Good Friday to one and all. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms continue to be common across the bluegrass state. This action comes as a big upper level systems swings through to start the weekend, with another system moving in to wrap up the weekend.

We continue to watch the local flash flood threat as these storms will put down a lot of water in a short amount of time. If you’re in an area that floods easily, keep an eye on water levels as the rains kick in.

The storms on Saturday will become more scattered with temps back into the upper 70s and low 80s for many. This is the day we find ourselves between systems, with another one moving in for Sunday. A few strong storms are possible Saturday, especially closer to the next system rolling in from the west…

Here’s the increase in the Sunday and early Monday action…
