Good Tuesday to one and all and thanks for dropping by KWC. We’re shaking off the recent chill and replacing it with a surge of early Summer air that will carry us through the next week or so. This is exactly what a lot of folks have been hoping for, but I still think this is a false start on Summer. Another shot of cool air is lurking for next week.
The breakdown of the forecast is pretty simple for the next few days. Thermometers hit the 70s across central and eastern Kentucky this afternoon with low 80s in the west. Those 80s will blow across the rest of the state on Wednesday and we could see some upper 80s across the west. Wow!
More humidity enters the picture by Thursday and that will combine with a weak front to the north to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms. That action will be rather scattered, but will be with us each and every day through the coming weekend. You can see the favored corridor of storms on the GFS rainfall forecast through Sunday…
Some strong storms will be possible during this time. Highs will continue to run in the upper 70s and low 80s with lows in the 60s.
Things look to turn rather stormy into early next week as a strong cold front works in from the northwest. Severe weather?
That’s another push of very cool air working our way and fits the pattern we’ve been in for the past few months.
Have a great Tuesday and take care.
Great weather day has put the blog to sleep, sounds good, no more cold weather 😉
The temps in the plains and upper midwest are crazy! Over 100 in Omaha, pushing 100 in Minneapolis. 92 as close as St. Louis.
I hope that is NOT indicative of the kind of air we are going to see this summer. Last year’s hottest temps since 1936 were enough for me (105 in Lexington).
With all the moisture in the soil we would need several weeks of very dry weather to get close to last years heat, but anything is possible in this state??
