Good Sunday to all my fellow weather weenies. Today is a good day to get an extra hour of daylight as mother nature is throwing us a gem. Temps may flirt with 70 degrees in many areas as a partly sunny sky rules the roost. This will all be going away in the week ahead as the old man tries to flex some muscle, again.
Gusty winds will accompany today’s blast of mild air and clouds will slowly increase. Some afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the west. Most of the rain won’t arrive hit central and eastern Kentucky until the overnight hours.
A strong cold front will slowly work through here Monday. Winds will continue to be very gusty as widespread showers continue along and ahead of the front. Temps will start to fall as the boundary moves through.
A wave of low pressure will develop along this front and keep the rain going into Tuesday morning across the eastern half of the state. It may get just cold enough for a few snowflakes as cold air continues to rush in here. This blast of cold continues to look impressive for the middle of the week…
There could be a few systems diving in from the northwest, delivering a few snow showers or flurries.
The pattern for the end of next week into the following week is an interesting one. A big bubble of mild air will develop across the southern plains as blocking intensifies across Greenland. That may set the stage for a big battle zone across our part of the world. Basically… it’s an ugly pattern that has a little more winter left in the tank.
Have a wonderful Sunday and take care.
Flurries? Snow showers?

Winter temps may come back, but winter accumulation is over for this half of 2013. Ya heard it here first….sorry school kids.
How about the death of overdone remarks about swaths? 😉
Second that!
A little more winter left in the tank? It musta been close to empty to start with 😉
Let the misery continue. Stuck in the 40’s and rain for three consecutive months. Gotta love Kentucky weather.
*sigh* I love snow . . . I miss snow . . . but I’m done with snow and cold. Froze to death Friday night at a baseball game. Another game Monday night then Thursday. I’d like to order 70 with a side of sun.
Thanks . . .
Winter go away you had your chance, it is springs turn now, RUDE!
At least we had a great weekend.
We can’t forget winter can still show muscle this time of year. In fact, a few days from now will mark exactly 20 years since the great Blizzard of 93. Hard to believe it has been two decades. I was in Louisville at the time, cold and extremely windy but little snow. But I’m sure others that lived in southeast Kentucky have memorable stories to tell.
GO CATS! The women have a chance to win an SEC tournament championship for first time in three decades. And how about the men yesterday at Rupp?!!
Is 50s considered cool weather with what temps we havd had last few weeks? I don’t see us doing extreme 20s or lower 30s for highs but I could be wrong. Chris is one of the best, if he sees a cool down coming its gonna be some kind of cool down. Still thinking 40s and 50s is what we will have but I could be wrong.
Thanks chris . We will have to take whatever weather mother nature throws at us.you will be there to keep us informed to take safety if needed.
Love today’s overachieveing warm weather, cold go away!
What a wonderful day! Congratulations to Madison Central Indians for winning the state championship, it real exciting for me being a 2001 alumni!!
Yeah the prettiest day of the weekend and I have to work a 12 hr day.. I will just go home. And walk my dogs and leave my window cracked tonight.. That’s something
It does no good to wish away one season and for the next one to rush in. It gets here when it gets here. Just be glad to be alive. 🙂
Average temps right now should be approaching 60 degrees. Anything low 50’s high 40’s would be considered cool for this time of year. I guess since we have had so few days in February with at least average temps and no rain, people would consider 50 degrees good now. NWS has dropped some daytime highs to the 40’s mid-week. This pretend winter just doesn’t want to leave. I’m not being greedy, I would just like to see some average temps right now.
It sounds like a hurricane outside my apartment in Danville, yet the wind gusts aren’t much more than 25 or 30 I think.
