Mild weather finally returns to the Bluegrass

A milder start with mixed skies

Temperatures trend milder across the Bluegrass with a mix of sun and clouds. Some lingering cloud cover may limit sunshine at times, but overall conditions remain quiet.

Afternoon highs climb into the 40s and 50s, with warmer readings farther south. Light winds add to the more comfortable feel compared to recent cold days.

Fog possible overnight into Tuesday morning

As skies partially clear and milder air moves in, fog may develop overnight and linger into Tuesday morning. Areas that still have snow on the ground or sit in valleys may be more prone to reduced visibility. Travel impacts are possible during the morning hours if fog becomes widespread.

Warmest day of the week Tuesday

Tuesday brings the warmest temperatures of the week across the Bluegrass. Highs reach the 50s and 60s, with some southern areas approaching 70.

Clouds increase through the day as a cold front approaches from the northwest.

While much of central Kentucky may stay dry, light rain becomes more likely Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night, especially toward southern portions of the region.

Cooler and quieter midweek

Behind the cold front, temperatures turn cooler for Wednesday and Thursday. Highs settle back into the 40s and lower 50s, with overnight lows dipping into the 20s and 30s.

Dry weather is favored during this period as high pressure builds in, offering a brief break from precipitation.

Watching late-week and weekend precipitation chances

Another system may approach Thursday night into Friday, bringing a renewed chance for precipitation. With cooler air in place, some wintry weather cannot be ruled out, though confidence remains low.

Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures are expected to trend milder again, but rain chances increase as a stronger system potentially moves closer to the region. The exact track and impacts remain uncertain, but periods of rain could affect the Bluegrass during Valentine’s Day.
