Good Saturday, everyone. Ugly is a word I would use to describe the weather across Kentucky today. We have heavy rain, gusty winds and falling temperatures ganging up on us. Old Man Winter tries to get in the mix later this evening into tonight. Yippee!!
Even with this quick-shot of winter… a warm and stormy pattern looks to be setting up for next week.
Let’s talk about the bad before we get into all of that. Rain will be common across the state today with falling temps and gusty winds. Early day temps may hit 60 in southeastern Kentucky with low 40s in the west and north. Cold air pulls in from the northwest during the day and we are likely to see a period of light snow take over this evening into tonight. Areas of central and eastern Kentucky have the best chance of seeing this. Some light accumulations will be possible.
Here’s regional radar to help you out…
Milder and drier air moves in for Sunday. We start in the 20s and end in the 50s with mostly sunny skies. 70 or better is likely early next week with mostly sunny skies Monday and Tuesday. The deeper we get into the weekend, the better the chance we have at seeing rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This type a setup can lead to strong storms…
The models are spitting out the potential for a lot of rain over the next week…
That’s a pattern that looks to persist through the next few weeks as spring tries to finally take over from winter…
I will get you some tracking tools later today. Make it a great one and take care.
Thanks Chris. Not a good day to try to be trying to move. Guess we will be going from garage to garage with it. Not looking forward to soggy but warmer temps sure do sound good! Thanks for all you do. Have a great Saturday everyone and GO CATS!
hi res NAM shows 3-7″ of snow for most of EKY. LOL
Yeah sorry we won’t believe that that’s as much if not more than some of us have seen during the winter.
Does anyone who reads this blog not know that Andy didn’t receive enough snow to satisfy him this winter?
I thank god every day that you are back home with us, I don’t watch any other weather but you and your team. you are just awesome keep up the great work for a long time. god bless and keep you and your family
Good soaking rain and a Cats victory over Louisville are both just what the doctor ordered. Wish it was about 20 degrees warmer but we can’t have everything…
Nasty day here in Lawrenceburg. 40 and on/off moderate rain. Ready for the 70’s!

Todd–I think this is it for us–aside from a frost or two in April. Looks like the yard might need to be mowed by next weekend–tulips and pears trees ready to come out on the next warm day.
