Southern Kentucky will be stuck in a rainy pattern over the next 7 days. Fortunately, the temperatures will trend more seasonable, giving us a break from the cold we have been seeing.
Today: Clouds will stick around for much of today. A few peaks of sunshine may squeeze through around lunch. Rain chances will be on the increase this evening ahead of a cold front that will move through overnight. High pressure to our east will help pull warm, moist gulf air toward the region today, allowing temperatures to warm in the mid 60’s. Overnight won’t cool off much. Expect temperatures to remain in the mid 40’s due to the southerly wind.

Tomorrow:
Periods of moderate rain are possible tomorrow as the front pushes through. The rain will move in during the morning hours and spotty showers will continue into the evening. Up to a half inch of rain looks like a good bet for most areas through Tuesday. Temperatures will be a bit cooler during the day thanks to the cold front. Some flurries are even possible on the backside of the system overnight Monday. No accumulation is expected.
