Today's the day for Thunder Over Louisville! With a high near 76 and sunny skies, turn out will be much higher compared to last year. Rain should come through after midnight, so I expect the fireworks show to be nice and dry. Have a great time if you're going out there today!

4/17 - 8:30pm - Time for Thunder!
Follow my weather updates on Twitter or become a fan of Ryan Weather on Facebook (you can also add me as a friend if you have a profile).
Thunder Over Louisville is less than 24 hours away and the weather looks spectacular. With a high in the mid 70's, sunny skies, and fairly light winds, the air show and fireworks show should go off without a hitch. The chance of rain on the computer models a couple of days ago for the fireworks show has been pushed back far enough in time (well after midnight) for me to call for no rain during Thunder, so that's good news!
Rain will continue through the day on Sunday after starting in the early morning hours and should last until Monday. This rain will send temperatures down to near 60 for highs Monday through Wednesday, but recovery into the 70's looks good for Thursday through next weekend.
See you all at Thunder tomorrow!

4/16 - 7:30pm - How Does 74 Sound For Thunder?
All hope seemed lost for a warm day at around noon today, but the clouds cleared in the afternoon and left us with a high of 64. Not bad for starting out with a dull, cold morning! The sun will stick around for tomorrow and I think we'll actually break 70 degrees for a high.
74 will be the magic number for this weekend, the high for Saturday during Thunder Over Louisville. The rain chance for the fireworks show has been delayed a few hours on the computer models now, so I think the duration of Thunder will be completely dry. Rain should come into the picture on Sunday morning and last through Tuesday, but the rest of the week will be dry. Temperatures will take a hit in response to the incoming rain early next week, with 60's for Sunday, 50's for Monday and Tuesday, and 60's again for Wednesday. 70's are back for Thursday through the weekend!

4/15 - 7:30pm - Get Those Clouds Outta Here!
The pattern we've been in the last couple of days has been downright dreadful. 49 degrees and overcast skies seems light years away from a warm spring day, and it's hard to put up with when the average high temperature for April 15th is 67 degrees. Well, the buck stops here and temperatures are on the way up.
The sun should begin to peek out tomorrow, bringing temperatures well into the 60's for a high tomorrow. Look for highs to break 70 on Friday with plentiful sunshine. Weather for Thunder Over Louisville still looks great during the daytime airshow with temperatures in the 70's, and the rain chance for Saturday late afternoon/evening has diminished a bit on the computer models, so it should remain mostly dry around the area until well after the fireworks show. I'll keep you posted.

4/14 - 4pm - Rain During "Thunder?"
I've been asked this quite a few times today about the weather for Thunder Over Louisville this Saturday, and I must say that it doesn't look too bad. We should top out at around 70 during the afternoon, but the fireworks show could be marred by some late evening rain. It looks like the rain will start somewhere between 8 and 11pm, but luckily it doesn't look heavy at this point. I'll keep you up to date as the week goes on to see if this changes.Not much to say about today's weather, other than the fact that it rained cats and dogs for a short period this morning downtown. We'll see a repeat of today's weather, minus the rain, for tomorrow. Luckily, the clouds will clear and 60's will return for Thursday. Look for highs above 70 degrees for Friday. The rain from Saturday night continues into Sunday and will last until Tuesday with another cool start to the week.

4/13 - 5pm - Severe Weather Threat Over
Thanks to all those who joined my live severe weather blog today! (see previous post)
The severe weather threat in Louisville has ended. Rain will continue to fall for a few more minutes, but severe storms will continue to be an issue in Southern Indiana and parts of northeastern Kentucky for another hour or so. We got some pea-sized hail and lightning in Louisville, but we dodged a bullet compared to reports of funnel clouds in Southern Indiana and in Henry County so far.
A few more showers are possible tomorrow, but we should clear out for Wednesday. Highs on both days should stay in the 50's. Temperatures in the 60's come back into the area on Thursday and should stick around until Sunday.
