An impressive cold front is rolling eastward across the state today and is bringing a shot of MUCH colder air with it. The good news is that the chilly air will only be around for a couple days. The bad news is that it will be pretty darn chilly and feel even colder because of how warm it has been recently.<\/p>\n<p>The cold front does have a line of showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of it. A few strong storms will be possible very early today as high wind gusts will be the main thing to watch for. You can track this line on regional radar&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\" s_oc=\"null\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"radar_img_6x4\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" usemap=\"#largemap\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Temps will tumble all day long with readings by\u00a0 dropping toward 50 degrees right behind the front.

A mix of sun and clouds will be noted to go along with more windy weather.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend looks good! Highs for Saturday will warm well into the 60s under sunny skies. Sunday will be even better with 70s moving back into the picture.<\/p>\n<p>Much warmer air is lurking again for next week. We need to keep an eye on Monday for the potential for a few showers or storms trying to develop on the nose of this next warm surge. Something similar happened just a few days ago and is a good illustration of how things can get cranking along a warm front.<\/p>\n<p>A prolonged stretch of 80s looks good for much of next week as our hot April pattern moves back in.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a tropical weather tracker&#8230; one of the more respected hurricane forecasters is out with his call for the season ahead.
