Cooler air settles in with lingering showers
Showers Fade Through the Day
The Bluegrass is seeing a wet start to our Wednesday, with scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder moving through as a low-pressure system tracks across the region. The rain will gradually taper off from southwest to northeast, with lingering clouds hanging on through much of the morning.
Lingering on/of drizzle is expected through the late afternoon.
As a cold front moves through, winds shift to the northwest and begin to pull in cooler, drier air. Skies will slowly clear later on, setting up a much cooler night with temperatures dropping into the 40s.
Cooler and Quieter Conditions Take Over
A noticeably different feel settles in heading into Thursday. High pressure builds in, bringing dry weather and a more comfortable air mass. Afternoon highs will only reach the low to mid 60s, with lower humidity making for a pleasant spring day.
Spotty Showers Return Friday
The quiet stretch does not last completely. A passing disturbance may bring isolated to scattered showers late Friday morning into the afternoon. Moisture will be limited, so any rainfall looks light and brief, with many areas seeing little to no accumulation.
Weekend Stays Cool with Limited Rain
Rain chances remain on the lower side through the weekend, though southern Kentucky could see a few light showers as a system passes to the south. For central and eastern Kentucky, most locations stay dry or see only minimal impacts.
Temperatures stay on the cooler side, with highs in the low to mid 60s and chilly nights dipping into the upper 30s and low 40s.
Frost Risk by Sunday Morning
With clear skies and light winds, conditions may be favorable for frost development, especially across eastern Kentucky. There is a decent chance that temperatures drop into the mid to upper 30s, which could allow patchy frost to form in colder valleys and sheltered areas.
Active Pattern Returns Next Week
The quieter stretch looks short-lived. Warmer air begins to return early next week as winds shift back out of the south. At the same time, a more active weather pattern sets up, bringing increasing chances for showers and storms through the first half of the week.
