Good Monday, everyone. The week is off and running on a very ugly note with showers and chilly temps across the region. We do turn it around later in the week as a serious surge of warmer air takes over the pattern for a while.
Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Chilly showers are out there to start the day with the small chance for a flake to show up in the far north. The showers will slowly move away, but clouds will linger into the afternoon. Here are your radars to track the drops out of town…
Temps will mainly hit the 50-55 degree range for afternoon highs and should be back in that same territory on Tuesday. In between, we are likely to see a freeze with temps in the upper 20s to start Tuesday. There could also be a few rain and snow showers in the far north and east tonight and Tuesday morning. 🥶❄️🤬
Temps climb into the 60s on Wednesday with clouds on the increase. Those clouds will throw a few showers and storms at us early Thursday as a front slides in from the northwest…
That front quickly returns northward as a warm front later Thursday with warm air surging in for Friday. Temps get deep into the 70s and may hit 80 at this time…
Temps make a run at 80 for Saturday and Sunday with partly sunny skies. Overall, the weekend is looking like something from the Chamber of Commerce poster card for Kentucky.
Another cold front then slides in by Monday with our next threat for showers and storms…
That ushers in another cooler than normal pattern to end April and begin the month of May. Look at the 7 day temp departures from the ensembles…
EURO ENSEMBLES
GFS ENSEMBLES
If we look ahead to the month of May, the seasonal models continue to advertise below normal temps. The CFS is the coldest…
The usually warm-biased EURO Weeklies are also showing below normal numbers for May…
That’s a big old UGH, but it’s a continuation of the pattern we’ve had the past two springs.
If we ask the CFS about the summer ahead, it gives us this look for June-August temps…
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Enjoy your Monday and take care.
If temps are below normal during the summer I would think that means that rain will be above normal.
I doubt that there will be strong cold fronts pushing far south into the USA in August.
Cold Fronts, once again are “hanging up” indicative of La Nina.
Probably, a more cooler than normal and wetter than normal Summer to come ? UGH !
I sure there will be some very warm and humid days. I never seen a Summer without this weather type here in the Ohio Valley.
I’m not buying into the models this early.
Never made it above 42° in my neck of the woods today with a steady light mist most of the day! Come on Spring! #teamspring
