A surge of March has taken control of our weather out there today as temps jump ahead of a cold front dropping in. This sets the stage for a full-blown March looking and feeling pattern through next week. Lots of ups and downs with plenty of action.<\/p>\n<p>Winds are cranking from the southwest today, boosting temps into the 70-75 degree range across the west and south. Farther north across the shrinking snowpack, temps will be held into the 50-55 degree range in the far north.<\/p>\n<p>A cold front then sweeps in with gusty showers that will be more common across the southern half of the state. This future radar from the Hi Res NAM shows our showers going up this evening and moving out by Wednesday morning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/NAM-12.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76311\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/NAM-12.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Temps come back into the normal range behind this system for Wednesday and Thursday.
