Good Wednesday to one and all. What an absolutely gorgeous weather pattern we are in across Kentucky and surrounding states. This great pattern has a little more left in the tank before we change it up over the weekend and next week.
Temps today hit 75-80 in most areas with sunshine continuing. The numbers likely hit 80 in most areas for Thursday with some late day clouds rolling in. Those clouds are ahead of low pressure coming out of the Gulf. That system moves our way with a shower or storm in here for Friday. Another front follows that up with what may be some strong storms late Saturday and early Sunday…
That’s ahead of a much colder blast of air coming in directly behind that front as an upper level trough digs into the east and tries to cut off. The EURO shows that thing swinging through over a few days with another one trying to show up behind it…
That location of that first trough is a problem for the models as they handle it totally different with each run. The EURO is back to trying to wrap around a rain or snow shower by Tuesday…
A trough like that may set us up with one heck of a north-south temp gradient at some point into the middle of next week.
That said, the various ensembles continue to show an overall colder than normal setup. Check out the 10 day temp departures…
All the more reason to get out there and enjoy what we have this week.
Make it a wonderful Wednesday and take care.
The ensembles are likely to be wrong.
I hope their wrong we’ll see. With the perfect Spring weather here lately, there’s always a limiting factor and that factor is the usual ‘ April Showers. ‘ Already I’m reading about fire danger in my area. We definitely don’t need that peril.
Schroeder we already have a couple fires in the mountains hope it doesn’t get worse but it was a beautiful day.
Ensembles have a decent performance prognosticating temperatures. They fall short predicting precipitation amounts. ( My Opinion)
Yeah, I can agree with that, regarding only the temperatures.
At 4:30 PM EDT, you would never guess what major city has the warmest temperature east of the Mississippi River… Green Bay WI at 85 degrees (even warmer than FL, which has temps only in the mid and upper 70s)!
It’s a gorgeous, sunny, breezy 80-degree day here in the SW Suburbs of Chicago. A great day for a hike in the forest preserve, which is where I’m headed.
