3/17 - 5pm - St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! The luck of the Irish is certainly with us if you've been outside and enjoyed the nice weather today. It may not be the warmest St. Patrick's Day on record in Louisville, but it's certainly pretty warm! Louisville's NWS office has put out a great St. Patrick's Day weather fact sheet for Kentucky... check it out here.

While it started out cold, today turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of 2009 so far. We're holding at 71 right now, which is also the high temperature so far for today. We may bump it up a degree or so in the next hour, but I think we've hit the ceiling. Tomorrow will be even warmer as southwest winds increase in intensity ahead of a cold front poised to make its way through the region tomorrow night.

While they won't be severe, thunderstorms will roll through tomorrow night ahead of this cold front. As you may have guessed, cooler temperatures will follow this front. We'll see mid 50's for Thursday and upper 50's for Friday, but 60's and more dry weather will be on tap for this weekend. Looks like we'll make another run at 70 early next week before yet another cold front comes through on Tuesday.
