Cool, Brisk Friday...Cold Night Ahead

A cold front pushed through our area last night, taking the last of the showers with it. That's good news...we can finally enjoy some shower/thunderstorm-free days for a little while. Just don't expect much of a warmup! We've dropped into the 40s in many spots this morning and a stiff northwest breeze is making it feel even cooler. Clouds are leftover early but that northwest flow will draw in much drier air from the Great Lakes as our Friday wears on, so by Noon and the afternoon expect a lot of sunshine to break out. Even so, temperatures will struggle to warm a whole lot, only reaching a high of 64 degrees. Our normal high now is close to 80 so we're a long way from that. Winds will occasionally gust above 20 mph.

Live on the Levee kicks off in Charleston this evening with 600 lbs of Sin and The Voodoo Katz. Long-sleeves looks like the way to go as temperatures fall through the 50s into the upper 40s by the end of the concert under clear skies. Winds will subside tonight as high pressure builds in from the north, and that will set us up for some very cold temperatures (by late May standards). We'll bottom out around 36 in Charleston and Huntington. The record in Charleston is 33 and is only 39 in Huntington. Along the rivers some thick fog will form and that will keep the threat for frost at bay but in outlying rural areas, especially north and east of Charleston, frost is likely. If you're in some of the colder hollows outside of the cities cover your plants tonight!

High pressure will keep us pretty sunny Saturday with just a few thin high clouds mixed in at times. Temperatures will recover...a bit at least. We'll see a high of 68, still well below average. Winds will be lighter though so it should feel warmer than today.

A warm front will try to close in on us Saturday night and Sunday but should get blocked by that high, so we'll enjoy dry weather Sunday and a pretty good rebound. We'll start near 40 but reach a high of 74...very nice this time of year. Sunshine will mix with a few clouds, especially over in Kentucky.

Unfortunately it appears that warm front will finally slide through here Monday...and it will bring a quick return of moisture. When that happens air is forced to rise and you can get a band of southeastward moving showers and storms. That may be in the cards for us on Memorial Day. It's possible it can hold off until late but at this point we've got to mention some daytime showers and storms so keep a watch on the forecast if you have some cookout plans. Temperatures will top out in the 70s.

That front will lift north Tuesday...and depending on how quickly we may have a lingering shower or storm. Temperatures should push into the 80s in the afternoon as clouds begin to clear out. By Wednesday and Thursday that front will be well to our north, which spells dry and hot weather for us that will likely last through Friday. Temperatures each day will warm in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees...so if you're looking for the pools to warm up that's the time.
