Good Sunday, everyone. We have a powerful cold front swinging across the state today and this will lead to some wild weather. Temps in the 60s will be replaced by the 30s in a matter of hours, heavy rain and thunderstorms will blow through and some areas will see some wintry stuff mixing in. And that’s just today.

Some headlines on today’s action:

– Temps across central and eastern Kentucky will be well into the 60s into early afternoon. Readings across the west will fall quickly into the 30s today. Those 30s will work eastward behind the front into the evening.

– Heavy rain and thunderstorms will be slow movers and this could lead to local high water issues.

– The cold air catching the back edge of the rain shield means to watch for a wintry mix from west to east behind the front. This could put down a little bit of sleet or snow for some… especially west.

– Readings by Monday morning will drop into the upper 20s.

Here’s what you need to track today’s weather…

The cold front will stall out to our south and east over the next several days. A few waves of low pressure will work along the boundary and these will throw moisture into the state. This will put down a little bit of everything. The GFS is even trying to throw down some light snow through Wednesday…

We see how all this plays out in the coming days.

Several models also bring another system our way from the southwest by the end of the week. The GFS Ensembles…

Then we get to the big arctic outbreak late next weekend or into the following week…

I will talk more about all that after we get past today’s wild ride. Have a great Sunday. Check back for updates and take care.
