Good Thursday to one and all. It’s another nice day across the state but a stormy setup is about ready to kick in. Rounds of storms develop this weekend and look to roll right on into Kentucky Derby Week. This includes the threat for strong storms and heavy rains.
Temps today range from the 60-65 degree range in the far northeast to 70-75 in the west and far south. Skies are partly sunny with more clouds sneaking into the west. Those clouds may spit out a stray shower or storm this evening.
There’s a better chance for a few showers and storms along a warm front lifting through the region on Friday. For areas getting in on said showers and storms, temps will be held way down. Look at the highs on the EURO…
That warmer air surges in over the weekend…
This comes along with our stormy setup with several systems rolling through from west to east through next week…
Heavy rainfall is likely during this time and the models are showing this…
GFS
EURO
The threat is also there for strong to severe storms from Saturday through next week. Individual threats will be handled on a day by day basis in the coming days.
The long range call for Kentucky Oaks Day on the EURO now has some showers and storms…
Again, we will continue to fine tune that forecast as we roll ahead.
Enjoy your Thursday and take care.
