Good Thursday, folks. As we continue with this historic late April wintertime pattern, my focus is turning toward a major surge of spring on the way early next week. This will bring the warmest readings since late last summer and may also bring some severe storms along for the ride.
Let’s get this party started with today’s bummer of a forecast. We are starting the day with a freeze into the upper 20s to low 30s for most of the state. Highs this afternoon will only maker it into the low and middle 50s for many. Normal highs today are generally around 70 and into the low 70s.
There’s still the chance for a rain or snow shower showing up, especially early and across the east. Here are your radars…
Friday starts frosty and ends MUCH better with highs in the 60-65 degree range. There’s even the chance for a shower in the west as milder air moves in.
Saturday continues to look rather ugly as another storm system moves in. This brings widespread rain and a few thunderstorms to the region…
This leaves us alone by Sunday as temps begin to recover. Highs will be in the low and middle 60s. From there, the temps take off. Highs are into the 70-75 degree range by Monday then head toward 80 Tuesday and Wednesday.
This is ahead of a potent storm system that can bring strong to severe storms in here for the second half of next week…
Here’s hoping that system keeps rolling and doesn’t hang around into Derby Weekend. 🏇😁
Make it a great day and take care.
Just looked at the satellite loop – I swear, it looked like it might be a perfectly clear day…….and then suddenly, out of nowhere, clouds start to develop all over KY…
Yesterday I wrote a comment and forgot and typed the word g-r-a-s-s and as soon as I sent it I realized that it’s not going to post. Akismet can’t tell the difference between a curse word and a regular word in 2021?
Not really sure yet, but I think we escaped any major freeze damage to the plant life.
Looking forward to the start of a real deal growing season.
Concerned about a tornado outbreak to our south for next week.
I think I am going to chance it and plant some flowers & vegetables next week.
May 15 th or after would be better. Gives time for soil temperatures to achieve optimum levels for rooting of plants.
