Good Monday, everybody. Here’s hoping you guys had a great weekend! Our new week is off and running with a light freeze in many areas and this is all part of this colder than normal setup we are locked into for the next few weeks.

Temps this morning are in the upper 20s and low 30s for most of the region. By the afternoon, readings reach the 50s across the entire area with a mix of sun and clouds.

Tuesday starts with patchy frost and ends with an increase in clouds and the chance for temps to break the 60 degree mark. Woot!!

From here, we continue to see a bit of a model squabble on what to do with a few southern systems. The GFS is still bringing this far enough north to bring showers into our region later Wednesday and Thursday…

 

The weekend setup is ugly looking for this time of year as the jet stream takes a big dip, allowing for a monster closed low to develop in our region…

That slow-moving system could have some strong storms ahead of it on Saturday, with cold winds and showers behind it for Sunday and early next week. That’s just an ugly setup, folks. Here’s how that system looks at the surface…

Where was that this winter??!!

That cold weekend takes us into Kentucky Derby week with temps that are forecast to be much colder than normal…

My goodness that’s nasty.

The Ensembles are hinting at a ridge trying to build in just after that…

Make it a great Monday and take care.
