Good Tuesday, everyone. We have a powerful storm system rolling into the region over the next few days and this will bring some active weather with it. Severe storms and high winds are possible for the entire region. That’s ahead of another below normal temperature pattern settling in for the start of April.
We continue to see warmer winds fighting into the region today, but the process is slow. Highs stay in the upper 40s to low 50s across much of central and eastern Kentucky with the west deep into the 60s.
That warm wind then kicks in and takes control for Wednesday with highs deep into the 70s. That comes ahead of a potent storm system that brings high winds and a severe threat to our region…
Here’s the Storm Prediction Center Severe Weather Outlook for Wednesday…
A line of strong to severe storms will move into western Kentucky during the late afternoon or early evening. From there, this line works eastward through the evening into the wee hours of Thursday morning. That should weaken some the farther east it moves, but it will bring the threat for damaging winds with it.
Some hail and a low tornado threat will also be possible, especially in the west.
With or without storms, winds are a big time player with gusts of 50mph or higher possible. Yowza
Chilly air comes in behind this, but it’s nowhere near as cold as what we’ve had recently. A few showers will be possible on Thursday and early Friday then again later in the weekend.
This sets the stage for a bigger system to impact us by the middle of next week…
Much colder air then sweeps in behind that and sets up shop for the first week of April. Blah.
The Ensembles are offering up some hope by the second week of the month as they send the trough into the west with a ridge in the east…

That would warm our temps, but for how long? The CFS 30 day temperature departure from mid-April through mid-May looks like this…

Have a great Tuesday and take care.
I’m not buying the long range stuff.
Need the Rain, but Not the Strong Winds and Storms !!!
Anyone Who is Planning a Fruit and Vegetable Garden Follow your Local Agricultural Guild Lines as to when the proper Time to Seed and Plant this Spring.
I Use to Garden Big Time at Reasonable Prices for initial Cost. Not Anymore Folks. SMH………
I don’t plant anything until mid May.
I have more problems with wildlife than I do with the climate. I probably lose 1/4 of my crop to birds & small mammals.
Mid May will be Safe. It’s Hard to Keep the Pest away. They are Hungry too.
Deer and raccoons wipe us out.
Deer, Rabbits, Crows, Raccoons and Wild Turkey wipe Out Anything that’s Eatable in My Area.
You got to remember we are in our annual spring 3-4 winters spells Dogwood , locust, BlackBerry spells in untill middle or late May.
Any Plant that’s Blooming is Named as A type of Winter. LOL
