Our pattern remains fairly calm for the next few days but it turns wet this weekend as a storm system rolls in.

There&#8217;s the slightest chance for a light shower in the west and south central part of the state.<\/p>\n<p>Friday looks good with temps hitting 50 or better for most of Kentucky. Clouds will increase later in the day ahead of that weekend storm system. Low pressure rolls from Texas to the Carolinas Valentine&#8217;s Day into Sunday. A track like that normally brings winter weather to Kentucky, but there&#8217;s no cold air to the north of it, so you get rain.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the setup from Saturday morning through Monday morning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-20.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76348\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-20.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Locally heavy rains are a good bet, especially across the southern half of the state&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76350\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"964\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-12.png 964w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-12-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFS-12-768x601.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Canadian-9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76352\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Canadian-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"959\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Canadian-9.png 959w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Canadian-9-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Canadian-9-768x605.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That big case of spring fever breaks out behind that for next week.
