Good evening, everyone. We are wrapping up a day of near record highs across the bluegrass state. Readings hit the middle 70s in some areas and we have more mild weather ahead. It will come with a price, with showers rolling in the next few days.

Once beyond this, big changes are ahead for the weekend and this sets up a very busy pattern.

Showers will roll in from west to east Tuesday into early Wednesday. This system has the chance to put down some heavy rains by Tuesday night and the models show a few spots pushing an inch…

NAM

Temps ahead of the rain on Tuesday can reach 70, then quickly drop as showers increase. Wednesday will be “cooler” with readings in the low 60s for the east, but near 70 in the west.

Thursday into Friday can see temps go crazy on us. The models have the numbers going DEEP into the 70s…

Euro

80 degree temps will be possible with enough sunshine. Winds will be VERY gusty as a strong storm system rolls across the plains and toward the Great Lakes Friday into Saturday. This setup can mean some strong or severe storms ahead of it…

GFS

Much colder air comes in behind that system with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s by Saturday. The GFS also shows a few snowflakes wrapping in here early Saturday…

GFS snow

This pattern is super busy with very cold shots diving into the country, and warm air trying to hang tough across the southeast. Watch this back and forth over the next few weeks…

gfs

Warm, cold… Warm, cold… That’s a setup that puts the mean storm track right on top of our region, and should mean a lot of precipitation. Everything from strong storms to snows will be possible depending on how each individual storm track goes.

Enjoy your evening and take care.
