The latest on our Solar Eclipse forecast

Lexington, Kentucky (WTVQ – ABC 36): Good Saturday evening everyone, it was a gorgeous day across the Commonwealth. But a very cold night is in store before temperatures warm back up leading to our all important Solar Eclipse on Monday. For now a FROST ADVISORY and FREEZE WARNING is out for the entire area through Sunday morning.

Temperatures hit the low to mid 30s in the frost advisory area and mid to upper 20s in the freezing warning area.

A nice recovery in temperatures comes by the afternoon with temperatures 65-70 under a partly sunny sky.

A front passes through Sunday night into Monday morning with scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area.

That bring us to Monday afternoon and the big Solar Eclipse. As of now, it looks like we will have to be dodging clouds and maybe a stray shower. Here is the cloud forecast under the path of totality.

The time for us to see the partial eclipse here in central and eastern Kentucky is between 3:00pm – 3:10pm.

Fingers crossed we end up getting clear skies just long enough for the eclipse. Temperatures will be warm regardless into the low 70s. Tuesday – Thursday then brings us rounds of rain and storms. We need to watch this time frame as we could be dealing with strong to severe storms and heavy rain.

As always, you can stay up to date through it all with the ABC 36 Storm Team on-air and online. #kywx
