Several rain chances through the week

Today’s copy-and-paste forecast

Wednesday will look very similar to Tuesday, with warm afternoon high temperatures in the lower-80s and scattered shower chances. We had a few rain showers early on, but much of the bluegrass is looking dry through the rest of the morning. By lunchtime, showers will begin to move through, with a few t-storms possible through the evening.. Some areas may experience brief gusty winds and torrential downpours, but any impacts will likely be short-lived.

A wetter Thursday

Late Wednesday into early Thursday morning, isolated rain chances will begin to pop up ahead of a cold front. Said front will line up along the northern KY border by mid-morning. It will drag a line of showers and thunderstorms through the Bluegrass throughout the afternoon. A few of these storms could produce wind gusts up to 58 mph, leading us to a level 1 severe weather risk for the day. However, impacts should be minimal, and you won’t need to worry about much besides making sure to have rain gear handy.

Temperature rollercoaster

Temperatures alongside Thursday’s cold front will be mild in the mid-70s, a near 10-degree drop from today’s high temperatures. Then we see a 10-degree jump into Friday, with afternoon temperatures in the mid-80s to end out the work week. A second cold front is set to move through Friday night, bringing in some more rain showers to begin the weekend. These will fizzle out through Saturday morning, leaving us dry and fall-like for the rest of the weekend.
