Good Thursday to one and all. Colder than normal weather blasted back in here on Wednesday and will hang around through today. This chill in the air will give way to some milder stuff for the weekend, but there’s a catch. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase.
Today will find some areas starting off with a touch of frost and temps in the 30s. A mix of sun and clouds will boost afternoon readings into the mid and upper 50s. A weak disturbance will dive in from the northwest and this may produce a pop up shower or some sprinkles… especially in the north.
Friday looks pretty good with temps back into the 60s under partly sunny skies. That’s when we turn our attention toward a slow moving system for the weekend. This will bring an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms for Saturday into Sunday…
Heavy rainfall will be a good possibility with the showers and storms over the weekend. Temps should run in the 60s for highs.
After a big warm up early next week, another powerful front will march our way by later Wednesday…
That could lead to strong or severe thunderstorms. The trough digging in behind that front is going to try to cut off in time for Kentucky Derby weekend…
Let’s hope that isn’t the case.
Make it a great Thursday and take care.
29 degrees in Lawrenceburg this morning. It seems like it is getting kind of late in the season for a freeze, but in 2011 I had a low of 31 on May 5th.
31 Record low in Frankfort, hoping the apple blooms are surviving these temps???
Close to record lows. Record this morning was 27 (1919) in Lexington, and 29 (1919) in Frankfort. I think official Frankfort low was 30.
According to the capital city airport reading on NOAA it was 31 at 6:53 am for the offical morning low temp, The weather scan channel said this was a record??
They weather channel only uses records back to where the current site became the official site for records in Frankfort (1948). NWS actually lists Frankfort records back to April 1, 1895. So, I guess this was the coldest April 25 since 1948, but didn’t officially beat the record from 1919.

You should be able to find all the Frankfort records from that link.
Conflicting info being put out their but thanks for the info!
Got down to 33 at my house. Did have a light frost. Azealeas slept under sheets last night! ;). How cold for tonight? Can I put the sheets away or not? Thanks, Chris for the update. Someday (soon, hopefully) you are going to give a forecast of good weather for more than a 24 hour period. Waiting on that one still. Have a great Thursday, everyone.
Kudos CB for the updates.
Some morning frost here in Nashville, the official low was 36. The car thermometer said 34 during the drive to work.
Currently fantastic sunshine and 63 degrees in Nashville, 62 in Louisville 🙂
Interestingly, Atlanta had 1.5 inches snow on this date in 1910 (yes, Atlanta Georgia)!😉
Write this down….. The is coming winter is going to be bad. Not saying snowy, but cold-bad. Not even I am pompous enough to suggest snow.
Not sure how “This” turned into “The is”….
Still, write it down……………..
