Most of the Saturday AM Mix Stays to our NW

Good Friday evening.

It was a spectacular Friday with lots of sunshine and highs near 41 degrees in Lexington, with upper 40s to near 50 in southern Kentucky. This was our warmest day since February 5th... and as nice as it may have felt, we were still about 5 degrees colder than average.... perhaps this goes to show just how acclimated we have become to the cold!

A weakening area of low pressure will move from Missouri into the Great Lakes tonight and tomorrow, and a warm front will clip central Kentucky. Most of the precipitation should stay to our northwest, but clouds will increase overnight tonight into Saturday. Lows will fall to 23 degrees in Lexington late tonight.

Plenty of cloud cover should cloak Kentucky early on Saturday, but the clouds should break, allowing for limited afternoon sunshine as highs climb to near 45 degrees... yes, almost back to our typical mid-February highs in the middle to upper 40s.

Clouds will increase once again on Sunday as a stronger storm system approaches. After a high near 48 degrees, scattered rain showers will develop toward evening and continue into Monday.

Monday will be a wet day with scattered rain showers and highs near 46 degrees. Late in the day, a strong cold front will deliver Canadian air, and temperatures will plunge once again. A flurry or two will be possible on Monday evening or Monday night.

Scattered snow showers will occur under mostly cloudy skies on Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will be near 35 on Tuesday and 33 on Wednesday.

A few flurries will linger on Thursday, and it will be cold with a high near 31 degrees.

Partly sunny and chilly weather should prevail on Friday, when highs reach 36 in the afternoon.

Have a great start to your weekend.

Geoff
