Get ready, Kentucky—this week’s forecast is all over the place! From chilly mornings to gusty winds, midweek storms, and finally, a warm and sunny weekend, the weather is taking us on a ride. Here’s what you need to know so you can plan your week accordingly.
Monday-Tuesday: A Chilly but Calm Start
The week kicks off with cool but quiet weather. Monday will be crisp but sunny, with highs in the 50s and low 60s—perfect for a light jacket kind of day. By Tuesday, we’ll start to see more clouds rolling in, but the real story is the warm-up. A nice southerly breeze will push temperatures into the 70s in cities like Louisville and Bowling Green, giving us a sneak peek at spring.
Wednesday: Wind, Rain, and a Stormy Shake-Up
Midweek brings a big change! A strong weather system will move in, bringing gusty winds, scattered showers, and possibly a few thunderstorms. Some areas—especially western Kentucky—could see wind gusts up to 30-40 mph. If you’ve got any loose patio furniture or trash cans outside, you might want to secure them before they take an unexpected trip down the street.
Thursday: Spring Officially Arrives, But It Won’t Feel Like It
Spring kicks off on Thursday, but don’t expect sunshine and warmth just yet. A cold front will sweep through, knocking temperatures back into the 40s and 50s. It’ll be a breezy, cloudy day, and eastern Kentucky might even see some leftover showers. So if you were planning on breaking out the flip-flops—maybe hold off a little longer.
Friday-Sunday: The Warm-Up We’ve Been Waiting For
After all the back-and-forth, we’re finally in for some good news. The weekend looks amazing! Sunshine returns on Friday with highs in the upper 50s and 60s. By Saturday and Sunday, some spots could even hit the low 70s. Whether you’re heading to the park, grilling out, or just soaking up the fresh air, the weekend will be perfect for it.
