Milder weather is slowly making a comeback across Kentucky with temps really taking off into Easter Weekend.

Sunny skies boost temps into the 55-60 range for many. This makes for a nice season opener for my Cincinnati Reds!<\/p>\n<p>Good Friday looks REALLY good with temps hitting the 60s with a partly sunny sky.<\/p>\n<p>Easter Weekend temps range from the upper 60s to low 70s on a strong southwest flow. This is ahead of a boundary sliding in from the northwest late Saturday into Sunday. This brings a few waves of showers and storms coming at us from the same direction during this time. That may very well interrupt some Easter Sunday plans.<\/p>\n<p>Widespread showers and thunderstorms then kick in for Monday and Tuesday as low pressure rolls through the region. The overall setup from late Sunday through Tuesday is ripe for strong\/severe storms and heavy rains&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-28.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64590\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-28.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out all the lightning the EURO is showing with this scenario&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-3-5.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64592\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-3-5.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The GFS has a similar overall look, but is trying to throw a little winter weather right behind this departing storm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GFS-22.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64598\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GFS-22.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Temps behind that system drop back to below normal levels for Wednesday and Thursday but should bounce right back up later next week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-2-13.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64591\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EURO-2-13.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If we look at the longer range on the CFS, we find the model showing a very wet April through June for much of the country, including Kentucky&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CFS.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64594\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CFS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"961\" height=\"808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CFS.png 961w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CFS-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CFS-768x646.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That matches up well with the stormy pattern I&#8217;m expecting this spring.
