Some Thunder For Your Thursday

Good Thursday, everyone. We are watching a cold front dropping in from the northwest today and this front is bringing some showers and storms to the region. This is ahead of another stormy setup taking shape for the upcoming weekend.

Before we get into the weather part of the program, here are all the ways you can follow your friendly weatherdude on social media..

Today’s action isn’t terribly widespread, but scattered showers and storms will kick in for central and eastern Kentucky. A few storms will be noisy and put down heavy rainfall on a local scale.

Here are your radars to follow along…

Lingering showers and storms hang around into Friday, especially south and east. Temps are in the low and middle 80s for most of the area.

This sets the stage for more showers and storms to push in here for the weekend. Rounds of boomers sweep in later Saturday and should hang around through Sunday and into Monday…

This is all part of another setup that just does not look like summertime around here. Look at these deep troughs settling back into the country this weekend through next week…

Winter talk is coming! Winter talk is coming!

Make it a great Thursday and take care.
