Good Friday, folks. It’s a colder day taking shape across Kentucky, but that won’t last long as much milder air surges in over the weekend. This will make for a gorgeous mid-March weekend in the bluegrass state. Once into next week, we will be seeing another very active pattern taking shape.

Our day starts with some showers lingering across southeastern Kentucky. With temps in the 30s, there’s even the risk for a few snowflakes to show up in these same areas. Here’s your regional radar to follow the action out of the state…

Clouds will break from northwest to southeast through the afternoon as temps only respond into the upper 40s to near 50. Gusty winds will add a little more chill to the March air. With clean skies tonight, temps can drop deep into the 20s…

The weekend looks great with plenty of sun and temps on the rise. Highs for Saturday are mainly 55-60 and then spike into the low and middle 60s for Sunday. Soak. It. up. 😎

Temps next week look to average above normal and may reach the 70 degree mark on more than one occasion.

The pattern is also looking very energetic with several dips in the jet stream showing up…

This will likely throw some thunderstorm makers our way starting Tuesday of next week. The operational models are in good agreement of three systems impacting us from Tuesday through the following weekend…

Given the time of year we are dealing with, severe weather chances are likely to show up.

Enjoy your day and take care.
