Good Sunday everyone. Here is hoping you got out and enjoyed the weather of the past several days because our soggy and cooler than normal pattern is back. Hang tough… TRUE spring is just a few days away!

Low pressure is spiraling across the plains today and is rolling toward the Ohio Valley. This means showers and thunderstorms will be traveling with the low and you will see those continue to overspread the state today. You can track the rains here…



The chance for some strong or severe storms will mainly be across the south today into this evening. It is possible that -parts of western and southern Kentucky get in on enough instability for some severe weather. Here is the latest outlook from the guys and gals at the Storm Prediction Center…

Latest Day 1 convective outlook

The blog will keep an eye on it to see just how far north the severe threat can get.

Showers will continue through Monday and some of the rains may be locally heavy. Winds will become rather gusty at times as this low scoots by to our north into Tuesday. As it does so… much colder air moves in form the northwest. Highs for Monday will be in the 50s and may not hit 50 Tuesday.

As skies try to clear by Wednesday morning… temps will settle down into the 30s meaning a late season frost threat may be with us. Thursday morning could also feature a frost threat as well.

Get through Wednesday and it is on! Spring is really gonna come at us in a big time way as highs Thursday will soar back into the 60s under sunny skies. By Friday and Saturday 80+ is a STRONG possibility.   I have been pointing toward a very warm end to the month of April and it is on the way folks! I think we are likely going to see a false signal for Summer over the next month!

Thanks for all the nice comments about my pic from Hillbilly Days. It is true that your friendly weather dude has gotten back in shape since leaving behind the days of the 3am wake up call. But… the tv has never been kind to me in terms of weight so I really haven’t lost that much… you just get to see me in a different way with a real life pic!

In honor of my new look… I give you this…



My humor knows NO bounds!

Have a great Sunday and I will watch for the chance for storms today and drop by with updates as needed. Take care.
