For most of central Kentucky we've seen rounds of rain and thunderstorms come through Sunday. Some of the rain has been heavy with a corridor of 1 to 3 inches of rain so far in central and eastern Kentucky with Lexington picking up nearly 2 inches while southern Kentucky remained dry. This sets the stage for a continuing flood threat into the day Monday across central and eastern Kentucky. Strong or even severe storms will be a possibility again through the first half of the day tomorrow with heavy rain, a lot of lightning and the potential for strong winds.
The southern half of the state hit the 70s today while it was closer to 60 where the heavy rain fell. We'll only see temperatures fall into the upper 50s tonight and peak early tomorrow in the low 60's with a lot of wind before much colder air pours in and many of us will be in the 40s by the end of the day.

Spring Storms With A Heavy Rain Threat
For most of central Kentucky we've seen rounds of rain and thunderstorms come through. Some of the rain has been heavy with a corridor of 1 to 3 inches of rain so far in central Kentucky. This sets the stage for a continuing flood threat through this evening and into the day Monday. Strong or even severe storms will be a possibility both this evening and then again through the first half of the day tomorrow. The southern half of the state hit the 70s today. We'll only see temperatures fall into the upper 50s tonight and peak early tomorrow in the low 60's before much colder air pours in and many of us will be in the 40s by the end of the day. Tuesday will end up being a chillier day behind the rain, but we'll be dry with highs in the 40's. The middle of the week is looking pretty uneventful as temperatures return to normal, in the 50s. However on Friday, the weather wheels get set in motion again as another surge of Arctic air is poised to move over us. As the rain arrives Friday we'll be in the 50s. Colder air pours in and the rain could change to snow Friday night into the day on Saturday. We'll continue to track any accumulation potential. Regardless, Saturday looks about 25 degrees below normal, just in the low 30's. We could also see some lows that drop into the teens!
