Good Tuesday, everyone. It’s a full blown case of Spring Fever breaking out across the region, but colder times are lurking for the weekend. This will be the beginning of a very busy weather pattern taking over as spring and winter stage a battle right on top of our region.
Let’s start with today and roll forward. Temps will be mild, but how mild those numbers get depend on when the clouds and rain arrive where you live. The central and east can make a run at 70 before the showers roll in. Locally heavy rains will be possible from this evening into early Wednesday…
The showers will move away on Wednesday with increasing amounts of sun from west to east. This should set up quite the temp gradient with low 70s west and low 60s east.
Temps for Thursday and Friday shoot right back into the 70s and could set records. Winds will be gusty from the southwest ahead of a potent storm system. That can give us a squall line of strong to severe storms racing across the state Friday afternoon and Friday evening.
Much colder air then crashes in here for Saturday. Some snowflakes may filter in on a strong northwesterly flow…
Highs Saturday may not get to 40 degrees in some areas.
The GFS then brings a fast-moving rain/snow system across the region Sunday into Sunday night…
That’s on the nose of warmer air pushing in for early next week. This will be ahead of a slow-moving system that may produce significant rains in our region. Check out the totals over the next week or so on the GFS…
We are going to find ourselves in the path of several big storm systems in the coming weeks.
I will update things later today. Make it a good one and take care.
Typical winter 2017 week. Five days of above average temps, followed by a day or two or cool days and right back to above average. Shorter stretch of consecutive cold days that I can ever remember. I’m totally fine with that thought. Enjoyed living in the tropics this winter.
Oh yay! Hopefully we can overachieve on those totals! #sarcasm
You’re saying “storms” …any hope of having any snow at all in one of the storms? Or is winter truly down for the count?
The last pitiful sputterings I think…..bring on Summer!
Warm air says to winter:
Cashme ousside, how bow dah?
Really?
I am curious to know if this is it and Winter is over myself
I think the answer to that is found in the decrease in posts by people…everyone has put a fork in it at this point LOL
Bring on the skeeter attacks.
Old Man winter was almost killed on I 64 east of Morehead today by a gust of Hot air coming from the south.
