunderstorms blowing up.
Rinse and repeat for Memorial Day.
As mentioned, this setup carries us into the middle of next week. I’m still looking for a 90 degree temperature to show up. I have seen some 89s of late on the Mesonet.
A cold front approaches the region from the west later Thursday into Friday with an increase in showers and thunderstorms. Much cooler air comes in behind this front, with the potential for a cutoff system to setup over our region by next weekend…
The GFS goes cutoff crazy with another system digging in behind that one a few days later…
And then a few days later comes another one…
If things work out like that, ugly weather would reign supreme with cooler than normal temps and the possibility of frequent rains. Hmmm… that sounds a lot like the past month of weather around here.
Make it a great Sunday and take care.
If that June pattern does lock in, we could see back to back months with below normal temps. May is going to end up about a degree below normal. The last time we had two consecutive months with below normal temps were July and August of last year.
The most 90 degree days last summer of any month came in September. 8, and they were 8 in a row from September 1-8
Thanks Chris. We had a very nice day yesterday and so far today, it’s gorgeous. Visited a few cemeteries yesterday to place flowers and share remembrances, and it was just perfect. Temp was warm and there was a little humidity but there was also a very nice breeze blowing So far, today is about the same with a bit more humidity. All in all pretty good so far. Hopefully those decoration day ceremonies at area churches will stay dry, (at least from the air). Enjoy the rest of your Sunday all, and please take a moment to remember those we served and made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who serve still. Let them know they are appreciated, and not forgotten.
Anyone know why KY isn’t on weatherunderground list? Did we fall off!

Seems on this particular map only states that have active warnings/advisories/etc are listed.
