Good Saturday to one and all. All signs continue to point toward historic heat for Sunday as temps surge toward summertime readings. Sunday will be one of the warmest March Days on record for Kentucky before a cold front brings strong storms and knocks the numbers down.<\/p>\n

Speaking of storms, there’s the chance for a storm or two in the south early today before partly sunny and windy weather takes control. Highs today range from the mid and upper 70s east to the low and middle 80s in the west.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s highs surge deep into the 80s with the possibility for a 90 degree high temperature in the west. You heard that right… A 90 is possible if we can get enough sun. Daily records for March 22nd will be taken out with the chance some cities to approach all-time warmest March readings. Wow!<\/p>\n

I first pointed out the possibility of this more than a week ago when I started to see the extent of the heat building in the Plains and here we are.<\/p>\n

A cold front brings some showers and storms rumbling through here Sunday evening into Sunday night…<\/p>\n

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

There’s the chance for a few strong to severe storms and the Storm Prediction Center is highlighting the possibility…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats. Here’s a look at the individual severe threats from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n

Temps come down to more typical levels for Monday with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s. Windy weather hangs tough into the middle of next week as temps spike again to around 80 on Thursday. That’s ahead of another strong storm maker as another cold front drops in.<\/p>\n

The pattern turns colder behind that before another bounce back. Temps should jump right back up with the potential for some stormy times lurking to end the Month and begin April…<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll drop by for another update later today. Until then, I have you all set to track whatever storm action goes up today\u2026<\/p>\n
