Good Tuesday to one and all. Wow… another big severe weather event blasted the bluegrass state on Monday. We had widespread wind damage in many areas and even a few injuries as a squall line worked eastward with winds around 70mph for some. A few tornadoes also touched down.

This has been a crazy start to spring. It seems mother nature can’t make her mind up as we have had several rounds of severe storms with some light snows in between. Our spring temps are running below normal and everytime it tries to warm up… we get severe weather. Can’t a weather dude just get some sunshine and 70s for a while?

Where do we go from here? We have another shot of chilly today as skies slowly clear. Highs will top out in near 50 east with low 60s west.

Warmer air fights back in for Thursday and temps should return to the 70s and hang that way into the coming weekend. As a matter of fact… we have another shot at 80. We will also see the threat for some scattered thunderstorms over the weekend and that is something we will focus more on as we get closer.

Is the warm air FINALLY here to stay? The short answer is… no. It is still too early in the season to keep the 70s train going. If anything… we may have another chilly shot or two left in the take. Check out the latest temp anomaly map from the GFS Ensembles…



As long as we see the chilly air making charges southward into the states… this kind of back and forth temp pattern will continue until the seasonal change can get fully established. This also means we will likely see our spring severe weather season running in overdrive. As we  have been saying… the pattern for this spring is loaded with rounds of severe storms and we are just getting things started in that regard.

Have a great Tuesday and take care.
