Good Thursday everyone and welcome to a summer preview and that ain’t no foolin’! This is going to be some amazing weather to start out the month of April as readings over the next few days are going to be more typical for the middle and end of June! All of this carries us into the upcoming Easter holiday weekend.

Temps over the next few days will soar into the low and middle 80s leading to the warmest start to April since 1986… thats a span of 24 years if you are playing along at home. As can see… such a shot of warmth isn’t all that common for this time of year. As a matter of fact… a few record highs may be set before all is set and done.

How do the numbers look? Here ya go…

– Mostly sunny skies and southwesterly winds will boost temps toward the upper 70s and low 80s today.

– Friday should be the warmest of the bunch as highs may surge all the way into the middle 80s as southwest winds crank up a bit more.

– A cold front will move our way later in the day Saturday into Saturday evening. This will have an impressive line of showers and storms with it as it moves into western Kentucky. This line will weaken out the farther east it moves. You can see what I am talking about here on the GFS…

Saturday Afternoon

Saturday Evening

That will set us up for a windy and cooler (but still mild) Easter Sunday. Highs will come down to around 70 in most areas under partly sunny skies. Overall… not bad at all.

Warmer air will surge in here early next week and there COULD be a shower or thunderstorm right along the nose of this warmer air. Low pressure will crank across the plains states and roll our way by the second half of next week bringing the threat for some booming thunderstorms to the region. This may also knock our temps back down closer to normal during this time.

Ok… thats all I have for you guys. Have a great day and take care.
