Good Sunday, folks. Springtime in Kentucky is famous for some back and forth with the temperatures, and that’s exactly what I’m seeing over the next few weeks. Cold blasts and mild shots should act to help balance out the force, though there is some indication of the cold outdueling the mild.
That’s the case out there today with readings generally in the 40s for highs. We will also see a fast-moving system working across western Kentucky and into our southern counties. These areas are the prime targets for some light rain mixed with a few snowflakes.
Skies try to clear tonight, allowing for temps to drop into the 20s…
That could set us up for freezing conditions by Monday morning.
The rest of your Monday looks better with some sunshine and temps hitting the 50-55 degree range… still below normal.
The 60s show up by Tuesday with 70 possible Wednesday into Thursday. This is ahead of a strong cold front moving in here by Thursday night…
Strong storms and heavy rains will be possible before colder air rushes in from the northwest.
Looking down the roads toward the final few days of March into the beginning of April, we find a rather ugly look on the WeatherBELLÂ Ensembles…
A big ridge up the west coast means a deep trough into the eastern part of the country with the potential for colder than normal temperatures.
Enjoy your day and take care.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Cold will soon lose.
I’ll believe when I see it, and then show it to Penn and Teller and then they tell me they have no idea how it was faked. 😉
Mesonet sites of northeast Kentucky showing low to mid 20’s for a few locations and mid to upper 20’s for many in the eastern and southeastern part of the state thanks to clearing that took place overnight
Steady wet snow falling in Bowling Green over the last half hour. Temperature still about 40 degrees!
Nashville had dropped to 41 degrees with occasional cold rain. But snow is being reported up on the Tennessee Plateau, including at Crossville.
Nashville and Bowling Green at the moment are actually colder than Louisville and Lexington. Indeed, my sister in Georgetown KY has reported sunshine!
What happened to the snow we were supposed to have tonight? Last time I checked the blog it was supposed to snow tonight up to 2″ in some places. Things must have changed, as is often the case in spring.
