We'll warm up to near 80 degrees today as a slow-moving front slides northeast across the area. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may occur in a few spots during the early to middle part of the day, but the better chance for thunderstorms will be in the late afternoon and evening. Some of the thunderstorms could become strong or severe, with straight-line winds and hail possible. A new front will arrive from the northwest on Wednesday, and it will slowly cross the area on Wednesday and Thursday, producing a more widespread round of showers and thunderstorms that will slowly shift south on Thursday. Temperatures will trend downward, with highs in the lower 60s on Thursday. Good Friday should be dry and cool in the Bluegrass Region, but a lingering shower or two could occur in southeastern Kentucky early in the day. Saturday will be a beautiful, partly sunny day with highs near 70 degrees. Easter Sunday will begin dry, but some spotty thunderstorms will accompany a fast-moving front, most likely in the afternoon. Cooler air will return on Monday of next week, with highs in the middle 60s and isolated shower and thunderstorms still possible.
