Good Sunday, everyone. Much milder winds are blowing across Kentucky today as spring tries to fight back. This fight leads us into the potential for a few strong to severe storms later Monday with another blast of spring chill behind it.<\/p>\n

Temps today reach the 60s under a partly to mostly sunny sky. There’s the slightest chance for a stray shower across the north and northeast, but most stay dry.<\/p>\n

Winds are cranking today into Monday with gusts that can reach 40mph at times. Those winds boost temps into the 70s ahead of a cold front arriving Monday night. These front touches off a few thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

One or two of those could become severe with the greatest potential in the north and northeast. Here’s a look at the Storm Prediction Center’s Severe Weather Outlook for Monday…<\/p>\n

Chilly temps settle in behind this departing front with below normal temps Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Milder winds kick in starting Thursday and taking us into the upcoming Easter Weekend. Can we keep the storms away during this time? That may be a bit of a tall task as, at least, some scattered showers and storms rolling in from the west.<\/p>\n

The EURO shows a pretty good severe weather signal to our west with a low-end chance for some of these to zip in here at some point. This animation starts on Friday and goes through the following Monday…<\/p>\n

This leads us into a very mild final full week of April as the severe weather signal continues to show up strongly to our west…<\/p>\n

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

The Plains severe signal comes as troughs dig into the west with ridging in the eastern half of the country. That’s something showing up very well on the EURO Ensembles…<\/p>\n

This pattern won’t hold, though, as I expect the severe weather threats to return as we get into May. The pattern may wind up going back pretty wet with cooler than normal temps.<\/p>\n

I leave you with your Kentucky Weather Radars just in case any stray shower or storm goes up today…<\/p>\n
