Good Monday, everyone. Our week is off and running on a gorgeous weather note and this looks to continue for much of the week. Changes do show up by the end of the week into the weekend as storm chances return. Then there’s next week. 🥶
Temps today reach the upper 60s to low 70s for central and eastern Kentucky with 70-75 in the west.
The numbers continue to slowly climb over the next few days and may reach 80 by Thursday. Dry and awesome conditions will rule our weather world during this time, so get out there and enjoy it!
Low pressure develops in the Gulf of Mexico and may even take on the look of something tropical. That system slowly lifts northward and may bring scattered showers and storms in here for Friday. A stronger system brings the threat for a few strong storms later this weekend…
That will be followed by a MUCH colder setup into next week and it’s one the medium range models are seeing a little blue with…

GFS
Look how far below normal the forecast numbers are for next week…
The Ensembles suggest the extreme cold potential of next week would relax, but we stay below normal after that into the start of the closing week of April…
Michael Scott sums up my thoughts on this…
Have a great Monday and take care.
Thanks Chris. One of the most beautiful weather Easter Sundays I’ve seen in years. I was hoping this nice weather would hold, but the Pacific and the Gulf say different. The return to below normal temperatures is always expected until after May tenth. I hope not that much below normal as the models suggest.
I don’t believe the models.
Most of the time I don’t either Jeff.
Believable or not it’s a reminder to not get ahead of the start of planting season.
That’s exactly right ! All my customers would come out to my nursery on the first nice warm day in February wanting to buy plants and I wasn’t even open for business yet. People would always get in a hurry for the Spring planting season and end up spending a lot of money on gardening projects when that early purchase failed because of a late season frost or freeze.
i certainly hope the warm weather trend holds. i dont think my sanity could stand another multi day cold spell. it’ll break me…. :*(
I always had less aches and pains too when the temperatures stabilize.
Best stretch of nice weather since last fall or summer
