Good Monday, folks. We have a calm start to the week, but things are about to take a turn for the ugly as we close out the month and begin April. As a matter of fact, the pattern looks a little more like winter than spring. #TeamSpring ain’t happy at this winter hiccup.
Today starts with temps around or just below the freezing mark. highs by the afternoon will range from the upper 50s to middle 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. Winds won’t be as gusty as the weekend, but it’s still rather breezy.
Tuesday looks like the best day of the week with temps making a run at 70 with a mix of sun and clouds. Clouds will thicken by evening as we get ready for a powerhouse of a cold front to cross the state on Wednesday. Widespread rain will be noted along and just behind the front and we continue to see the possibility of a few flakes to end March and begin April.
The EURO isn’t as enthusiastic about the snow chances on this run, but still implies some flake action…
The Canadian has the deepest trough showing up behind this front and even produces some northwest flow snow showers Thursday into early Friday…
High temps Thursday and Friday are likely deep into the 40s and that’s well below normal. Lows by Friday morning can drop to around 20…
The GFS Ensembles are picking up on the spring flake potential…
By the time the weekend rolls around, temps rebound quickly and this should make for some really awesome weather…
Make it a great day and take care.
Not awesome if you are a gardener.
hey bailey keeneland opens friday!!!!!! so put it on weather 7 day!!!!! and get rid of this weather as the frass will be bad.
I’m not sold on flakes, but this is just part of normal Spring weather variations in KY.
Yeah, but it is still sad to see these beautiful trees in full bloom and glory then brown, frozen blossom the next day.
That’s life and it doesn’t pay to plant non native plants in your landscape.
I learned that many many times while being a Horticulturist for over 40 years.
The Chicago area had three days of measurable rainfall last week, but only around a half-inch of rain combined fell on those days. The dry month continues, with only 1.25 inches of total rainfall this month at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
Incredibly, there haven’t been any thunderstorms so far this year here, and here we are almost into April.
We had only 1.25 inches of rain out of the latest system moving through our area Sunday morning.
No thunderstorms or high winds here either. Just lucky so far.
Plenty of time for thunderstorms from now through June in our area.
