Good Saturday, folks. It’s the final day of April and we have the threat for strong to severe storms to track. This kicks off a pattern that looks rather stormy as we head into Kentucky Derby week. Will those showers and storms last into the big weekend? That’s a possibility.
A few storms will be noted out there today, but you get much more dry time than anything else. Temps surge into the upper 70s and low 80s.
A line of showers and storms will develop and move into western Kentucky late this afternoon and evening. That’s where the SPC has a risk for severe weather today…
That line then moves across central Kentucky overnight with the chance for strong to severe storms. This should weaken into the east by early Sunday, but a new line of storms might fire up in the east and southeast later in the day. That’s where the SPC has a low-end risk for severe storms…
Dry weather rolls in from west to east Sunday and continues into Monday before the next system brings the threat for strong storms on Tuesday…
That zips through with another dry spell for the middle of the week. That’s ahead of yet another system moving in for the end of the week. This is looking to arrive later and stick around longer, potentially impacting Kentucky Oaks Day and Kentucky Derby Day.
This slowly brings the threat for showers and storms back in here Wednesday night and Thursday…
The models are all slowing this system down in a big way for Friday…

Again, this may very well linger into part of Derby Day as chillier air moves in.
As always, I have you all set to track the storms in from the west…

Have a great day and take care.
Thanks Chris, In Taylor County, they recorded only 2.52 inches of Rain in the Month of April. Temperatures, I would say were about Normal and Precipitation was below Normal. Hopefully, we will receive a” Good Soaking Rain” later this weekend and next week without the” Severe Weather” and is out of here for Big Race on Saturday.
