Good Thursday, everyone. It’s another summer feeling day here in late April as we get set for a pattern change. This change takes us into a much more active setup with cooler than normal temps likely settling in during Kentucky Derby Week.
Temps today reach 80-85 in most areas on a strong southwest wind. Soak it up.
Temps are warm again on Friday as the threat for some showers and storms creeps into the picture. This action looks rather scattered across central and eastern Kentucky late Friday into the first part of Saturday.
The greatest concentration looks to be in the west and that’s where the Storm Prediction Center as a low-end risk for a few severe storms…
Some pretty nice spring weather takes hold late Saturday through Sunday. Winds will begin to crank late Sunday into Monday ahead of a potent storm system rolling our way. This brings the potential for strong to severe storms later Monday and Monday night…

We still have a week or so to go and a lot can change in that amount of time. Here’s hoping that’s the case.
It is interesting to note the EURO Weeklies are all in on a pattern change to above normal rainfall through early June…
I leave you with the tools you need to track any shower or storm going up out there today…
