Weekend weather planner: Thunder Over Louisville edition
WET WEATHER SO FAR THIS FRIDAY MORNING. IN YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES THOUGH, TO KICK OFF OUR FORECAST, WE’RE STILL GOING TO DEAL WITH SOME WEATHER IMPACTS, ESPECIALLY THE FURTHER SOUTH YOU LIVE. YOU’LL BE DEALING WITH A LITTLE MORE RAIN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, SO WE’LL WATCH FOR SOME EARLY SHOWERS AND STILL SOME WET ROADS IN THE METRO AND FURTHER NORTH. WE GOT TO GET THE SUN UP BEFORE WE START DRYING THINGS OUT, BUT WE WILL DRY OUT AND HAVE SOME AFTERNOON SUNSHINE MIXING IN FROM THE CLOUDS. BUT TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES COOLER FOR THE SHOWER. THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT’S ALL COMING WITH A COLD FRONT THAT IS GOING TO KNOCK DOWN THESE TEMPERATURES FOR A LONGER STRETCH. IT’S A BIG WEATHER PATTERN CHANGE THAT’S COMING IN THE WAKE OF THIS RAIN, WHICH IS STARTING TO PUSH ON OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE METRO COULD STILL SEE A LINGERING SPRINKLE OR TWO IN TOWN, BUT THE BULK OF THE RAIN IS DONE. WE HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS, THOUGH, THAT ARE MOVING AWAY. FROM YOU IN GREEN AND TAYLOR COUNTY STILL INTO OUR SOUTHERNMOST COUNTY, ADAIR COUNTY. COLUMBIA, DOWN ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PARKWAY. THAT’S WHERE YOU HAVE STILL SOME THUNDERSTORMS. NOTHING SEVERE, BUT SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS WITH THOSE TEMPERATURES MAINLY UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S. 63 IN THE METRO. BUT LOOK OUT TO THE WEST IN HUNTINGBURG AT 55. THAT’S THE LEADING EDGE OF SOME COOLER AIR THAT’S GOING TO DROP A LOT OF THESE 60S INTO THE 50S. AND IN FACT, WE’RE JUST 59 MIDDAY WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY, DRIER SKIES, WILL WORK IN SOME SUNSHINE AND GET HIGHS TO 67 IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT THAT WAS AFTER 84 YESTERDAY. SO YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT DROP IN THE NUMBERS. AND 57 GRABBING THE LIGHT JACKETS FOR YOUR EVENING PLANS. AND TONIGHT LOWS INTO THE MIDDLE 40S. SO WE’LL HAVE A CHILL TO THE AIR WITH CLEARING SKIES BY TOMORROW MORNING IN OUR THUNDER FORECAST THOUGH FOR TOMORROW THE AIR SHOW, KICKING OFF AT 3:00 WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S FOR HIGHS TOMORROW, AND BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE FIREWORKS PROGRAM, WE’RE DOWN INTO THE MIDDLE 50S. SO WE’RE MILD IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT I THINK WE’RE GOING TO WANT THE SWEATERS, THE JACKETS FOR THE EVENING PLANS WITH LOWS AGAIN INTO THE 40S. BY SUNDAY MORNING, JUST 60 DEGREES SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL KEEP THOSE COOLER THAN NORMAL 60S NEXT WEEK. AND DODGE A SHOWER CHANCE AS WE MOVE INTO TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY LATER INTO THE AFTERNOON.

Temperatures will be in the 60s for the air show and 50s for the fireworks. Beware if you're headed to the waterfront. A soggy week likely means a muddy mess in for the lawns.Sunday features more sunshine, but a little cooler with a high near 60.
