As expected, the Arctic high will shift to our east overnight into the early morning hours of Saturday. This return flow will bring showers into our area for Saturday. The 12 UTC run of  both the GFS and NAM agree that we should start to see rain in our area somewhere between 2 and 5 o’clock Saturday. As the high continues to shift to the east so will the rain, but don’t expect the rain to exit our area until Sunday afternoon. After the rain ends on Sunday  you can expect the rest of the day to remain mostly cloudy.  Both Saturday and Sunday will be warmer than what we have seen the past few days. Saturday the high will be around 45 degrees and Sunday 48. Low temperatures will also be warmer with a low for Saturday night around 37 and Sunday night near 42. Look for the start of your work week to warm up on Monday with a high near 60 but then cool right back down again on Tuesday. Thanks for checking your weekend forecast.

The rest of today will remain sunny and very cold. The high will struggle to get above freezing. Tonight will once again be very cold with the low near 20 degrees. Friday morning will be cold, but should get a little warmer as the day progresses with a high near 40. Friday will be mostly sunny. These very cold temperatures are a result from the arctic high that is sitting over our area.  Early Saturday morning the high will start to shift east.  The shifting of the high to the east will allow the return flow to advect moisture into our region from the Gulf of Mexico. This will bring showers into our area later Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning. Come back Friday for an update on your weekend forecast.

The big weather news is the low pressure system cutting across the middle of the country. This system is going to bring a lot of snow with possible blizzard conditions to the Midwest and a lot of rain to the Southeast. For our area that means a lot of rain.  Continue reading →

Not much to chat about in the world of weather for our area. We will keep things quiet for much of the remaining week. The sun can be rather deceiving today. What seems like a beautiful afternoon in store is actually a beautiful COLD rest of the day. Continue reading →

Surface low pressure that has formed over Louisiana will take a NE track today and end up over central Kentucky by this evening. This has resulted in rain taking over much of the area and this will continue to do so through the night. Temperatures will remain above freezing (high of 48 today) Continue reading →

Cold front has passed through the area and a few sprinkles will hang around through this morning. Cloud deck will remain in place for much of today before dissipating into the evening hours as a high pressure center works its way in from the southwest. Chilly temperatures will result from the cold front passing, bringing our high temperature to only 45 degrees! Continue reading →

We’ll see sunny skies today and tomorrow, but some rain showers will return to the area on Sunday.  Continue reading →
