Good Tuesday, everyone. Rounds of strong to severe storms continue to target the Bluegrass state through tonight. This will move away, leaving us with a much cooler pattern setting up shop for Kentucky Derby Weekend. Can we keep the rain way for the big weekend? Maybe.<\/p>\n

Strong to severe storms exit the southeast before the sun comes up this morning with a pretty good setup following. Much of the day features temps in the upper 70s to near 80 on a strong southwest wind flow.<\/p>\n

Thunderstorms then flare up from southwest to northeast this evening and continue into the start of Wednesday with some leftover showers throughout the rest of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The future radar from the Hi Res NAM shows all this from 8pm this evening through 8pm Wednesday…<\/p>\n

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

The severe storms threat isn’t as robust today and is centered just a little farther south. The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk to Slight Risk for much of the state through tonight…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the individual threats we are facing out there today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cool winds settle in as the Wednesday morning storms depart with a few showers lingering. This cool air turns downright chilly Thursday and into Kentucky Derby Weekend.<\/p>\n

I’m still worried about showers if not a band of out and out rains impacting the state later Friday into part of Derby Day. The forecast models are showing this opportunity as our southern low creeps a bit farther north compared to earlier runs of the GFS…<\/p>\n

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

The Canadian is trying but has much more upper level energy to create some showers with Great Lakes Flakes…<\/p>\n

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

The chance for some WV mountain snowflakes are there in this type of a setup.<\/p>\n

Oaks Day high temps depend on how quickly the upper level system drops in from the northwest. Temps range from the mid 50s to mid 60s…<\/p>\n

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

Kentucky Derby Saturday will be among the chillier ones we’ve had with highs that may not get out of the 50s…<\/p>\n

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

If skies clear Saturday night, frost and\/or a light freeze will be possible across many areas…<\/p>\n

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

I\u2019ll have the latest on WKYT-TV and WKYT+. Until then, I leave you with the tools you need to track today’s severe weather threat\u2026<\/p>\n
