3/16 - 4:30pm - The Sun is Out!

After a few days without seeing the sun, clouds are clearing and brighter days are ahead! With this sunlight, temperatures will skyrocket into the 70's for both Tuesday and Wednesday. We should top out at 72 tomorrow, with 75 possible for Wednesday. As always, there's a price to pay for this nice weather, usually in the form of a cold front and thunderstorms. Compared to last week's temperature drop, this one won't be so bad. Storms will come through on Wednesday night with the cold front and temperatures should only top out in the mid 50's for Thursday, which isn't too bad. Severe weather shouldn't be an issue due to the late night passage of the storms and the lack of instability and shear present.

The sun will be back out for Friday, with a high near 60. We'll rise through the mid 60's during the weekend, which will be dry this time around.

March is Severe Weather Preparedness Month in Kentucky. Louisville's National Weather Service office has put together a nice page going over safety tips and tools you can use this Spring as severe weather cranks up in our area. Here's an interesting fact about tornadoes from the site:
Most often tornadoes travel around 30 mph but are capable of going 70 mph or are even capable of standing still.
