Good Monday, everyone. Spring it doing its thing much earlier than normal across Kentucky and surrounding states. Near record highs are possible today and again later this week, but this warmth may come with a price. The pattern is set to become a busy one with cold air intrusions running up against our budding spring.<\/p>\n

Low clouds and some fog may be around early today, with afternoon sun taking over. Lots of highs will be near 70, with low 70s showing up for areas getting in on more sun. Records will be challenged.<\/p>\n

Tuesday will find clouds increasing with a weak system crossing the region. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible…<\/p>\n

\"Euro\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some leftover action will then take us into Wednesday morning and that will keep the numbers down just a bit. I don’t know how we will survive with highs ONLY in the 60s. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

70 degree temps or better will be possible Thursday into Friday ahead of a potent storm system. That will roll from the plains states into the Great Lakes, dragging\u00a0a cold front across our region. This could lead to a few booming thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

The top 15\u00a0historical setups\u00a0to the one being shown by the GFS show a severe weather signal for this region…<\/p>\n

\"CIPS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s still 4 days away, so we have a while to see if this signal grows or fades. Dewpoint temps aren’t very impressive with this setup, so that may hinder the threat.<\/p>\n

Behind it, colder air blows in for the weekend with the potential for a snowflake or two.<\/p>\n

One signal that continues to grow is the precipitation one over the next 2 weeks. I put together a map over the weekend showing how we may find ourselves in the battle zone between very cold and very warm weather. That leads to an active storm track across our region.<\/p>\n

The medium range forecast models are\u00a0hinting at this. Check out one of the recent runs from the GFS for the next 2 weeks…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously, that was an extreme run, but it gives us an idea of\u00a0 potential busy storm track across our part of the world.<\/p>\n

I will throw you another update later today. Make it a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
