Good Friday, everyone. We are closing out the month of May with scattered showers and thunderstorms going up. That looks to be how the month of June starts, but it will come with a catch. A much cooler pattern settles in, with a very cool shot ahead before the weekend is over.

As always, let us begin with today and roll forward. Highs will be mainly be in the 70s with scattered showers and storms popping, especially in the central and east. Small hail and heavy rains will be possible…

Saturday is a breezy and mainly dry day as temps make a run at 80 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms will quickly increase from the northwest by evening and that will carry us into early Sunday…

This is a big blast of very cool air diving into the region from the northwest…

That will bring our numbers way, way down and even make it feel more like fall than the start of meteorological Summer. Check out the GFS low temps for Monday morning…

Yes, the model actually has some upper 30s showing up in southeastern Kentucky. That’s likely a little too cool, but that’s still amazing to see in early June.

Highs on Monday may not get to 70 in some spots…

The pattern looks fairly active beyond early next week and it’s one that likely turns us pretty wet once again. Check out the rain forecast for the next few weeks…
