Good Friday to one and all. Low pressure is working across the state today and is bringing rain and cooler air. As the rain ends from west to east, the cooler air looks to hold tight through the upcoming weekend. In the longer range, a warm and stormy setup looks to kick in for Kentucky Derby Week.

Our Friday starts with rain across central and eastern Kentucky, but the drops will exit fairly quickly with partly sunny skies taking over…

Temps will hit the low 70s in the far west, but may not get much above 60 in the east.

Clear skies tonight will set the stage for a few upper 30s to show up across central and eastern Kentucky. The rest of our Saturday is a windy one with a mix of sun and clouds as a cold front drops in from the northwest. That may touch off a shower or storm in the afternoon and evening…

This is a fairly cool weekend as temps may struggle to get much past 60 on Sunday.

The setup for Kentucky Derby week is a warm one that can turn stormy…

Here’s what the European Model is looking like for Oaks Day and Derby Day…

Obviously, those will change from day to day, but the overall pattern has a stormy look to it.

Have a great day and take care.
