Good Thursday, everyone. It’s another busy weather day taking shape across the bluegrass state. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms continue to press in ahead of a strong cold front. We’re keeping a close eye on the potential for severe weather and flooding rains.
A strong cold front moves through the region this afternoon and evening. Strong to severe storms will be possible across much of the state. Damaging winds and large hail are the usual suspects. Additionally, heavy rainfall is a good bet and could cause flash flooding. Your trackers in a bit.
Friday looks much better with temps in the low 70s and a fair amount of sunshine. Showers and storms will then return early Saturday as another front drops in. VERY chilly air comes in behind this with readings near 60 for highs this weekend. There is even the threat for frost Sunday and Monday mornings. Check out the cold numbers from the GFS…
Ummm… those kind of numbers could cause some growing issues. The good news is they are likely too cold… I think. 🙂
The pattern next week is loaded with potential for strong storms and heavy rains…

Enjoy your day and take care.
Yesterday evening I was so sleep and fell asleep before the storms arrived in Lexington. I get up this morning and see that only .19 inches of rain fell at BGA. That line of storms must have seriously died before they arrived.
I suppose the emergency sirens in Berea will start working at some point. The last 6 times we’ve been part of a severe t-storm warning (that actually names the city in the warning) there has not been an audible warning siren. I’ve been in different parts of the city, so I know it just isn’t the one by our neighborhood. Now, let the event happen somewhere else in the county and it’s going to miss us, well you can count on it going off every time.
Weird! Here in northwest Lexington, looking at the radar, it looks like it should be raining moderately out —- but, the last ten minutes it’s been coming down in torrents.
