Good Saturday and welcome to our Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend. Thermometers will be all over the place and we will have rounds of showers and some thunderstorms. This will be the lead up to a wild week of weather that starts with a severe thunderstorm threat and ends with a snow threat.
A cold front continues to sag into the state today and this will lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temps will be very warm in the south and west and cooler in the north. That cool air will become chilly later tonight and Sunday as it continues to overspread the rest of the state.
Your Saint Patrick’s Day will be soggy with locally heavy downpours. Temps in the 40s will make it feel as ugly as it looks.
Milder air will flood back in here on Monday as low pressure cranks up to our west. This will drag a cold front across the state and may lead to some strong or severe thunderstorms. Winds are going to howl and some of those storms may tap that wind energy.
Here’s what’s lurking behind that system…
Many of the models develop a southern storm by the middle and end of next week. If it’s real… snow is a good possibility for Thursday and Friday. Regardless… it’s COLD and that cold will not go away…
This is an extreme pattern for this time of year and it’s one that may carry us into early April. Ugh.
Have a great Saturday and take care.
Well looks like its time to cheer on Louisville and Pitino to attempt to keep the NCAA title in State, meanwhile its also time for Old Man Winter to just give it up already. If we can’t cheer on the cats in the big Tourney then we might as well be able to grill out to nice warm weather outside.
WKU for the title!
I’m for whoever plays U of L, WKU, Florida, Tennessee, Duke, and North Carolina.
There is always next year. UK should be one of the best teams in the country. Gotta realize Calipari isn’t a great coach. He relies on his players talent alone to win. Next year UK will have the most talented players so they should win. Anyone remember 2008 national title game? Bill Self made Calipari look like a fool in the last couple minutes and OT. Louisville has a shot this year,but this year has been crazy. Any team could win it this year. I don’t see a clear favorite to win it all. Four best teams are Indiana,Duke,Louisville,and Ohio State.
By your logic. Coach K made Rick look like a fool when he was at UK. Tell me 1 coach that can win without talent. Every coach has a down year.
Bill Self made Cal look like a fool by having Memphis players miss free throws? lmao First time I’ve seen props given to an opposing coach when the other team keeps missing free throws. lol
That is a false statement to say that Calipari is not a great coach who relies only on talent to win.
Pitino is so great?? How many titles has he brought to Louisville?
Yeah how quickly you forget. Pitino came to UK and restored your program after that drunk Sutton ruined it. I guess you wanna tell me West Virginia was better than UK in 2010. I guess UCONN was better too in 2011. Surprise last year UK was so dominant they could overcome Calipari and his coaching. Yeah Calipari is so great racking up wins in C-USA and the A-10.
1986
2013 lol
That is one of the silliest things I have ever read. One disappointing season in four is a pretty strong record. Has anyone ever managed a NC, Final Four and Elite Eight in their first 3 years on the job anywhere? I would imagine that list is pretty short. If we miss the tournament this year, so be it. We won’t miss next year and should be contending for number nine. I’m good with that.
LIKE!
May be the most inaccurate post of all time.
I was guessing 40s and 50s but chris’ thoughts must be colder then thst. I thought same thing this week also and temps was 32 all day weds. Chris knows his stuff. If he thinks its gonna be cold then theys a god chance of cold coming. Let’s hope warmer air will win out.
Since its cool snd cold is it too cold to plant broccoli in ground now? I think it likes cool temps. Never gardened much except maters looking to garden a little this year.
Yes Chris, the cold rain is getting very old.
I hate it when CB goes over to the dark side of spring, lol.
Thanks, Chris. After the beautiful day yesterday was, makes me want spring that much more. Today hasn’t started out badly either
Just getting over a bad case of tonsillitis and a double ear infection, the nice weather has made me feel a lot better. Sorry to see it go.
I noticed this morning that the weeping willow tree up the street is starting to come to life, and buds are coming up on most of the others. Bradford pears are about to bloom, as well. I also saw that dogwoods are starting to bud, and that usually means a cold spell when they bloom. (Dogwood winter.) Maybe we can get it gone after that. Enjoy theis beautiful day, and have a GREAT Saturday, everyone. Oh, and Chirs, tell that southern storm to stay south. 😉

Waiting for a front to sag from the north and crash our temps 10-15 degrees, but for now here in Northern Kentucky we have low 60’s. Very nice…
I don’t think anyone’s going to argue that it’s beautiful outside today! Temps in the mid 60’s with a light breeze, and there are no showers as forecasted! Finally a weather forecast busted in favor of pleasant conditions. Will take this one. 🙂
67 degrees in Frankfort, love it when the forecast bust in our favor, Will get’um next year cats!
WOW!!! Look how negative the AO is forecasted to be

That means WELL BELOW NORMAL temperatures! The NWS CPC shows how cold its going to get with the 6-10 day and the 8-14 day outlook!

Winters not quite done yet with maybe some snow chances into April!
Temps busting on the high side here…pushing 70 in Lawrenceburg, KY before noon. When in doubt, go warm!
Entire state is right at 70 degrees. I wouldn’t say the temps are “all over the place”. Lovely day here, gusty winds and 72.
71 degrees in Frankfort, gotta love it
i am not 1 to bring up past things and i know this is a weather blog but the thing i am going to write about is basketball and it is a case of i told you so……back in jan. i made a comment on here that said kentucky would not make it to the tourney this year meaning the big dance, although they are still in the hunt as a play in but it would be a long shot. as i recall someone replied back to my comment and said that i must not know anything at all about basketball out of the sec and that i was crazy if i thought that kentucky was not going to the ncaa tourney, which they still have a shot at it, albeit a long shot. kentucky does have a respectible record compared to most teams and if they had won just 2 games in the sec tourney they may have been in line for a at large bid but the point is that i am making here is that i may not know that much about basketball to some people, i do a lot more homework than you think and coach c is not that great of a coach but you don’t need a great coach when you have a bunch of talent like ky. had last season and it showed but it also showed this season when all the talent left and coach c. actually had to do some coaching.
Please do more homework. This is just absurd.
You are Nuts, Coach Cal has 2 final fours and a national championship in his first four years, Rupp, Dean smith, Pitino, WHO has did better than that their first 4 years at ANY school FOOL!!
the only reason i commented was that someone on here tried to make me out of a liar or think that i was stupid when i said kentucky would not make the big dance this year but TODD you don’t have to call me a fool just cause i give my opinions….i am no bigger fool than you for what you say and as far as mr. bailey, my comments may be absurd but no more than your 90% wrong forecast the past 2 years compared to only 10% right…..i know i will recieve a lot of static over these remarks and and i may even be banned and that is fine by me but i am not going to roll over and just play dead just because 2 people want to make rude comments toward me…end of story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys, Take a big ol’ drink of “lighten up” — geez, it’s only a game that kids are playing and we’re watching…
