Quiet weather is expected to continue into the weekend in Central and Eastern Kentucky, making for a delightful finish to the week on Friday. High pressure pushed the front that created severe and wet weather to the south, bringing drier air and a nice sunny Friday with warm afternoon highs around 80 degrees.
The spring season officially ends on Saturday, and Mother Nature is expected to cooperate with high pressure overhead and more sunshine. Afternoon highs should be close to average for the final day of spring, topping out in the low to mid-80s.
Father’s Day Forecast
Heading into Father’s Day on Sunday, the next storm system will be approaching from the west, but much of the data suggests that rain and storm chances will be delayed until late afternoon. This should allow for mainly dry conditions for outdoor plans, with afternoon highs reaching the mid-80s for the first day of summer.
Showers and storms will ramp up Sunday night and into Monday, bringing some beneficial rain to drought-stricken Southern Kentucky. Afternoon highs will back off a few degrees with the clouds and rain around, topping out in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees.
