Good Wednesday to one and all. Spring fever continues to run rampant across the state as temps continue to rise. This comes ahead of a late week storm system and a much bigger change coming for early next week. That one brings back colder weather.<\/p>\n

Today features 65-70 degrees in most areas with a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. That small threat continues into tonight and Thursday with highs reaching deep into the 70s for Thursday on a strong southwest wind.<\/p>\n

Showers and storms will then increase Thursday night and Friday as low pressure rolls through the region. Watch how the NAM handles this…<\/p>\n

That would be some pretty stout storms that can put down a lot of rain in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

The Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center for Thursday shows western Kentucky in the low end threat…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can’t rule out a strong storm or two around here on Friday. Here’s what the Friday Severe Weather Outlook shows…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday looks good with a mix of sun and clouds and temps in the upper 50s to low 60s.<\/p>\n

Another cold front then drops in here on Saturday with limited moisture. This may only spit out a stray shower ahead of it, but the cold behind it takes center stage. This blast of cold coming from Sunday night through Tuesday may even be accompanied by a few snowflakes.<\/p>\n

Flakes show up on both the GFS and Canadian Models…<\/p>\n

GFS<\/p>\n

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

CANADIAN<\/p>\n

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

Lows reach deep into the 20s with wind chills that can briefly drop into the teens by Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Temps rebound quickly for the rest of the week before we get another cold shot by the following weekend or week.<\/p>\n

To illustrate the cold potential, the ensembles see the chance for flakes pretty far south over the next two weeks…<\/p>\n

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

I’ll have another update coming later today so check back. Until then, I have your Kentucky radars up and running to follow any shower or storm action that goes up.<\/p>\n
