Good Sunday everyone. We have a summer-like day out there across Kentucky and that is in stark contrast to the frigid temps of the past week. The summer air won’t last very long as we have a setup that is looking busy over the next week and change and may have another cold shot to throw at us.<\/p>\n
Highs today will soar into the lower 80s across most of the state. Skies will remain partly to mostly sunny with winds picking up a bit ahead of a storm system in the plains. This bad boy is responsible for the mega severe weather and tornado outbreak this week for areas to our west.<\/p>\n
That storm will head toward the Great Lakes on Monday and will drag a cold front through here. It will have a line of showers and thunderstorms along it. Will it produce severe weather for our region? Right now… I am not expecting a whole lot in the way of strong or severe storms. That could change if the timing of the front changes a bit. It is something I will continue to watch out for.<\/p>\n
