Good Wednesday morning everyone and thanks for making the blog your source for weather. Our stormy pattern is just getting underway across the region and should kick into high gear in the coming days. The potential for showers and thunderstorms to last into the Kentucky Derby weekend is increasing as well.

A front is on top of the area today and is putting the brakes on. This will be the focal point for scattered showers and thunderstorms today and here is the radar for your tracking needs…



Showers and thunderstorms should become a little more widespread as we head into Thursday.  If we are to get severe weather around here… the best chance looks to come on Friday or Friday night as a strong cold front sweeps in.

Some of the rains over the next few days will be heavy and this is actually a threat that I am looking at a little closer. Anytime you can get a setup to where you can get repeat showers and thunderstorms over the same piece of real estate you have to be on guard. That will be especially true if something we talked about in the last post comes true and that is having this front never clear the area this weekend. Some of the models are suggesting this to now be a real possibility and that may not be good news for the Run For The Roses on Saturday…

GFS Saturday Evening


As the front slows… a wave of low pressure may develop to our southwest and come rolling northeastward across the Ohio Valley bringing more rounds of showers and storms over the weekend into early next week. Again… the heavy rain threat is something that the blog will be updating in the coming days.

That’s all I have for you this go around… have and great Wednesday and take care.
