Good Thursday to one and all. A powerful cold front is on the move and will sweep into the bluegrass state tonight and early Friday morning. This front is separating a blast of winter and a surge of summer. That’s often a dangerous setup and leads to severe thunderstorms.

The severe weather threat continues for areas to our west early today and will roll eastward this evening and tonight. A squall line of thunderstorms is likely to sweep from west to east across our region later tonight. Damaging wind will be a big threat from this line and isolated tornadoes will be possible… especially in the west.

Temps ahead of our front will reach the 80s today on a gusty wind that may top 35mph at times. The cold air will then follow up the front with readings dropping to near 50 by Friday afternoon.

Let’s get you set to track the action…
