Good Saturday and welcome to the weekend. As we get ready to spring forward, the weekend looks rather blah with a few showers for some and temps that are normal to below. Looking into next week, the pattern turns much more active as two storm systems impact the region with some ugly stuff that may even include a touch of winter.
Don’t forget to set the clocks up one hour before going to bed tonight as Daylight Saving Time returns at 2am Sunday.
Highs out there today range from the upper 40s to upper 50s, depending on where you live. Much of the region is dry, but showers will be noted in the west and south as a front stalls just to our south. This same front will lift back to the north on Sunday and keep clouds going and may spit out a few showers. Temps Sunday look chillier than today.
The next system rolls through here Monday with showers and a few thunderstorms, but there’s also the chance for a touch of freezing rain across northern Kentucky. Wait. What? Check it out…
That’s right, it may be just cold enough early in the day for a touch of freezing rain to show up before temps warm. You can see the temp gradient give way to the milder air with this animation from 7am through 7pm…
From there, we turn it very mild for Tuesday and Wednesday with highs that can exceed what the models are forecasting…
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
This is ahead of another potent setup that can bring some pretty good thunderstorms in here late Wednesday and Wednesday night. It would then be followed up by a shot of cold air…
Depending on the track of the surface low, a severe weather outbreak is possible across the Ohio Valley into the Tennessee Valley.
That cold show wouldn’t last long as the numbers jump right back up late next weekend into early the following week. Overall, this is the type of pattern that can kick off the spring severe weather season in pretty good fashion.
I leave you with your radars to follow along with the southern showers…
Have a good one and take care.
Only 0.36 inches of Rain in the last 48 hours in my Backyard (North Taylor County.)
Hoping that the severe weather for mid week is held at bay.
Freezing Rain this time of the year or anytime through the Winter is depressing.
Would rather have the beautiful weather we had earlier in the month.
I guess the one thing that is predictable is that Kentucky weather is UNPREDICTABLE, especially during the transition times of year. I still haven’t given up on a little snow before we are deep into the spring pattern. We don’t need perennial vegetation coming out too early.
Redbud winter usually includes some snow here in the east. So at least we snowbirds have that to look forward to.
Best wishes to all.
Exactly, we do not want plants to freeze due to a false Spring breaking their dormancy.
I also would like to see one of those late heavy wet Snowstorms that use to occur in the month of March.
It has been several years since we had a March Snowstorm.
I think the last one I can remember was in Indiana in 1997.
Red Maples are blooming and I have an allergy to prove it.
