Hey folks…a good weekend to everyone and it sure turned out to be a wet and stormy end to the week for many folks around the area. With the area of low pressure spinning to our north and the frontal system trucking through on Friday, we saw some hail producing thunderstorms in several locations (enough to cover the ground) and a number of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. I guess this was our first taste of spring severe weather, even though we had minimal problems overall but it is definitely time to get into that mind set moving forward. The big story over the weekend will be the cooler air and lingering showers across the Ohio Valley as the upper level system sits and spins right overhead. If you remember back early in the week, I talked about this system taking all week and into early next week to clear the area and it appears it will play out that way! I guess with the Cats winning on Friday and plenty of basketball action on TV this weekend, if there was ever a weekend for it to be a little wet and dreary…the timing couldn’t be any better!!!

Hey folks…a good Thursday to everyone and I hope your late week is going well. My apologies for the lack of a post on Wednesday but I ended up calling it a day after the grand tour of school visits in Southern Kentucky, so I was home chillin with the family and enjoying some quiet time for a change. As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post…we haven’t seen a whole lot of change with our weather the last few days but we are definitely headed that direction into Friday and the upcoming weekend. After a few showers during the late morning/early afternoon Thursday, it was mainly a cloudy/breezy/mild day with highs into the upper 50s and low 60s. The pesky area of low pressure and trailing cold front hanging to our west for the last few days will finally ride eastward into Friday…and this should increase our chances for rain and storms around the area.

Hey folks…a good Tuesday to you all and I hope everyone enjoyed what was another delightful day, even with some increase in the cloud cover and a few drops of rain here and there. That south to southwest flow really punched in like a champ and as a result temperatures soared into the upper 60s and low 70s for highs!!! It really felt so great outside even with the clouds so hopefully you had a chance to get out and enjoy it. I will say I think temperatures are going to be pretty tricky the rest of the week. Yes, it will be mild, but I could see us doing better or worse than expected for afternoon highs depending on how the showers move through over the next few days. Overall everything looks pretty status quo as we head into the mid-week with mild air and occasional showers from time to time…just when and where they happen will be a tough call.
