Good Saturday and welcome to the weekend. The storm system impacting our weather over the next few days looks to be a fairly slow mover. This means some subtle changes to the forecast. We will talk about those changes and throw the tracking toys your way.
Here is the breakdown…
– A slower moving low pressure means we get some bonus dry weather today. The first half of the day should be mainly dry with scattered showers and storms blowing up later in the day into the evening. The farther east you live… the more dry weather you should see.
– Storms later today into this evening may be on the strong or severe side with the highest chance of that action across the west.
– Temps today will be tricky. Areas that are mostly dry with sunshine will see readings well into the 80s with a 90 not out of the question.
– The low pressure will swing through the Ohio Valley tonight with showers and isolated thunderstorms carrying into Sunday.
– Sunday will see temps struggling into the mid 70s in the east as showers and clouds will do a number on thermometers. Out west… highs will hit the low 80s.
– A few showers will likely linger into early Monday across the east. Temps will remain pleasant with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
– This should be a breezy next several days.
– Temps should rebound back into the mid and high 80s by the middle of next week before another cold front swings in with showers and storms and cooler temps.
Now for the moment you have all been waiting for… the storm tracking goodies…

Thanks, Chris. The first annual “Somermud Olympics” are being held here today. We need rain, but, as long as the storms are later into the afternoon and evening, they should be able to get them in. A lot of the proceeds are going to our local God’s Food Pantry. If you guys want to come and see something fun, come on down and join us! Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Lots of damage in Louisville area: Shively, J’town, St Matthews, Buechel, Lyndon…lots of wires down; reports of I-64 east and west at Blankenbaker to be shut down due to wires across road.
I think my neighborhood is one of the few that didn’t get smacked this time, though we briefly lost power and a traffic light is out where nobody is treating it like a 4-way stop…Not smart!
WAKE UP NWS-there are people east of Franklin County. This is the worst storm I have ever seen in Scott County in 8 years of living here. Power is out, my patio furniture is gone, trees are doubled over and down everywhere. WHY NO WARNING NWS?
WOW! Talk about Wizard of Oz clouds! The wind was WILD here in northwest Lexington! Kind of scared me.
Agree…i don’t like it when folks treat traffic lights that are flashing yellow as a 4-way stop. That is almost as dangerous in my book.
Yeah I will attest parts of Louisville has got extensive storm damage countless trees down. Trees on homes cars and numerous power lines down I believe Louisville has top or is nearing 100,000 customers with no power. Storm tracked right down I-64 and just rocked southern Indiana and Louisville and points east.
Low clouds are racing across the sky in Richmond, never seen anything like it, lightning, thiunder but not much rain… strange…
