Our Stormy Pattern Rolls On

Good Sunday, everyone. We have a cold front rolling across Kentucky today and this is bringing a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms with it. This continues to be part of a very stormy pattern it looks to continue into the final full week of May.

Let’s begin with what is happening out there today and roll forward. Scattered showers and some thunderstorms will be noted but this action isn’t terribly widespread. The greatest concentration will be across the eastern half of Kentucky through the afternoon. Here are your radars to track what’s out there…

Much cooler air comes in behind our front with temperatures dropping into the 60s from northwest to southeast through this evening. This sets the stage for a much cooler Monday with daytime highs that may stay in the mid and upper 60s for much of the region…

There is also the chance for a few lingering showers across the east and the southeast. If that’s the case temperatures could be held even cooler and the rest of the state.

A bowling ball upper level system then makes its way toward the region by late Tuesday and will bring an increase in some late day showers and thunderstorms…

This looks like a very slow moving system with repeat showers and thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. A few of the storms could be on the strong side but I’m more concerned about the possibility of heavy rains in a setup like this…

Check out the heavy rain forecast from now through Memorial Day on the GFS…

Once again, local high water issues will be possible before we get to the big Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures during this time will likely be normal to a little below normal. Once into the holiday weekend, I’m hoping this system moves away quick enough to give us a mainly dry sky. As always, time will tell.

Make it a great day and take care.
