Good Friday everyone and welcome to a stormy day across the state. Clusters of showers and thunderstorms will roll eastward into the evening hours and these boomers will pack a nice little punch.
Breaking it down…
– Torrential rains are likely with today’s storms. Rain totals of 1″-2″ will be common for some areas with locally higher amounts. This can lead to flash flooding and that is something we will be watching closely.
– These storms may also go severe with damaging winds being the main threat.
– For the thousands of NASCAR fans at the Kentucky Speedway for tonight’s big Nationwide race… the bulk of the storms should be to the east of the track by the 7:30pm start. It will be a close call and something we will update. The weather for the big Sprint Cup race Saturday evening looks pretty darn good.
– High temps over the weekend will begin to surge toward 90 by Sunday and this should carry us into Monday with a slight chance for a thunderstorm.
– The heat will get smacked down again as another cold front moves in by Tuesday and Wednesday with more widespread showers and storms.
Let’s get you up to speed on today’s weather with your tools of tracking…

So we are suppose to get more rain tonight?
Thank you Chris! I don’t comment often when the weather is nice, but I’m here. 🙂
Thanks, Chris. I am with Char….don’t comment a lot when weather is like now, but I am reading every day, and ALWAYS using the tracking tools! 😉 So far today, we have seen a small sprinkle…
A very stormy day on tap, it seems. I am happy to see that the weekend looks to be very nice, though! My yard needs this rain, so I am glad for a rainy day today. Have a good one everyone.
Hope I get a decent downpour at my place. We’ve missed out on the rain chances lately.
Nice rain in Frankfort this morning…badly needed.
I am like Coffeelady and Char…don’t post a lot in summer, but always read.
A little rain here at East Point in Johnson County…and a lot of humidity.
Thanks for the updates, CB.
Thanks Chris. I too, don’t comment much now, but I do read your forcast everyday and use the tracking tools throughout the day. Thanks again for all you do for us. Please give the family a big THANK YOU too!
Ditto! This is my first stop for weather every single day. Enjoy your weekend everyone!!
All this wonderful rain has been just missing me to the north. Depressing…
Rain is tapering off in Shelbyville. We got a good amount of rain this morning.
have family just south of morehead and they just go hit hard with pretty high winds thru there carport 50ft and landed upside down. stay safe looks like those storms are heading my way now
My part of Bourbon County has had at least 4.5 inches of rain today. I say at least because I forgot that I had set the rain gauge aside to mow yesterday. I put it back around 9:30 this morning.
Yesterday in northwest Fayette, we barely got any rain. Today it rained A LOT! Perhaps two or over inches.
Well aparently the weather didn’t play out as expected by the NWS as we have had no rain in my part of the world but yet there was a flood watch issued
Just saw where NOAA said April-June was wettest ever for Kentucky. Imagine if we didn’t have the dry spell that we did!
