Quiet and cooler start to the weekend
Meteorologist Dillon Gaudet has a look at your Friday forecast
What a wicked windy Thursday it was across the Bluegrass. A 71 mph gust was reported at a MESONET site in Franklin County, which led the way across the region. Winds are thankfully much slower to close out the week. Quiet and cooler conditions are on the day for your Friday. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach the upper 40s and mostly cloudy skies will remain. Tonight we clear out a tad, which will allow temperatures to drop even further.
Quiet conditions continue Saturday, but temperatures will be a few degrees colder. Afternoons highs will reach the mid-40s. We do trade the cooler temps for a bit more sunshine that Friday.
We are still tracking a tricky forecast for late Saturday night and Sunday. Precipitation chances are increasing for southeast Kentucky but temperatures are looking to be a touch warmer. This means the likelihood of a cold rain is increasing. Snow is still possible on the ridgetops in southeast Kentucky. Chief Meteorologist TG Shuck will have another update later in the day on ABC 36 News.
Stay with the ABC 36 Storm Team for more details.
