Current Forecast From LEX 18's Storm Tracker Weather Team
A cool front will bring scattered showers and t-showers on Friday. They'll be scattered so not everyone will see them...but we really do need the rain. We may squeeze out some late day sun, but with a mostly cloudy sky otherwise our highs will top out around 80.
Your holiday weekend is looking spectacular.
