Kentucky weather tomorrow: Scattered rain and gusty winds round out the workweek

LEXINGTON, Ky. ( FOX 56 ) — What a difference a few days make after starting the week with highs in the mid-30s. On Thursday, we were able to break 60!

Thanks to those breezy winds from the south, most of the Blue Grass saw temperatures run 5 to 10 degrees above average. That trend continues into the weekend, but it comes with a few rounds of rain.

Overnight, clouds increase as a swath of rain pushes into the commonwealth for the Friday morning commute. We’ll see periods of moderate rainfall through mid-morning, and the bulk of the rain will fall before noon.

Lows will only fall into the 40s before high temperatures surge into the upper 50s again by late afternoon. Southerly winds at 10 to 20 mph with gusts over 30 mph will keep it breezy on Friday.

Friday evening will be cloudy and mostly dry, but stray showers will linger even into Saturday morning.

As the frontal boundary stalls out over Kentucky Saturday, areas across our southeast zones will see more scattered rain develop.

Even into Sunday, spotty showers will be possible to round out the weekend. All-in-all, rainfall totals will range between 0.5” and 1”+.

Temperatures through the weekend will hang in the 50s, until the cooler weather works in to start next week.

Something to keep an eye on is the active pattern into next week that will bring a few more chances for rain and possibly a wintry mix of rain and snow by Wednesday morning.
