Good Monday, folks. Spring is finally making an appearance across the bluegrass state and that’s making your friendly weatherdude a happy camper. We have some great weather to start the week, but storms are looking to crash our spring break party late in the week.

Highs today will surge into the 60s and may throw a little flirtatious smile toward 70 degrees in some spots. Skies will be mostly sunny. A few clouds will roll in for Tuesday as a cold front passes to our north. That’s where most of the moisture will be, but a stray shower can’t be ruled out.

Wednesday into Thursday will feel a little like May as temps hit the 70s and humidity levels rise. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will increase during this time and continue through Friday. That’s when we get a strong cold front to swing into the region.

Strong or severe storms will be possible from this setup. Heavy rain will be another concern with 1″-3″ rains possible during this time…

GFS 2Much colder air will filter in behind that system for next weekend into early next week. Check out the heart of the colder than normal temps…

GFS 4Another wet weather maker is likely to work our way from the southwest during the first part of next week. Let’s expand the GFS rain forecast our to 2 weeks…
