Good Friday, folks. Colder than normal temps continue to take control of the pattern and this will be the case for the majority of the next few weeks. This cold weather will also be accompanied by the chance for some snowflakes to show up this weekend. Blah, blah, blah!!!

Temps out there today are in the 40s with a couple of showers on the move. The threat for showers will increase this evening as another front slams through here. Some small soft hail will even be possible.

Here are your radars for the day…

Another system drops in with some rain and snow showers late tonight into Saturday. The best chance for this is across central and eastern Kentucky. Nothing should stick, but this map shows where the flakes may fly in our area…

The mountains of West Virginia will get some good snows from this, but it’s a novelty for the rest of the area.

Temps are frigid behind this with readings struggling to the 40s on Saturday with lows deep into the 20s by Sunday morning. Wind chills may reach the upper teens Sunday morning.

Much milder air pushes into far southwestern Kentucky on Monday then rolls northeastward into Tuesday. The leading edge of this may include a little light rain or light snow at some point…

Another colder spring period has been on our radar for a long time now and matches the past few years. Folks, it’s amazing at how little the overall pattern has changed since 2020.
