Our active pattern is cranking back up

Lexington, Kentucky (WTVQ – ABC 36): Good Sunday evening everyone, it has been a 10/10 PERFECT spring like day across the Commonwealth with sunshine and temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. We keep the warm air for a couple more days but rain and thunderstorm chances are going to increase. Temperatures out the door on Monday morning are pretty mild with low to mid 50s. I can’t rule out a stray shower either.

Monday afternoon will be another WARM one with low to maybe even mid 70s. A stray thunderstorm is possible, but most stay dry.

Tuesday starts fairly mild again for this time of year with low to mid 50s and a stray shower.

Rain and thunderstorms really increase during the afternoon and evening. A few strong storms is possible. Heavy rain is also a possibility. Highs will be in the upper 60s to near 70.

Thunderstorms will continue to be likely Tuesday evening – Wednesday afternoon with heavy rain being a good possibility.

Notice high temperatures come down on Wednesday with upper 5os to near 60.

By late Wednesday evening we begin to dry skies out for a short term with cooler air continuing.

A general 1″-2″ of rain is likely through Wednesday evening with locally higher amounts certainly possible.

So we run the chance for some local high water issues Tuesday afternoon – Wednesday evening with the greatest chance being across the southern and eastern half of the state. Here is the area with the best chance.

Thursday is the only completely dry day of the week with highs coming down into the 50s as well.

More rain and thunder moves in for Friday and Saturday with locally heavy rain a good bet as well. Temperatures will be much lower compared to the beginning of this week.

Temperatures drop even more Saturday evening into Sunday morning and that’s when we could be talking about SNOW showers taking over. Crazy, huh?!

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